Description-en: Read all on-line documentation with a WWW browser
All installed on-line documentation will be served via a local HTTP
server at http://localhost/dwww/. This package runs cron scripts to
convert available resources to the HTML pages. Executing the dwww
command starts a sensible WWW browser locally to access them.
.
You need to install a CGI-capable HTTP server and enable its CGI script
capability manually (CGI may be disabled by default for the security
consideration). For apache2, do something along the following:
.
$ sudo a2enmod cgid
$ sudo systemctl restart apache2
.
The default for the HTTP/CGI access is limited to the local user for
the security consideration.
