i don't know what dwww is, if its one of those documentation type of things that really is only meant to be used by local users, it really should not be in the document root. instead apache should be configured with a localhost only entry for /var/lib/dwww like you would do for /usr/share/doc or such. > > just make sure its not owned by www-data.www-data! > > I did, after reading your comments on the list.
