Re: Minicpan mirror on lan, not working with cpanplus client

Do any of the path variations actually work? Seems a lot easier just to try them outside of your cpan client, e.g.

curl -I 'http://192.168.1.7/minicpan/authors/id
/O/OA/OALDERS/Archive-Any-0.0946.tar.gz'

ysth asked: Do any of the path variations actually work? Seems a lot easier just to try them outside of your cpan client I tried out your suggestion with `curl' and apache was unable to find the module via any of the variations, but `find' with the `-L` switch (to follow symlinks) shows me hundreds of modules present under `/var/www/public/minicpan/authors/id/`. That was a good idea. I'm not sure what I'm going to do now, but I will get this working one way or another. Am checking out the documentation for Apache2 aliases as per hippo's suggestion.

To make Apache follow your symlinks, RTFM: <Directory>, Options: `<Directory "/some/where/on/your/disk"> Options FollowSymLinks </Directory>` [download] It should be on by default, but may have been disabled somewhere in the Apache config.
