The website has been completely reorganized now so all the static *.html
files are gone (except for docbook-manual, as you say) and replaced with
*.php files.  So the fundamental issue on your Debian box seems to be the
script is not installing the PLplot website *.php files properly.  Probably
the script or supporting build-system commands make an assumption that works
on my Debian box but not yours so probably a script update or build-system
update will be required to fix this.

Please look at the script (scripts/generate_website.sh) that you ran.  Do
you see how it keeps track of output from all steps using *.out files in
various sub-directories of /tmp/plplotdoc?

softw...@raven> grep '.out' scripts/generate_website.sh
     >& cmake.out
make VERBOSE=1 -j3 prebuild_dist >& make_prebuild.out
make VERBOSE=1 www-install-base >& make_www-install-base.out
make VERBOSE=1 www-install >& make_www-install.out
     scripts/htdocs-gen_plot-examples.sh >& htdocs_gen.out

To debug this further, I need to look at each of these files in turn to see
where the script first started going wrong.  So please send those files when
you reply to this.  Could you also send me the screen output from running
scripts/generate_website.sh?  It is possible some of the four responses
to questions that you gave are not correct.

BTW, the PHP application server package of software is very useful for
serving out the local PLplot web pages to browsers, but has nothing to
do with the installation of the above *.php files.

Hope this reply is clear to you, and I am looking forward to the requested
files.

Alan
