My attempt to upgrade WWWOFFLE from version 2.6c (which installed without a hitch and has always worked perfectly) failed miserably..
I attempted to follow the instructions to the extent that I understood them and everything appeared to work fine. The only element that I failed to understand was the syntax of the perl script that was supposed to update my wwwoffle.conf file - because the file to be updated was sitting in the /var/spool/wwwoffle directory and the file to be modified was in the /etc directory (not in /etc/wwwoffle - which does not exist). However, I made the minimal changes manually and tried my luck. And that is where I crashed. I loaded wwwoffled manually and it worked; it gave the following message: wwwoffled[1029] Important: WWWOFFLE Demon Version 2.7 (with zlib,without ipv6) started. However, when I attempted to access the files that are sitting in the WWWOFFLE cache, I failed. The only browser that made a serious effort was Konqueror and it notified: Connection to host localhost is broken. My instinct is that the problem is due to having all my old WWWOFFLE files in /var/spool/wwwoffle, while the new location is probably in a /etc sub-directory. But I am not game to experiment. If there is a simple remedy, I would be glad to know. If the worst comes to the worst, I can always delete version 2.7 and re-install version 2.6c. And if that fails, then I am really history.
