doc-central as of 1.9.0
-----------------------

  Doc-central is no longer allowed to automatically install content
  below '/var/www/'. This is dictated by FHS compliance.
  
  The old packages used to offer a local service
  
          "http://localhost/dc/".
	  
  This can now be accomplished by registering an alias with the web
  server, or failing that, for a less capable web server, by manually
  creating a soft link for the desired location below the web document
  root, then pointing to '/usr/share/doc-central/www'.

  To exemplify, the gist of these server aliases could be

    (Apache2)   Alias  /dc  /usr/share/doc-central/www

    (Lighttpd)  alias.url += ( "/dc/" => "/usr/share/doc-central/www/" )

  This package installs a ready made, but restrictive, alias
  definition for Apache2 in '/etc/apache2/conf.d/doc-central.conf'.

  When doc-central was originally written the default Apache configuration
  would export /usr/share/doc/. That was considered a privacy issue and
  was disabled by default.

  The above doc-central.conf will add an alias for /doc and restricit
  it to localhost.

  Also may need to enable cgi.

  With Apache that is a2enmod cgid or a2enmod cgi
