Follow-up to my previous reply. I have found the problem.


I followed your advice regarding INDEX_ARC_DIR. It had been set to
/tmp_mnt$ARC_DIR (because that's how it came "out of the box", in
wilma_template.cf)

I had ARC_DIR set to /usr/local/etc/httpd/htdocs/$LIST.w3archive. However,
/usr/local/etc/httpd is actually a symbolic link to
/usr/local/etc/apache_1.2.6.

So, to fix things, I simply changed the following:

	ARC_DIR /usr/local/etc/httpd/htdocs/$LIST.w3archive
	INDEX_ARC_DIR /tmp_mnt$ARC_DIR

to be:

	ARC_DIR /usr/local/etc/apache_1.2.6/htdocs/$LIST.w3archive
	#INDEX_ARC_DIR

That fixed it. My only gripe is this means wilma isn't supporting symbolic
links the way I'd like. When I upgrade to a new version of apache, I'll
have to remember to go in and edit all my wilma *.cf files.
