[Orca-users] Re: I want html_dir to NOT be the root of my html tree!

[Blair Zajac]

Yes, I do this all the time.  Just set html_dir to

	/var/apache/htdocs/orcallator

and it should work.  When Orca is all done it should leave a index.html file
there that will be the default page for that directory.

The html_dir is not used in any generated HTML, so the whole orcallator
directory can be easily relocated.

I don't understand this sentence:

Can you give more detail here?
