A few comments on installation.

First, my compliments on a very smooth install.

A couple of minor issues. The installation manual says that WW is initially configured to work with dvipng version >= 1.0. This is not correct. The options for dvipng in Constants.pm are set for versions < 1.0. One needs to make that change.

A second note is that for those of us who want the htdocs/tmp directory to be a symbolic link to some partition which is not backed up, one needs to change the apache directives to allow symlinks as indicated below.

Alias $webwork_htdocs_url $webwork_htdocs_dir # Options None Options FollowSymLinks AllowOverride None </Directory>

Tom
