Description Lynn Wheelwright 2007-03-01 23:07:10 UTC
Persistent failure to find specified doctype (msg 337) - fails on validator test cases.  Fixed by removing -R parameter from call to onsgml.exe (inspite of warnings)--it doesn't work otherwise on version 1.5.1.  

Installed latest Apache server (2.2.4) and latest perl from ActiveState (820) and latest perl modules.  These also broke the check script for win2k.  Fixed by editing a directory path (check script attached).  It also breaks version 0.7.2 of the check script (same edit).

The installation instructions for windows also have an error: under the title 'Configuration of the Validator', the sgml-lib is at c:\www\sgml-lib, but under the title 'Directory Structure' it is at C:\www\validator\htdocs\sgml-lib.  The latter is correct.

Closing this (as "fixed" although it is a little dubious), as 0.8.0+ does not directly call onsgmls directly any longer.
