Hello. I am trying to follow the instructions here<http://mirror.fcaglp.unlp.edu.ar/CRAN/> to set up a mirror at my company as my developers are not allowed to go outside our firewall to download R packages. I am not having much success in getting this to work. Here is how I configured my httpd server: <VirtualHost *:80> ServerName cran.xxx.xxx.xxx.org RewriteEngine on RewriteRule ^package=(.+) /web/packages/$1/index.html [R=seeother] RewriteRule ^view=(.+) /web/views/$1.html [R=seeother] DocumentRoot /ddd/ddd/ddd/ftp.ussg.iu.edu/CRAN </VirtualHost> Here is the directory structure of my Linux server for CRAN: /opt/OSS/CRAN-Mirror/ftp.ussg.iu.edu/CRAN: bin doc src web I don't find a banner.shtml anywhere or indeed anthing that looks like your front page. I cannot get rsync to work so I used wget. Here is the command I used: /usr/bin/wget -r -P '/ddd/ddd/ddd/' 'http://ftp.ussg.iu.edu/CRAN/web/packages/available_packages_by_name.html' Can you see what I am doing wrong?
