Re: [gentoo-user] http-replicator: error: invalid directory '/var/cache/http-replicator' [ ok ]

[Dan Sheffner]

Can you please post your make.conf.  Also I don't understand this?
Don't the "[1]" and "[2]" in the lines below invalidate them as URL's? They
don't work in a browser, maybe wget can use them?.

The error is happening when I execute /etc/init.d/http-replicator start. Why
would you use wget that is to just download files??  What do you mean also
by invalidate?
