"The requested document does not match the file lurker intends to generate"

Hi,

I just set up my first lurker instance on a Debian system,
but using
a searate configuration file pointing into my home
directory, since
I do not want a system-wide instance.

I have checked all permissions and paths multiple times.
However,
I cannot get lurker to work. If I request

  $HTTP_BASE/splash/index.en.html

I simply get

  Lurker - failed to render page:
  Requested document is in error
($FILESYSTEM_BASE/lurker/splash):

  The requested document does not match the file lurker
intends to
  generate: $FILESYSTEM_BASE/lurker/splash/index.en.html

If I leave off the index.en.html, apache2 returns a 404.

Any ideas what I am doing wrong?

Most likely you've given the wrong path to the website base
directory  
in the lurker config file.
What are HTTP_BASE and FILESYSTEM_BASE?

As a first guess, I'd say you intend the lurker directory
tree to be  
contained in $FILESYSTEM_BASE/lurker, but specified
frontend = $FILESYSTEM_BASE
instead of
frontend = $FILESYSTEM_BASE/lurker
...

What are the actual paths and configuration value of
'frontend'?

Yeah, absolutely correct, I am an idiot. I did not copy
/var/www/lurker to $HTTP_BASE, which is under $HOME. 

It works now. Thanks for your help and the hint with the
sledgehammer.
