"/etc/dwww/apache.conf" not found after installation. cannot view documents in /usr/share/doc or /usr/share/doc/HTML directories without getting the following (though similar errors which point to the same directory):
The requested URL /cgi-bin/dwww/usr/share/doc/ was not found on this server.
The requested URL /cgi-bin/dwww/usr/share/doc/menu/html/index.html was not found on this server.
Though these files can be found manually, such as through file:/// or a file manager.

I've had the same issue and have found the solution.
The cgi module in apache is not enabled by default or is improperly enabled.
Enabling cgi resolves this issue.
You can use the apache tools:
sudo a2enmod cgi
sudo service apache2 restart
This really should be enabled by default - anyone installing dwww will expect it to work.
