Description Johannes Klas 2006-03-07 08:37:28 UTC 
While I am trying to configure cups via the webbackend (localhost://631), i have found a bug in the standard cupsd.conf. The directory /usr/share/cups/doc (Line 578) doensn't exist. So if I try to commect (via web) to the server, i get an error message. To correct this, the Document Root should be /usr/share/doc/packages/cups/.
Comment 1 Johannes Meixner 2006-03-07 09:05:19 UTC 
Your "standard cupsd.conf" doesn't match to your installed cups RPM.

It works well for us:
In my Suse Linux 10.0 cupsd.conf there is
----------------------------------------------------------------------
# DocumentRoot: the root directory for HTTP documents that are served.
# By default "/usr/share/doc/packages/cups".
#

#DocumentRoot /usr/share/doc/packages/cups
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I do have /usr/share/doc/packages/cups
I don't have any "/usr/share/cups/doc" in my cupsd.conf.

I assume you updated from an older version and because an update
cannot be allowed to simply overwrite cupsd.conf, it uses the old
cupsd.conf but it installs the new one as .rpmnew file.
