+If the srcdir is a symlink, Ikiwiki will not render the pages unless the srcdir has a trailing slash.
+
+For example:
+
+ #!/bin/sh
+ set -x
+
+ REALSRCDIR=~/tmp/ikiwiki/wikiwc2
+ SRCDIR=~/tmp/ikiwiki/wikiwc
+ DESTDIR=~/tmp/ikiwiki/public_html/wiki/
+
+ echo "*** Testing without trailing slash."
+
+ rm -rf $REALSRCDIR $SRCDIR $DESTDIR
+
+ # Create the real srcdir and link the srcdir to it
+ mkdir -p $REALSRCDIR
+ ln -s $REALSRCDIR $SRCDIR
+
+ mkdir -p $DESTDIR
+
+ echo Test > $SRCDIR/index.mdwn
+
+ # No trailing slash after $SRCDIR
+ ikiwiki --verbose $SRCDIR $DESTDIR --url=http://example.org/~you/wiki/ --underlaydir /dev/null
+
+ echo "*** Testing with trailing slash."
+
+ rm -rf $REALSRCDIR $SRCDIR $DESTDIR
+
+ # Create the real srcdir and link the srcdir to it
+ mkdir -p $REALSRCDIR
+ ln -s $REALSRCDIR $SRCDIR
+
+ mkdir -p $DESTDIR
+
+ echo Test > $SRCDIR/index.mdwn
+
+ # Trailing slash after $SRCDIR
+ ikiwiki --verbose $SRCDIR/ $DESTDIR --url=http://example.org/~you/wiki/ --underlaydir /dev/null
+
+My output:
+
+ + REALSRCDIR=/home/svend/tmp/ikiwiki/wikiwc2
+ + SRCDIR=/home/svend/tmp/ikiwiki/wikiwc
+ + DESTDIR=/home/svend/tmp/ikiwiki/public_html/wiki/
+ + echo '*** Testing without trailing slash.'
