Deploying on live websites

[cryptic0]

I already have a website at say http://example.com hosted from /var/www/html/

If I place a folder called notes inside /var/www/html/notes and clone fancy-index inside notes/, then copied .htaccess from fancy-index to /var/www/html/ and restarted apache, things should start working right?

But they are not. I also added a staged this folder inside /etc/apache2/apache2.conf as follows:

<Directory /var/www/html/notes>
AllowOverride All
Options Indexes MultiViews FollowSymlinks
Require all granted

Any idea what's going on?

That sounds correct to me.

I've only ever used this locally for my Mac, so I'm not sure how it would behave on different systems.

Maybe try quotes around your path? Like in the readme

<Directory "/var/www/html/notes">
    AllowOverride All
    Options Indexes MultiViews FollowSymLinks
    Require all granted
</Directory>

Do you get any errors that you can search the internet for? Maybe a log file has more information.

Hi Glen, Thanks for your speedy response. Strangely enough, fancy-index has started working mysteriously, albeit not fully, on my end. Take a look at http://crypticlineage.net/notes. The css is now functional, but the timestamps are all whacky. Can you direct me to the script that's controlling the time stamps? Thanks Vikram

The fixTime method in script.js is what changes the time to an "ago" value. If you view the source of the generated index page, you'll notice that the time starts as something like "2017-10-26 13:14". It's possible there's a bug in the small parser I wrote.
