Question

Answer 1

+2 A:

This is a known issue. As a workaround you can configure your Apache installation (if you have one) to serve your doc directory using this small PHP script.

@Martjin: regarding that link, does hackage.haskell.org work for you? from here it looks like it's down for the last two days, and http://downforeveryoneorjustme.com/hackage.haskell.org confirms..

Thanks, your notes in that post also led me to change my .cabal/config to generate docs by default.

Hackage should be back up now. :-) Yes, it was down for a while. People were asking about it in the Haskell café as well.

Answer 2

+2 A:

You should be able to generate local documentation with:

cabal install $project --haddock

Assuming you have Haddock installed.

Thanks - the hackage link in the other answer led me to the same flag. Then I updated my .cabal/config file to make that the default. Now (on OS X) I can say "open ~/.cabal/share/doc/$project-*/html/index.html" and the docs pop up in my browser. I've written a bash function to do that for a project name or print an error message if the index.html file doesn't exist.

Answer 3

+1 A:

cabal install $project --haddock

The above didn’t work for me. However, replacing “--haddock” with “--enable-documentation” did. Now, if they could allow the “--hyperlink-source” flag to zip through to haddock I’d be very happy.
