This must be a misconfiguration in spiderzilla - 
unfortunately I can not really help you without much 
details. Can you check in the hts-cache/doit.log file that 
was generated (probably in your home directory, inside 
the "websites" directory) and tell me what are the first 
lines ?

Exactly :)

Just launch the index.html created in 
~/websites/<projectname>/ with Mozilla

Please check the /home/mike/website/test/hts-cache/doit.log 
file :)
