RE: [aseek-users] Install question

[Charles Linden]

OK thanks for the tip.  That did not work though.  I think I may just take a few days off from messing with it.  If you can could you e-mail me off list at [EMAIL PROTECTED] or IM me under AIM or Yahoo as majparadox.  I just have a few basic questions I would like to ask someone who has played with this for a while.  Thanks   Charles Linden Webmaster http://www.volvospeed.com   -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Edward Hermanson Sent: Sunday, June 02, 2002 5:28 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [aseek-users] Install question   That's cool. I am new to ASPseek. The only way I survived to install was because I know linux. You can add the user, using a GUI tool or at the command line;   useradd -m -p password   this will add the user and create a default start dir for aspseek under your default home_dir, copying any default startup folders and files from /etc/skel, and leave the default minimal permissions that you need for aspseek.   You want to avoid running "index" as root or as a user with extensive permissions on the server.   Good Luck!

So you know my background is LAN not WEB so take pity on my feeble mind.  Thank you so much for pointing me in the right direction.   Charles Linden Webmaster http://www.volvospeed.com   -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Edward Hermanson Sent: Sunday, June 02, 2002 11:29 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [aseek-users] Install question   Have you checked your errer logs? Usually they are in /var/logs but it depends on your install. Yes, "s.cgi" should look like that. Did you restart your server after indexing? I had to do that. Did you check you permissions? Did you put "s.cgi" in the cgi-bin of your document root?Did you or the program set up a new user called "aspseek"? Did you check to make sure that on install, ASpseek set up a mysql user called "aspseek"?   What version of Linux are you running?   That's all I can think of.   Ed ----- Original Message ----- From: Charles Linden   To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, June 02, 2002 8:06 AM Subject: [aseek-users] Install question   Ok I downloaded aspseek after 2 weeks of trying to install mnogosearch. I am now having the same problem with aspseek that I was having with mnogosearch, so I think I must be over looking something. I installed aspseek and ran ./index and ./index -D All went well with that. I checked mysql and the data was written to the tables. So it indexes correctly. The problem is my s.cgi script look like a jpeg in ascci. Should it? When I call to it all I get is a 500. Does anyone have any ideas, I already read through the FAQ and mailing list? If you can help me please let me know. Thank you so much for your time as I think I am about to loose my mind. Thanks,   Charles Linden Webmaster http://www.volvospeed.com
