[htdig] WordDB: DB->cursor: method meaningless before open

[Jeff]

Hi,   While upgrading from 3.1.5 to 3.2.0b3-020401, I seem to have run into a wall.   htdig, htmerge, and htpurge all run without reporting any errors (using -v), but whenever I try to launch htsearch from within a perl program, I get the following error: WordDB: DB->cursor: method meaningless before open   From the output I got when calling it verbosely from a shell prompt, it looks like it's parsing the query_string properly, but I'm not sure whether it's actually using the proper conf file (the output doesn't really seem to give a clue one way or another).   I tried searching the archived messages, but the search function for the sourceforge lists doesn't seem to work at all, and the search function on htdig.sourceforge.net points to non-existent documents (is there anyplace where old list messages can still be searched and read?)   Any suggestions what to try next?   Thanks!   -- Jeff   When I called it from the shell (all one line): ***************************************************************************** /www/htnew $cgi-bin/htsearch -v -d -c conf/cni-res-1.conf  "sort=score&matchesperpage=10&method=and&page=1&words=engineer&format=long" ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Here's what I got:   tempWords: 'engineer:0 ' Boolean: 'engineer:0 ' initial: '' Fuzzy on: engineer    exact engineer    synonyms    endings    prefix word=engineer prefix_suffix=* prefix_suffix_length=1 minimum_prefix_length=1   searchWords: 'engineer:0 ' LogicalWords: engineer Pattern: engineer perform_push @0: engineer WordDB: DB->cursor: method meaningless before open score: empty list, push 0 @0 term:factor Content-type: text/html   ********************************************************** The relevant lines from the conf file cni-res-1.conf: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ database_dir:/www/htnew/db/cni/resumes start_url: http://localhost/resumes/cni/1 database_base:${database_dir}/1db   search_algorithm: exact:1 synonyms:0.5 endings:0.1 prefix:0.5 description_factor: 0 text_factor: 1 title_factor: 2 backlink_factor: 0   max_head_length: 10000 max_doc_size: 3000000 extra_word_characters: _+   external_parsers: application/msword /www/htnew/bin/parse_doc.pl \      application/rtf /www/htnew/bin/parse_doc.pl \      text/rtf /www/htnew/bin/parse_doc.pl \      application/postscript /www/htnew/bin/parse_doc.pl \      application/pdf /www/htnew/bin/parse_doc.pl       limit_urls_to: ${start_url} maximum_pages: 100   search_results_header: /www/htdig/common/hrsmart_header-jobs.html search_results_footer: /www/htdig/common/hrsmart_footer-jobs.html template_map:  Long long /www/htdig/common/hrsmart_result.html \     Short short /www/htdig/common/hrsmart_result-jobs.html \     idlist idlist /www/htdig/common/hrsmart_idlist-jobs.html \     tease tease /www/htdig/common/ht_tease.html template_name: long valid_extensions: .html .htm .txt .pdf .doc .rtf .shtml   ************************************************************** A directory listing of /www/htnew/db/cni/resumes (the database_dir): -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -rw-r--r--   1 nobody   nobody     172032 Feb  9 17:10 1db.docdb -rw-r--r--   1 nobody   nobody     172032 Feb  9 17:10 1db.docdb.work -rw-r--r--   1 nobody   nobody      81920 Feb  9 17:10 1db.docs.index -rw-r--r--   1 nobody   nobody      81920 Feb  9 17:10 1db.docs.index.work -rw-r--r--   1 nobody   nobody    4423680 Feb  9 17:10 1db.excerpts -rw-r--r--   1 nobody   nobody    4423680 Feb  9 17:10 1db.excerpts.work -rw-r--r--   1 nobody   nobody    1389568 Feb  9 17:10 1db.words.db -rw-r--r--   1 nobody   nobody    1389568 Feb  9 17:10 1db.words.db.work -rw-r--r--   1 nobody   nobody      16384 Feb  9 16:46 1db.words.db.work_weakcmpr   **************************************************************** bin/htstat -v -a -c conf/cni-res-1.conf returns the following: --------------------------------------------------------------------------------  htstat: Total documents: 622 htstat: Total words: 252951 htstat: Total unique words: 32500
