BTW, in case it's of interest to the developers, this success is on Redhat 5.2 on SPARC (a sun4m SPARCstation 20). >Do one better and upgrade to 3.1.6 instead;) here is the latest snapshot: > > http://www.htdig.org/files/snapshots/ Well I downloaded it but haven't tried it yet. I note that not only does 3.1.6 contain bug-fixes (==> "better stability") but also the recent security fix, so I'm paying close attention ! > To use the url_part_aliases attribute you'll need to set up a config > file for indexing and a separate one for searching. > > htdig.conf: > url_part_aliases: http://123.123.123.123/ *1 > > htsearch.conf: > url_part_aliases: / *1 Hmm. I had seen that advice in the help, but still don't understand why just one config file and one url_part_aliases directive isn't enough. If my original htdig indexing run stores URLs beginning http://123.123.123.123 in the database, then surely in a single shared htdig.conf: url_part_aliases: / http://123.123.123.123/ should be enough to get the required relative URL generated by htsearch ? I'm grateful anyway for your speedy help.
