You can't locate the directory listing because it doesn't exist as a file on your hard drive. Apache generates it dynamically. You can see it by pointing a web browser to the URL for that directory. In Netscape, if you then select "View Page Info" you'll see the Content Length for the whole directory listing. See http://www.htdig.org/FAQ.html#q5.25 (again) for more information about how htdig looks at Apache directories. The same index you see in your browser is the one htdig will look at to get the HTML links to your files.
All this is beside the point, though. The point is: what is your max_doc_size set to??? If you don't set it in your htdig.conf, it defaults to a mere 100000 bytes, which won't be enough for an index of 1477 files. If you do set it already, are you 100% certain that it's larger than the largest file or directory listing that htdig will ever encounter? You shouldn't need iron-clad proof that you've exceeded this limit before trying to increase it. Just do it and see if it fixes the problem. It's not that difficult, and it shouldn't take an exchange of 4 e-mails back and forth to convince you at least to try it.
