[htdig] indexing multiple databases

[shams khan]

Hi,   I have a couple of questions relating to creating multiple indexes / databases.   1) When creating a second index, I obviously change the "prefix" path (so that all the files get installed to a different directory), but I keep the IMAGE_DIR the same (as I am not too bothered about images being overwitten)..... but what about the BIN_DIR.  Can i overwrite the binaries from the first htdig install with binaries from the second ?  My concern is that other variables set in the CONFIG file gets hard coded into the binaries... i fthis is the case then I will need to set the BIN_DIR to different folders for seperate HtDig installations... ??   2) I would like to create 3 seperate databases for 3 different folders on our webserver.  I don't want to use 1 database with exclude and restrict variables, because I've read in the FAQ that they can be overridden!   So... can someone advise me whether there is any security risk with the following indexes / settings:   The three htdig installations will be installed to seperate folders within /var/www/html/sme/   The search forms for each installation will also reside in seperate directories, and each search form will call a seperate htsearch binary   The htsearch binaries will be placed within the /var/www/html/cgi-bin/ folder   HTML       /var/www/html/sme/site1/site1search.html CONF       /var/www/html/sme/site1/htdig/htdig.conf BINARY    /var/www/html/cgi-bin/htsearch1   HTML        /var/www/html/sme/site2/site2search.html CONF       /var/www/html/sme/site2/htdig/htdig.conf BINARY    /var/www/html/cgi-bin/htsearch2   HTML        /var/www/html/sme/site3/site3search.html CONF       /var/www/html/sme/site3/htdig/htdig.conf BINARY    /var/www/html/cgi-bin/htsearch3   Thanks for any help!   Shams
