Yes catdoc is installed at works great. I've put in the correct path for catdoc in all the parsers, and like I said htparsedoc and parse_doc.pl work just fine. I can point them to a word doc and it works, but doc2html dosen't.
That's why it's so confusing. I've followed the docs, catdoc is installed and works, 2 of the 3 paerser work from the command line. I've put in what I've seen in the examples in my config. Beyond that I don't know why it's not working.
