Hi, Sorry for the late reply. the db.words.db is there and is more recent then db.wordlist, but the size is far from close. The size of dbwordlist is only 17 and db.words.db is 2819072. Is that a problem? Read permissions are OK.
The problem in the beginning is that it shows html with the words that no results were found, now I don't get even output expect the content-type. If I explicitely specify the conf file (there is only one on the whole system) with the dir and all, I do get a result. But I don't see how I give also a dir as a hidden field in the form or did I oversee something? Only one htdig is found, but there could be maybe some remainings. I do see no problem for that though cause I've installed the 3.2 beta after all again.
