Howdy Everyone, I am having trouble setting up HTdig to search pdf files.
All right I have set up Htdig and have configured it to read 4 files on my website. The first file is a HTML with links to 3 pdf files. From the verbose output of rundig I can tell that HTdig sees the files and then eliminates them from the database due to no excerpt. NOT because of any size limits! I have run pdftotext and pdfinfo on both of these files successfully. I have also ran the doc2html.pl script from the command line on the pdf files with no problem. In my attempts to figure out what is going on I have added debug code to the perl doc2html.pl script to see if it is even running. The debug code simply writes to a file the parameters it receives. Here is the code from doc2html.pl $outputfile = �/var/www/cgi-bin/doc2html.debug�; open(DAT, �>>$outputfile�) || die(�Cannot Open Outputfile.�); print DAT �\n\nInput:�$Input�;MIME_type:�$MIME_type�;URL:�$URL�;Name:�$Name;\n\n� close(DAT); This code is right after $Input, $MIME_type, and $Name are assigned values so it should give an idea of what Htdig is sending the perl script. This works wonders when I run perl script and yet when I run Htdig the output file doesn�t get touched. So to me this would imply that Htdig is not even calling the perl script from here one might assume that my web server is misconfigure and not passing the mime type as �application\pdf�. I have checked the configuration of my Apache server which by the way is version 2.0.40, and it is great. Not to mention the fact that the verbose method of rundig declared the mime type of the pdf�s to be application\pdf! My version of htdig is 3.2.0b4, and my version of perl is 5.8.0. So if any one has any ideas I would love to hear them as I am out of stuff to try. I would love to hear if anyone has htdig searching pdfs on a RedHat machine presently as then I would at least know that it is my set up instead of something more fishy. Thanks, Dustin York. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
