What does your start_url look like? Does it perhaps resolve or redirect to a PHP file? If so, then you will immediately exclude indexing of the first file and therefore never find any additional URLs to retrieve. Try executing rundig with two or three '-v' options. This should provide you with additional information that shows what htdig is seeing and how it is responding. > 2. I have added the external parsers required for .doc, .pdf, .rtf.

Again your best bet is probably to start by trying a run with some '-v's. This will allow you to determine whether htdig is even seeing the files that you want to index. There are a lot of reasons for htdig not seeing files that you might expect it to find. If this appears to be the case the following is a good place to start looking for answers. http://www.htdig.org/FAQ.html#q5.27 > 3.

By default, htsearch uses templates that are compiled into the executable; this provides a slight performance advantage. In order to use the template files, you need to make some changes to your configuration file. Search htdig.conf (or whatever you named it) for template_map and template_name. Also see the following. http://www.htdig.org/attrs.html#template_map http://www.htdig.org/attrs.html#template_name Jim ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials Free Linux tutorial presented by Daniel Robbins, President and CEO of GenToo technologies.
