Hello Rupert, htdig v3.2, installed from the dist. CDs (RH8). The paths all seems OK as I would expect as the packager of the RPM was RedHat. Jim gave me some attributes to set which I did in /etc/htdig.conf as follows: start_url: http://www.users.tpg.com.au/gnichols/ancestors/ local_users_only: true local_urls: http://www.users.tpg.com.au/gnichols/ancestors/=/home/graeme/gramps/web/ local_user_urls: http://www.users.tpg.com.au/gnichols/ancestors/=/home/graeme/gramps/web/ Evolution has wrapped the lines, they're all one line in the htdig.conf file. The start_url: is the live site. It now bombs out with the following error; /usr/bin/rundig: line 48: 1772 Aborted $BINDIR/htnotify $opts Looking at the rundig script the DB, COMMON and BINDIR are where everything is and it appears correct. I re-directed the -vvv output to a file which I can attach to you if you agree. 28K which I can zip. Any help you can give me would be much appreciated. -- Kind regards, Graeme Nichols Public Key available from http://keyserver.kjsl.com:11371/#extract ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Greener's Law: Never argue with a man who buys ink by the barrel. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - IMPORTANT. - - The contents of this email and any attachments, which may be con- - - fidential, are sent for the personal attention of the addressee/s - - only.
