[htdig] Help Initial Configuration

[Rob Ramsey]

I can tell by reading all the documentation that my problem is common but for the life of me I cannot find a resolution.   Forgive my ignorance I have not been working at this level for long. But I have been put in charge of this project and must find a solution as soon as possible.   Server: CPanel Pentium 3 running red hat enterprise version 3   HTDIG version is unknown. I installed  htdig via the whm panel provided with the server; I presume it is an RPM.   For some reason it installed the files in folders that do not seem to be typical according to all documentation.   With only a few problems I was able to modify htdig.conf and the rundig script and get rundig to execute creating a searchable index.   I ran htsearch from the command line and bingo results look good.   Now I attempt to use search.html and nothing works.   By following the instructions for Configuring Apache (tarball only) as found at http://www.scrounge.org/linux/htdig.html  I was able execute htsearch from the web page but here is the dilemma: I cannot get past the Premature end of script headers error.  Followed by file does not exist /home…./500.shtml.  (this is all the information the error_log file shows) Please Help   Rob   Configuration Files:   DB dir:  /var/lib/htdig Common Dir: /usr/share/htdig Config Dir: /etc/ ScriptAlias created for apache /htdig-cgi/ /usr/bin/ Alias /htdig/ /usr/share/htdig/   TIA
