Hi,

I have htdig running on my shared server environment after working out some problems. I thought I'd share this in case it might be of help to others .

I have a feeling I'm just missing a basic concept of htdig and this all makes perfect sense. If someone with a better grasp of htdig would like to use my situation as an example to perhaps help others, feel free. I would be willing to generate and forward the rundig -vvvv output in dysfunctional mode if it would be of help.

My particular situation involves moving a site from a different host. I am doing all the preparation work prior to moving the site. The existing host, is somedomain.com. I have a new site, somedomain.biz. I am getting everything ready, including htdig prior to switching the dns over, so that somedomain.com will answer up at the site hosting somedomain.biz.

During my troubleshooting, I checked and do not have a robots.txt file. I also tried disabling my .htaccess file and restarting the server. Neither helped. I also tried having htdig index both the the old site, somedomain.com and the new. It did the old site, but not the new.

start_url:   somedomain.com somedomain.biz

There are some URLS in files at the new site, (somedomain.biz) that have references the old site URL (somedomain.com).

The circumstances to get it working:

This did not work. It indexes only the home page and ignores the rest of the site.
start_url:              http://www.somedomain.biz/

This does not work either, it give a 403 Forbidden error.
start_url:
 http://www.somedomain.biz/subdir/

But much to my surprise, if I include a specific filename in a subdirectory, it will then index the entire site correctly:
 http://www.somedomain.biz/subdir/filename.html


I vaguely remember having the same issues several years ago on other installations.


Respectfully,
Paul Happ
