Ok, I installed the htdig-3.1.4-0glibc21.i386.rpm on a RedHat 6.1 system. I copied /var/lib/htdig to /usr/lib/htdig since I don't have enough space for the db under /var. 1. I made the following changes to /etc/htdig/htdig.conf database_dir: /usr/lib/htdig/db start_url: http://24.4.5.3/ (Note: I have two nics, one for Intranet with IP 192.168.0.1 and one for Internet with 24.4.5.3 At bottom of file is this: start_url: http://pegasus.oasis.net/ local_urls: http://pegasus.oasis.net/=/home/httpd/html/ #local_user_urls: http://pegasus.oasis.net/=/home/,/public_html/ The domain thats in here is one I made up for my 192.168.0.1(Intranet address) which is in my hosts file as 192.168.0.1 pegasus.oasis.net Should I change this to my Internet name? 2. Next, I changed /usr/sbin/rundig Made the following changes: DBDIR=/usr/lib/htdig/db COMMONDIR=/usr/lib/htdig/common I wonder if I could have just created a symbolic link in /var/lib/htdig to /usr/lib/htdig 3. I renamed my .htaccess file to htaccess since htdig will not process directories that are password protected. 4. I remove all symbolic links I have within the html directory. The reason for this is because I have symbolic links to /usr/doc and a few other areas that would make the db to large. 5. I start the apache server since I get an error if its not running when I try and run /usr/sbin/rundig 6. I check the size of my html directory which is 50 meg 7. I run /usr/sbin/rundig 8. I have to go to work and rundig is still going after about 30 minutes. I have to shutdown the apache server so no one else can get into it since its not password protected. I shut it down and check to see if rundig is still running, it is. 9. I come home from work, rundig is done 10. I access search.html from the root directory and type in test and get the following error: ht://Dig error htsearch detected an error. Please report this to the webmaster of this site. The error message is: Unable to read word database file '/usr/lib/htdig/db/db.words.db' Did you run htmerge? 11. I figure its a permission problem so I chmod 644 /usr/lib/htdig/db/* I try and run another search and I get same error. I figure maybe it has to run as my server user which is nobody so I change the owner and group to nobody. Still same problem. 12. I run htsearch from the command line in my cgi directory. htsearch -vvv I get prompt and type in test I get results (works) Is it a permissions problem? ------------------------------------ To unsubscribe from the htdig mailing list, send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] You will receive a message to confirm this.
