Hi Everyone:
I just installed htDig at MindSpring last week and although the search
works great, I�ve run into a problem.
At MindSpring, all I did was press the �Install Button� to install the
program so I really didn�t have any control over it (or probably ever will
have any more control over it).
When I looked at the sample search.html that it generated, it had the
name of my config file as �wfpxxxx� which is my User ID name at
MindSpring. However, the strange part is that the name of the actual
configuration file is htdig/conf/htdig.conf
The partsof the html form that might deal with this are:
<p align="center"><form method="post" action="/cgi-bin/htsearch">
<input type=hidden name=config value=wfpxxxx>
This performs the search perfectly. I even know that it is referencing
htdig/conf/htdig.conf because I�ve already modified the header.html and
footer.html which also worked perfectly even though the form is calling it
wfpxxxx.
I�ve looked everywhere to see where it is switching my User ID for the
actual name which I�ve seen with my own eyes is htdig.conf
My goal would be either to use the default name (htdig) or substitute a
new configuration name such as elexp (I feel that using my User ID in a
form where anyone can open up the source code and see it would violate
half the security of my site leaving only the password for protection.)
Things that I have already tried that didn�t work:
1. I copied htdig.conf into a new file and renamed it elexp.conf and put it
in htdig/conf/ directory
My config line then looked like this: <input type=hidden name=config
value=elexp>
2. Deleted the config line altogether as Geoff Hutchison suggested last
January. MindSpring claims that I installed Version 3.1.2 which should
then default to htdig.conf.
Both times I got the error message:
htsearch detected an error. Please report this to the webmaster of this
site. The error message is:
Unable to read configuration file
'/usr/local/htdig/conf/htdig.conf'
I have already emailed MindSpring several times and they have been
absolutely no help at all.
Does anyone out there have any idea what�s going on and how I can
change the referenced name of my config file? I can use my ftp program
to modify files.
Thanks for any help with this problem.
Susan
