Hi - I am a beginner here and have some more questions. Apologies for taking up time
on some of this.
1. Ultimately I am interested in phrase and proximity search capabilities. I have been
working at installing 3.1.5. I have read the release notes and see that the beta of
3.2 should be installed separately etc., since it uses different protocols, etc. I am
wondering if I should just go ahead and start working with 3.2 - will it be difficult
to upgrade between fixes?
2. Being new to the Lunix environment, I am just getting acquainted with the File
Hierarchy Standards ideas, and am uncertain how important it is to follow based on the
following. I have noticed that the FHS applies to administrators setting up systems,
but I alos notice that my web host has other protocol in place for the section of the
server I have access to. For example, the root of my server (I only have telnet/ftp
access), has a /www directory that contains all of the websites, and a /home directory
that is my home directory and contains all other home directories. I have real space
in each subdirectory under my domain name - /www/myname/ and /home/myname. There is a
link from /home to /www. This at first caused me some difficulty, but I got it figured
out.
The htdig configuration program/file assume that the website will be located under the
server's /opt subdirectory - so configure by default produces files with this
location: /opt/www. "opt" is the name of subdirectories in which the user should put
non-system programs - their applications, if I udnerstand correctly. There are also
the "var" and "bin" subdirectories.
Is there a recommended file hierarchy I should use in the directory I have available?
I am building my site in the /www/myname/ subdirectory. That is where cgi-bin is
located (/www/myname/cgi-bin). Will it be easier, in the long run, to use a certain
file system - I assume it will be, since htdig, and probably other apps, use a common
base of standards I am unfamiliar with.
I am asking a narrow question - what subdirectories would it be best to use in setting
up htdig:
/www/myname/opt (put htdig here as separate subdirectory
/cgi-bin (htdig automatically puts stuff here
/var (? not sure what to put here
/bin (? not sure how to use this one - or even where it
should be vis-a-vis htdig
/htdocs (? is the name important or standard?
the subdirectory "htdocs" - I assume this means hypertext docs - and should be where
the content is - is "htdocs" a standard name, or an abbreviation used by the htdocs
people?
Thanks
John
