The possibility of running more than one database from one ht-Dig installation
is of interest to us too. I was planning to ask about it and thought I'd do so
now that it's been brought up. I think that you could establish more than one
htdig.conf file, each one referring to a different location for the database
directory, and direct htdig and htmerge to the appropriate htdig.conf file
using the "-c" flag to those commands. Is that the way to create multiple
databases the above e-mail message refers to?
I have found that changing the pathname definitions in rundig which includes
the line
DBDIR=/proj.solar/SOLAR-B/HTDIG/htdig.mail/htdig-3.1.5/HTDIG/db
does not affect the pathnames used by htdig and htmerge and that the various
pathnames are hard-coded into those programs.
If you do that have multiple databases, does the v. 3.2 code support a "-c"
flag for htsearch? Is there any way to do it with v. 3.1.5?
TIA.
