Hmm. This is a stumper. I'm wondering if your ISP didn't implement
some sort of reorganization, or maybe a virtual root directory set up
(i.e. using "chroot"), so that your old paths no longer work.
The backslashes at the end of each line in start.url are not needed,
and I think in this context, unlike directly in the htdig.conf file,
the backslash characters will be taken literally. I don't think that
explains the behaviour you're seeing, though.
At this point, I'd check to make sure your ISP didn't reorganize things.
If they did, you may be able to configure in the explicit paths you
need in your scripts and config files, without reinstalling. However,
if the changes affect your CONFIG_DIR location, especially for htsearch,
then you may need to reinstall and reconfigure from scratch. If your
ISP went with a virtual root setup, that can be particularly tricky
because sometimes the pathnames as seen by a CGI program are different
than those you see from the command line, if the two environments are
implemented with different virtual roots.
