It means that the search form data were posted to the mmsearch wrapper and then to the mmsearch.py script which in turn set up a 2-way pipe to the htsearch command configured in Defaults.py/mm_cfg.py as HTDIG_HTSEARCH_PATH to actually perform the search, and htsearch terminated normally (exit status = 0) but wrote no output to the pipe. what happens if you run /path/to/htsearch \ -c /path/to/archives/private/kictanet/htdig/kictanet.conf It should prompt for "words" which is your search word, then output a "Content-type: text/html" header followed by an empty line, then prompt for "format" (enter Short or Long), and finally output the html result. -- Mark Sapiro <m...@msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
