Re: [htdig] db.docdb & db.wordlist

[Gilles Detillieux]

Check the FAQ:  http://www.htdig.org/FAQ.html#q5.16

You don't need to pre-create any of the database files.  They're created
as needed.  The problem is htdig isn't finding anything that it can index.
You need to find out why.  The FAQ should give you a starting point.

Why? A blank db.wordlist is pretty boring. It's just a text file after all.

I wouldn't. Did you see the release notes? 

Did you know that there are RPMs available? 


If you run htdig -v by itself, what does it say?

I'm running 3.1.5. Unfortunatly I'm building the search engine on a server
which was setup and is maintained over in England. Knowing them they
probably installed red hat 6. from source.

Can anybody send me a blank db.docdb & db.wordlist I'll try running it again
if I get these files. If not, I might try get an earlier version of the
search engine.

Cormac.

Re:[htdig] db.docdb & db.wordlist

[Ing. Noel Vargas Baltodano]

What version are you running? Did it come in one of Red Hat's .RPM
packages or did you downloaded them?

I'm using 3.1.5 (I think that's the right version number...), which came
with RH 6.2 Pro. I installed the RPM, modified the config to the server's
homepage (you may add another urls, it's up to you), then ran htdig.

After that, I ran htmerge, and that was it. Had a little problem with
user's accounts, which was promptly fixed (these guys really know their
stuff), but I had no much problem.

Re:[htdig] db.docdb & db.wordlist

[Cormac Robinson]

I've just installed htdig and after running rundig 
I get the following error
 
htmerge: Unable to open word list file 
'/home/httpd/docs/search/test/db/db.wordlist
 
DB" problem ...: 
/home/httpd/docs/search/test/db/db.docdb no such file or directory. 

 
I've created a file in the db directory db.docdb - 
but I then get an error that it is not the correct file format.
Is there an initial startup file I need to run on a 
first run...
As far as I know the server I am running on is a 
redhat linux 6.0
 
Thanks
