RE: [htdig] Unable to contact server-revisisted
The solution has been found. I finally found out that they were stopping and starting the (Apache) server every hour or 2 due to some problems that aren't worth going into here. One interesting question is, why, after the server was restarted, htdig didn't start connecting again? It seemed that once it could not connect, there was no going back. Anyway, the servers have stabilized and now htdig is running fine again.

If you can, then the problem will be to figure out why htdig can't build the connection while other programs on the same system can. If you can't access the server from any client program on the same system, then the problem isn't with htdig, but with your network setup (e.g. firewall, packet filtering, or a bad connection from that system). -- Gilles R.

It seemed that once it could not connect, there was no going back. Previous versions of htdig would keep trying a server for every URL even if it went down in the middle of a run. But of course in almost all cases, this just means that htdig will have to wait until the connection times out for each URL before continuing. Now (i.e. 3.1.5 and the current 3.2 code), htdig will mark the server as dead and stop trying to connect. This is usually what you want to do, though perhaps a config attribute is needed for this. -- -Geoff Hutchison Williams Students Online http://wso.williams.edu/ To unsubscribe from the htdig mailing list, send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] You will receive a message to confirm this.

Re: [htdig] Unable to contact server-revisisted
Is this server in your local network or remote? It might be worth trying to index it via a proxy cache. I found that this cured the problem for us, though it hasn't helped everybody. Take a look at the http_proxy configuration file attribute. -- David Adams Computing Services Southampton University - Original Message - From: "Roger Weiss" [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, January 11, 2001 4:18 PM Subject: [htdig] Unable to contact server-revisisted Hi, I'm running htdig v3.1.5 and my digging seems to be running out of steam after it runs for anywhere from 20 minutes to an hour or so.
