I have got version 3.1.6 here (standard on Debian).

It could be that there is a change in htdig that means that the older
configuration files do not work with the newer version of htdig.

Does anybody else use htdig OK with WWWOFFLE and what version of htdig
is it?

I can't see why the links would not be followed.  I can only imagine
that the problem is with the configuration file.

Does your page http://localhost:8080/search/start4.html contain a link
to http://localhost:8080/search/index/ ?

You should get something back for other searches, not just a blank page.

Perhaps your version of htdig is configured incorrectly.

Try running (using the appropriate path to the WWWOFFLE cache which I
took from you config files you sent):

htsearch -c /home/var/wwwoffle/search/htdig/conf/htsearch.conf

and then enter the search words and press return when it asks for the
format.  You should get back the HTML page that the browser would
return.

You might also like to try:

env CONFIG_DIR=/home/var/wwwoffle/search/htdig/conf htsearch

In both cases you might need to replace htsearch with the full path to
the installed htsearch executable.

You can also try running

/home/var/wwwoffle/search/htdig/scripts/wwwoffle-htsearch

which uses the WWWOFFLE wrapper script.

The htdig configuration files are updated when they are installed to
have the wwwoffle spool directory set correctly.
