/opt/www/htdig/bin/doc2html.pl
/usr/website/pdfs/phoenix.pdf application/pdf
working OK then you are nearly there!
What does the htdig -vvv output show for the
MIME-type of the .pdf files it GETs?
Is it "application/pdf" exactly or
something different? Does it match the MIME-type
in the external_parsers
statement in your config. file? Most
likely there is a mistake
in your config. file, but it could be that your
server is not returning the expected MIME-type.

Subject: RE: [htdig] Deleted, no excerpt
with pdf files
David
I have done a clean re-install and got rid of the perl errors, but the
basic symptoms remain the same.
To recap (with an empty database directory) , running htDig -vvvv lists the
contents of the .pdf in text on the screen, but wordlist.db.work only includes
words from index.html, not from the linked .pdf. Then htMerge presumably has
an URL pointing to the pdf, but no content and rejects it as having 'no
Excerpt'.
Both the tests you suggest produce HTML of the pdf listed on the console,
so I guess they are passed, so 'If that still fails, then you still havn't
configured doc2html.pl correctly' means that I have configured doc2html.pl
correctly?
Can you suggest any other diagnostics I could run to pin it down?
Otherwise next step is a clean install of adifferent distro
Steve,
You must:
Put the full pathname of your Perl binary in
the first line of each of your Perl scripts.
Configure doc2html.pl with the full pathname of
where you have installed pdf2html.pl.
Configure pdf2html.pl with the full pathnames of
where you have installed pdftotext and pdfinfo.
Test pdf2html.pl at the command line:
pdf2html.pl
/usr/website/pdfs/phoenix.pdf
If that works then try doc2html.pl:
/opt/www/htdig/bin/doc2html.pl
/usr/website/pdfs/phoenix.pdf application/pdf
If that still fails, then you still havn't
configured doc2html.pl correctly.
