I made htdig using
./configure --prefix=/www/htnew --with-database-dir=/www/htnew/db
I'm assuming that all of htdig's directories are based on --prefix, so
explicitly setting prefix to /www/htnew should cause ANYTHING that would
otherwise go into /opt/www to go into /www/htnew instead (with conf being
/www/htnew/conf). The only reason I overrode the database dir was to keep it
from ending up in /www/htnew/var/db (where it presumably would have ended up
had I overriden only --prefix).
To test various htsearch config file possibilities, I tried a few
experiments:
*********************************
Experiment 1: -c, with full path and conf filename including extension
Officially, this one should NOT work, because it includes both the path and
extension of the config file, but it's the only one that seems to actually
find it...
/www/htnew/cgi-bin/htsearch -v -c /www/htnew/conf/cni-res-1.conf
"words=sales&format=long"
--------------------------------------------
tempWords: 'sales:0 '
Boolean: 'sales:0 '
initial: ''
Fuzzy on: sales
word=sales prefix_suffix=* prefix_suffix_length=1 minimum_prefix_length=1
searchWords: 'sales:0 '
LogicalWords: sales
Pattern: sales
perform_push @0: sales
WordDB: DB->cursor: method meaningless before open
score: empty list, push 0 @0
term:factor
Content-type: text/html
********************************
Experiment 2: -c with full path, no extension
/www/htnew/cgi-bin/htsearch -v -c /www/htnew/conf/cni-res-1
"words=sales&format=long"
-------------------------------------------

one that should work...

************************************
On a hunch, I ran a second group of experiments, varying only the current
directory (Experiments 1-4 were run with /www/htnew as the current
directory).
The change made a difference only with one scenario: -c specifying the
config file without path, but with extension.
With /www/htnew/conf as the current directory, running
/www/htnew/cgi-bin/htsearch -v -c cni-res-1.conf "words=sales&format=long"
produced the same output as Experiment #1:
-----------------------------------------------
tempWords: 'sales:0 '
Boolean: 'sales:0 '
initial: ''
Fuzzy on: sales
word=sales prefix_suffix=* prefix_suffix_length=1 minimum_prefix_length=1
searchWords: 'sales:0 '
LogicalWords: sales
Pattern: sales
perform_push @0: sales

***********************************
I verified that all of the files in /www/htnew are owned by 'nobody' -- the
user under which the experiments above were conducted.
What do you suggest trying next?
Thanks!
