Hi, this is a new port of ht://Dig 3.15 to win32. Get the source here: http://www.htdig.org I use Apache Webserver 1.3.19-win32-nosrc which you get here: http://httpd.apache.org/ Requirements for ht://Dig to work: (All this needs to be in your PATH) - cygwin1.dll (i used 1.1.8) - cygz.dll (this is zlib, it comes with cygwin) - perl (i used 5.6.1-1 perl for cygwin but it should work with ActiveStates ActivePerl too) - Get latest cygwin here: http://www.cygwin.com/setup.exe - Get ActivePerl here: http://www.activestate.com/Products/ActivePerl/index.html I installed Apache in c:\programme\apache and ht://Dig in c:\programme\htdig Some files of ht://Dig installs in Apache's /htdocs-dir, so it will be difficult to install, if Apache is in a different location. Unpack the package in an empty dir at first and copy all to their recommended location. HTML-docs are included in this distribution, you will find them in: /htdocs/htdig/htdig-doc I didn't include pdftotext, because it didn't work for me with the precompiled binaries for cygwin, which you can get here: http://www.foolabs.com/xpdf/xpdf.html All the other scripts are included, in C:\programme\htdig\contrib\ You will need to modify c:\programme\htdig\conf\htdig.conf to fit your installation. Read the comments inside this file. Bugs and Glitches: ================== (from "Idiot's Guide to installing ht://dig on Win32." by Jim Kerslake, [EMAIL PROTECTED] ftp://ftp.htdig.org/pub/htdig/contrib/guides/Installing_on_Win32.html) - htdig bombs out during indexing, with "no server running" messages: On a fast machine, particularly if you are running htdig to index a site hosted from that same server, it seems as if htdig's rate of page requests can overwhelm the number of available web server processes - i.e. the server gets swamped with htdig's rate of page requests. Try using a local_urls specification in the config file, to point ht://dig at the local HTML files (instead of retrieving them via the web server). The problem disappears if you are indexing lots of big slow external sites at the same time as your local one. - Form input glitch If you have indexed multiple sites [www.abc.com; www.def.com; www.ghi.com] and want to build a form which uses "restrict" to allow searching to be limited to one or all of these sites: <select name="restrict"> <option value="abc.com"> search abc.com <option value="def.com"> search def.com <option value="ghi.com"> search ghi.com <option value="">search the whole lot </select> then I find that the last value, restrict="", gives incorrect buggy results. I don't know whether or not this is NT-specific. I get around it by: <option value="/">search the whole lot Good Luck:-) Contributor: "gph" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Location of this package (htdig-3.15-cygwin-1.1.8.tar.gz) is: ftp://ftp.franken.de/pub/win32/develop/gnuwin32/cygwin/porters/Haase_Gerrit/1.1/ -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] KeyID: 0xC8C9D69A = 57C8 1B1D CFE4 8515 AA3E 4499 A326 0F3C C8C9 D69A _______________________________________________ htdig-general mailing list <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, send a message to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> with a subject of unsubscribe FAQ: http://htdig.sourceforge.net/FAQ.html
