Greetings,
Thanks for the fine work in creating ht://Dig and the rpm version.
I spent the majority of this weekend trying to figure out what ht://Dig
wouldn't work properly under RedHat 6.2. I 'think' I finally figured out the
apparently the rest of the world must install Apache under /opt/www/,
whereas an Apache rpm places it to run under /home/httpd.
While reading the FAQ and various postings I found reference to an rpm.
I deleted all traces (I hope) of the various tarballs I had compiled, and
installed the rpm. I noticed the following:
every time I run rundig, it changes the permission of two subdirectories
files to 600 and everything else, with no other user or group type of
access. I would change the perms to the 644 and once again searches would
run.
The two directories affected are:
/var/lib/htdig/common/
I get this error:
/var/lib/htdig/common/word2root.db (and once I change the perm on the
/var/lib/htdig/db/
I changed all the files under /var/lib/htdig/db/
to 644
and change
/var/lib/htdig/common/word2root to 600, and that seems to fix it. (Until the
nest time I run rundig.
I noticed a difference between rundig with the rpm and the tarball.
With the tarball, I could just enter rundig, and it would see in the conf
file where I have given it an external url, and it would index that url.
With the rpm version nothing I do short of deleting the db files seems to
cause the database to be remade from scratch.
I said at the beginning I was a newbie. Please forgive the stupidity of
these question if they are indeed dumb. I am still trying to find answers in
the voluminous documentation that applies to my exact situation.
The rpm used was:
htdig-3.1.5-0glibc21.i386.rpm.
RedHat 6.2 with about 99% of everything installed on a test system,
including every rpm from the RedHat errata, update site as of Thursday last
week., hardened with Bastille Linux beta 1.20 rc3.
