Hello all,
I'm setting up a server that will provide web hosting service to multiple
people and would like to offer ht://Dig as the search engine.
At present, my biggest problem is with using custom config files for
htsearch. Each user will have their own ht://Dig config file, database and
copy of htsearch in their cgi-bin directory. htsearch will accept the name
of the config file, but not the location. My plan is to pass a username in
on the "config" HTML form variable (instead of the config file name). That
way, htsearch would always find the config file at
"/home/USERNAME/htdig/htdig.conf". Does anybody have a patch to do this?
I've been playing with the source, but haven't been able to quite get it to
work. Here's what I've done:
(htsearch.cc: the config file stuff starts around line 125)
config.Defaults(&defaults[0]);
// To allow . in filename while still being 'secure',
// e.g. htdig-f.q.d.n.conf
if (!override_config && input.exists("config")
&& (strstr(input["config"], "./") == NULL))
{
// *** commented this line
// char *configDir = getenv("CONFIG_DIR");
// *** changes follow
char *configDir;
configDir = strcat("home/", input["config"]);
configDir = strcat(configDir, "/htdig/htdig");
// *** end changes
if (configDir)
{
configFile = configDir;
}
else
{
configFile = CONFIG_DIR;
}
if (strlen(input["config"]) == 0)
configFile = DEFAULT_CONFIG_FILE;
else
// *** this line changed too
configFile << '/' << configDir << ".conf";
}
if (access(configFile, R_OK) < 0)
{
reportError(form("Unable to read configuration file '%s'",
configFile.get()));
}
config.Read(configFile);
This seems to work from the command-line, but gives an error when running
under Apache (Premature end of script headers).
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
thanks,
-dougl
