Hi,
I just tried configuring htsearch on my website and for some reason it
will not spider my site. (http://www.rsforster.ottawa.on.ca/.
If I include every page in the "start_url" line in the config file it
will index all those pages but will not follow subdirectories.
Also it never works if I specify "http://www.rsforster.ottaw.on.ca/"; as
a start URL. I think this is because my index is called "index.shtml"
and includes SSI stuff. To get around this I created a file called
top.html that has the same urls in it. But it still did not spider the
local urls for me.
I run the following commands after updating the config file:
htdig -i -s
htfuzzy soundex accents synonyms
htmerge
Here is my config file (noticed how I put every top level html file in
the start_url line):
#
# Example config file for ht://Dig.
#
# This configuration file is used by all the programs that make up
ht://Dig.
# Please refer to the attribute reference manual for more details on
what
# can be put into this file. (http://www.htdig.org/confindex.html)
# Note that most attributes have very reasonable default values so you
# really only have to add attributes here if you want to change the
defaults.
#
# What follows are some of the common attributes you might want to
change.
#
#
# Specify where the database files need to go. Make sure that there is
# plenty of free disk space available for the databases. They can get
# pretty big.
#
database_dir: /var/lib/htdig/db
#
# This specifies the URL where the robot (htdig) will start. You can
specify
# multiple URLs here. Just separate them by some whitespace.
# The example here will cause the ht://Dig homepage and related pages to
be
# indexed.
# You could also index all the URLs in a file like so:
# start_url: `${common_dir}/start.url`
#
# start_url: http://www.htdig.org/
# (See end of file for this parameter.)
#
# This attribute limits the scope of the indexing process. The default
is to
# set it to the same as the start_url above. This way only pages that
are on
# the sites specified in the start_url attribute will be indexed and it
will
# reject any URLs that go outside of those sites.
#
# Keep in mind that the value for this attribute is just a list of
string
# patterns. As long as URLs contain at least one of the patterns it will
be
# seen as part of the scope of the index.
#
#limit_urls_to: ${start_url}
#
# If there are particular pages that you definately do NOT want to
index, you
# can use the exclude_urls attribute. The value is a list of string
patterns.
# If a URL matches any of the patterns, it will NOT be indexed. This is
# useful to exclude things like virtual web trees or database accesses.
By
# default, all CGI URLs will be excluded. (Note that the /cgi-bin/
convention
# may not work on your web server. Check the path prefix used on your
web
# server.)
#
exclude_urls: /cgi-bin/ .cgi
#
# Since ht://Dig does not (and cannot) parse every document type, this
# attribute is a list of strings (extensions) that will be ignored
during
# indexing. These are *only* checked at the end of a URL, whereas
# exclude_url patterns are matched anywhere.
#
bad_extensions: .wav .gz .z .sit .au .zip .tar .hqx .exe .com
.gif \
.jpg .jpeg .aiff .class .map .ram .tgz .bin .rpm .mpg
.mov .avi

# The string htdig will send in every request to identify the robot.

# this to your email address.

#
# The excerpts that are displayed in long results rely on stored
information
# in the index databases. The compiled default only stores 512
characters of
# text from each document (this excludes any HTML markup...) If you
plan on
# using the excerpts you probably want to make this larger. The only
concern
# here is that more disk space is going to be needed to store the
additional
# information. Since disk space is cheap (! :-)) you might want to set
this
# to a value so that a large percentage of the documents that you are
going
# to be indexing are stored completely in the database. At SDSU we
found
# that by setting this value to about 50k the index would get 97% of all
# documents completely and only 3% was cut off at 50k. You probably
want to
# experiment with this value.
# Note that if you want to set this value low, you probably want to set
the
# excerpt_show_top attribute to false so that the top excerpt_length
characters
# of the document are always shown.
#
max_head_length: 10000
#
# To limit network connections, ht://Dig will only pull up to a certain
limit
# of bytes. This prevents the indexing from dying because the server
keeps
# sending information. However, several FAQs happen because people have
files
# bigger than the default limit of 100KB. This sets the default a bit
higher.
# (see <http://www.htdig.org/FAQ.html> for more)
#
max_doc_size: 200000
#
# Most people expect some sort of excerpt in results. By default, if the
# search words aren't found in context in the stored excerpt, htsearch
shows
# the text defined in the no_excerpt_text attribute:
# (None of the search words were found in the top of this document.)
# This attribute instead will show the top of the excerpt.
#
no_excerpt_show_top: true
#
# Depending on your needs, you might want to enable some of the fuzzy
search
# algorithms. There are several to choose from and you can use them in
any
# combination you feel comfortable with. Each algorithm will get a
weight
# assigned to it so that in combinations of algorithms, certain
algorithms get
# preference over others. Note that the weights only affect the ranking
of
# the results, not the actual searching.
# The available algorithms are:
# exact
# endings
# metaphone
# prefix
# soundex
# synonyms
# By default only the "exact" algorithm is used with weight 1.
# Note that if you are going to use the endings, metaphone, soundex,
# or synonyms algorithms, you will need to run htfuzzy to generate
# the databases they use.
#
search_algorithm: exact:1 synonyms:0.5 endings:0.1
#
# The following are the templates used in the builtin search results
# The default is to use compiled versions of these files, which produces
# slightly faster results. However, uncommenting these lines makes it
# very easy to change the format of search results.
# See <http://www.htdig.org/hts_templates.html for more details.
#
# template_map: Long long ${common_dir}/long.html \
# Short short ${common_dir}/short.html
# template_name: long
#
# The following are used to change the text for the page index.
# The defaults are just boring text numbers. These images spice
# up the result pages quite a bit. (Feel free to do whatever, though)
