This sounds familiar. Firstly at the command line run
htsearch -c c:/htdig/conf/htdig.conf
(Note forward slashes instead of back slashes)
If this works, you will need to call htsearch from a wrapper script that
passes it the location of the config file.
I used this (the file is called htwrap.pl):
#!c:/perl/bin/perl.exe -w
# wrapper script for windows to tell htsearch where its
# configuration file is
# location of htDig config file - note forward slashes
$config = "d:/htdig/htdig/conf/htdig.conf";
$dir = "d:/htdig/cgi-bin"; # Set cgi-bin dir
# Run htsearch
system("$dir/htsearch -c $config");
exit;
1;
Call it from search.html with
<form method="get" action="/cgi-bin/htwrap.pl">
instead of
<form method="post" action="/cgi-bin/htsearch">
(Note it must be called by "get", not "post")
If you manage to get PDFs indexed under windows I'd be very interested.
