[htdig] Getting Error when trying to run a searching

[Michael \"NightEye\" Aeberhard]

Hey,

I just did the rundig to index my web site.   However, when I try to run the
search frmo my PHP page, nothing ever gets into the $result variable.  Below
I've shown the code I'm using.

In my index.php that does the saerch is:
---

$HTSEARCH_PROG = "/home/sites/site21/web/_search/htdig.sh";
$words = EscapeShellCmd(UrlEncode($search));
$config = "roguespear";
$format = "roguespear";
$query = "config=$config&format=$format&words=$search";

$command="$HTSEARCH_PROG \"$query\"";
exec($command,$result);

$rc = count($result);

if($rc < 2)
{
        title("Search - Error");
        show_error("There was an error executing the search.  Please try again
later.");
}
elseif($result[2] == "NOMATCH")
{
        title("Search - No Matches");
        show_error("There were no matches for <b>" . $search  . "</b> on the web
site.");
}
elseif($result[2] == "SYNTAXERROR")
{
        title("Search - Error");
        show_error("There is a syntax error in your search for
<b>$search</b>:<br><br>" . $result[3] . "</PRE>\n");
}
else
{
*displays matches
}
----

The scripts always goes to the  show_error("There was an error executing the
search.  Please try again later.");


Here is the contents of my rundig.sh that I call up when executing the
search:
---
#!/bin/sh
HTBINDIR=/home/sites/site21/local/htdig/bin
QUERY_STRING="$@"
REQUEST_METHOD=GET
export QUERY_STRING REQUEST_METHOD
$HTBINDIR/htsearch

Here is the contents of my roguespear.conf file:

Anyone have an idea what's going on and why no search results are found?  I
really want to get this thing to work.

Thanks in advance for any help.  Let me know if more information is needed.

Btw, just on a side-not, I follwed this tutorial to get where I am at:

Thanks

Mike
