Congratulations on not encountering the dread DB2 problem, that other
correspondents (myself included) have encountered with htdig compiled with
cygwin. For example:
DB2 problem...: e:/htdig2/common/synonyms.db:
file size not a multiple of the pagesize
Out of mad curiosity has anyone tried compiling with the -mno-cygwin option
to build an exe that uses standard windows dlls instated of cygwin dlls?

On an Apache note - I'm using Apache on windows as an intranet server
whilst htdig sits on a linux machine. I need to serve up the contents of
various network directories via Apache in order for htdig to spider them.
I'm having problems with the configuration/permissions issues with Apache.
Apache runs on my machine. I have administrator privileges on my machine
and Apache runs with my privileges. I have read/write access to the
directories on another (windows NT) network server I an trying access
through Apache.
For example I have the line
Alias /stuff/ "//anotherserver/stuff/"
in my httpd.conf file. When I request http://localhost/stuff/, I get
[error] [client 192.168.0.11] (22)Invalid argument: cannot read directory
for multi: //anotherserver/stuff/
in Apaches error log. I have satisfied myself that Apache understands UNC
paths as the http.conf also contains
Alias /pingu/ "//pingu/web/"
Where pingu is our linux machine. When I request http://localhost/pingu/ I
see the directory listing from pingu as expected.
Can anyone shed any light on this?
