I know that a couple of people have e-mailed me to say that they have succeeded with installing htDig on Win2000 Server.
However, I have also had many e-mails from people who have tried it and experienced difficulties and errors... often obscure "permission denied"-type errors. It is not easy for me to respond to these, since I do not have a 2000 server to play with :-( So I can't set up a test system for myself. I also regret that I am sometimes too busy to help. However, I do want to update that "Idiot's guide" (perhaps with a nicer name!) soon, to include some helpful tips that I have picked up from other users along the way. I think I am a little further on in understanding why some of the errors occur. I will send out a request to the htdig list soon, asking for any feedback from other people who have compiled htDig for Win32 systems. Then I will try to find time to write an updated version of the Guide. For what it's worth, I think that htDig has some excellent features (e.g. the results templates) that make it worth the effort. But I'd still rather be running it on Linux... The NT server that I was running it on recently crashed, and NT had to be completely re-installed. Recovering my htDig set-up from that was very painful!

I have been searching for a freeware search engine to install on Windows2000/IIS server for our Intranet. No luck, all the matches I investigated were all the major non-open source ones. We currently have htDig in a SUSE Linux environment on an IBM mainframe; so I search on "HTDIG"; got to your site and liked what I read. Among your FAQs, I found that Jim Kerslake of England has succeeded installing htDig on three Windows platforms: Windows 98 PC, Windows NT 4 Workstation, and Windows NT 4 Server running IIS. Has anyone installed htDig on Windows 2000 running IIS? Could anyone suggest an alternative? Could anyone suggest better search words than varients of "free search engine"? Thank you. _______________________________________________ htdig-general mailing list <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, send a message to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> with a subject of unsubscribe FAQ: http://htdig.sourceforge.net/FAQ.html _______________________________________________ htdig-general mailing list <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, send a message to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> with a subject of unsubscribe FAQ: http://htdig.sourceforge.net/FAQ.html
