No, you should only put htsearch in cgi-bin. The other programs can go wherever works for you, but usually somewhere in your PATH is the most convenient place for them. Some scripts may need to be customised if you move htdig, htmerge, htfuzzy, htnotify or others, if these scripts refer to the pathname of the directory where they were originally to be installed. The rundig script is one such script that you many need to customise. The tricky part is if you move your htsearch configuration file(s) to a different directory than you specified when you originally configured the software, because this directory name is compiled into the htsearch program, so if you move the directory htsearch won't find its config files. > and one more question: here is a set of test urls i put in my htdig conf: > > start_url: http://slis-two.lis.fsu.edu/~G634-23/LIS5364/ > http://slis-two.lis.fsu.edu/~G634-1/ip1.htm > http://slis-two.lis.fsu.edu/~G634-1/ip2.htm > http://slis-two.lis.fsu.edu/~G634-1/ip3.htm > http://slis-two.lis.fsu.edu/~G634-1/tp1.htm > > (it may not come out right in email but each url is separated by 4 > spaces, the last one has 3 spaces) when i added these and ran my test > search (http://slis-two.lis.fsu.edu/~G634-23/test.html) i had to go > back and run ./rundig again to get it to pickup the 2nd and 3rd urls > -it doesn't get the last two at all... when i searched for the word > "information". > > why do i haceve to run rundig again and again and it still doesn't > get all urls? i am soon going to put 50!!!!! There are two different ways of interpreting your question. 1) You're expecting the database to automatically pick up any new URLs in start_url without having to run rundig again, or run htdig and htpurge. 2) You are running rundig again after adding URLs to start_url, and the database is still not picking up the new URLs. If it's the first case, you don't understand how the system works. The htsearch program doesn't update the databases, it only reads them, so whenever you change a config attribute that affects what goes into the database, you need to rebuild or at least update the database, with the htdig program. The rundig script runs htdig with the -i option, to rebuild from scratch, and then runs htpurge to clean up unused entries. You can update the database instead of rebuilding from scratch, by running htdig (without -i) and htpurge separately. You will need to do this from time to time to make sure your database picks up any updates to the web sites as well. This is usually done via a shell script run from your crontab. (See "man crontab" on your system.) If the second point above is what you mean, then you need to find out why htdig isn't indexing everything.

Well, if you can index one site and search it, then obviously it works. There's nothing in htdig to prevent it from also working on 50 or more sites, so it should work. The only way to know for sure is to try it, and run it in debugging mode (with -v options) if it doesn't work the way you think it should. Of course, it helps to have a correct idea of how you think it should work, and that's where reading the documentation comes in. -- Gilles R.
