Mike, As the documentation for logging says, you have to check your syslogd (system log daemon) configuration (usually /etc/syslog.conf, may vary depending on your system). This will tell you where the system logs are located and whether htdig's messages will be logged. Many syslogd default configurations ignore low-priority "info" messages.
You can configure your syslogd to write separate logs for htdig. On a Solaris 8 system the appropriate lines in syslogd.conf look like this: # htsearch - uses LOG_LOCAL5 facility, LOG_INFO level local5.info /var/adm/apache/log/htsearch_log Plus you'll need a cron job that rotates the logfiles every once in a while. If you're not an administrator on your htdig machine or if this is all Greek to you, contact your sysadmin.

It would be useful to know what folks are looking for. > See <http://www.htdig.org/attrs.html#logging> I inserted this logging: true In the config file: /etc/htdig.conf then ran rundig, but I couldn't figure out where the syslog was. I assumed that I could either cat through the log or tail to watch their progress, but I couldn't find the file where htdig would be storing the data now that I've adjusted the config file... I was also trying to modify the look of htdig to fit the rest of the site. I've modified the header.html & footer html files here /usr/share/htdig/ which is where the original files were. However that doesn't seem to be working, I also tried to customize the common_dir as it was referenced lots of places in the manual, but not actually defined. I put the following: common_dir: /usr/share/htdig/ in the config file as well: /etc/htdig.conf The main references to header.html & footer.html are in: /var/www/html/manual/ which doesn't seem that helpful. In anycase, thanks again for your support with this. Mike ps. the htdig search engine on sourceforge isn't working. http://www.htdig.org/cgi-bin/htsearch?words=asddf&method=and&config=htdig internal server error... -- Mike Gifford, OpenConcept Consulting, http://www.openconcept.ca Supporting progressive organizations in online campaigns and tools.
