According to David Whited-Ford:

Yes, I understood the "local machine" bit.  It was the "will not run"
bit that I wanted you to elaborate on, which you did...

So htdig seems to hang trying to connect to http://www.servername.com/?
Are you sure you have the correct domain name?  Is the networking set
up correctly on this system, or did something get messed up there after
the restore?  Can you connect to this system using a web browser and
access all the pages you need to index?

Yes, but what files did you restore from backups?  Was it just the
web pages?  The htdig software?  The web server software?  All of
these and/or the entire operating system?  If you suspect permission
problems it would help if you could narrow down where to start looking.
If you had to restore the entire system from backups, there are lots of
potential points of failure - it could be permissions somewhere, or a
configuration file somewhere that wasn't restored.  You need to figure
out what's working and what isn't before you can narrow things down.
