Hi Gilles, well I managed to get the thing working and here's what I ended up doing. If there is anything "wrong" or "dirty hack" with this I'd be interested to know.
* By changing the start URLs to http://localhost/etc/etc/etc/ I got half of the documentation indexed but not the other half. The other half was continually indexed using file://localhost/etc/etc/etc even though it had the same start_url format. * Then I eventually realised that the second half of the indexable docs were in directory "kdelibs-3.0.0" but were referenced by a symbolic link "kdelibs-3". The start url pointed to "kdelibs-3" since I thought that the htdig program would follow the link to the referenced directory. Instead it just use to say "http://localhost/blah/blah/blah/kdelibs-3/ cannot be found" and then went on to index the referenced directory using the "file://localhost/etc/etc/etc/kdelibs-3.0.0/" form - and at the end of the process documents htdig'ed with "file://localhost/" were not searchable cf. those htdig'ed with "http://localhost/"; (tested within KDE). * By making the start URL point directly to the actual directory it worked but in order to open the documents from their links in the htdig search page within KDE I had to configure an apache Named virtual-host "localhost" with "/" as it's webroot - very dirty and very unsafe. I'll need to play around with that I think. * The only way I found (through experimenting) to stop the file:// indexing was to REMOVE the local_urls: http://localhost/=/ directive altogether. Otherwise it kept trying to index the second half with file:// URLs all the time - even when the start URL was pointing towards the actual directory (and not the symbolic link) - is that because the file:// URLs were listed in the doc.index.db? Well at least one of the better features of kdevelop now works! Thanks for your help Gilles and if you have any comments on the solution I'd be happy to hear them.
