Yes, you can simply move your config and common files to other directories, and change paths like common_dir and database_dir in your config files, without having to reconfigure/recompile/reinstall the ht://Dig binaries. However, the default config file path is compiled-in, so you'll need to specify the alternate config file name using the -c option. This works fine for everything except htsearch, which looks for the config file name specified by the "config" input parameter, in the configuration directory whose path is compiled-in. See http://www.htdig.org/FAQ.html#5.32, http://www.htdig.org/FAQ.html#5.30, and http://www.htdig.org/FAQ.html#4.20 for more details about all this. (4.2 and 4.4 may also have some useful tips for you.) However, based on what you described earlier, it sounds to me like you've already tried two separate installations of ht://Dig, and that htsearch is not using the same database_dir (or perhaps not the same CONFIG_DIR) as the other programs (htdig, htmerge, etc.) It may be that what's happening is that you're still running the htsearch program from your first installation, along with its config file and databases, instead of using the htsearch binary, config file(s) and databases from your second attempt. Try a "locate htsearch" to see if you have more than one htsearch binary. Also, try running htsearch from the command line, as Douglas suggested. If you get different results from htsearch on the command line than you do from the web server, chances are it's a different htsearch binary or a different config file that is being used. -- Gilles R.
