Very. It tells us that you have only one installed htdig.conf file on your system (the other two being under the source directory), and that you're indeed modifying the right one. That rules out one reason why htdig doesn't seem to be taking your exclude_urls setting. I think what Jim was getting at is that having multiple config files can frequently cause problems like this when you're not sure you're editing the right one. Other reasons why htdig might be ignoring an attribute setting are listed in http://www.htdig.org/FAQ.html#q5.31 > On Fri, 11 Oct 2002 01:38:50 > Jim Cole wrote: > >Pub Litics's bits of Thu, 10 Oct 2002 translated to: > > > >>There is a mysql database for the forum, but it is tucked away in the server and >not referenced in the directory structure, except for the file which calls it up. >Under excluded URLs, I had listed /forum.
