What I mean is, when you go to http://www.htdig.org/FAQ.html#q5.31, the answer to question 5.31 lists 8 fairly common reasons why a configuration attribute setting might seem to be ignored by the program. We've already ruled out #3, as you only have one config file, and nos. 2, 7 and 8 don't apply to exclude_urls in htdig. So, that leaves 1, 3, 4, 5 and 6 as possibilities to explore and rule out. Until you've ruled out all 8 as possible causes of an attribute not being taken as you set it, you haven't exhausted all possibilities. As Geoff pointed out in his reply, your exclude_urls setting below doesn't have the proper backslashes at the end of each but the last line, as the last sentence in point #5 of question 5.31 recommends, so this is a likely possibility to explore. > So, I list, below, what I think you mean as "attributes" from the > htdig.conf file: > > exclude_urls: /cgi-bin/ .cgi > /forum/ > /applets/ > /chat/ > /dig/ > /htdig/ > /poll/ > /random/ > > Would that indicate that I have "exhausted" the attributes or is there > something else I need to do in that regard? This would suggest that you haven't exhausted all possibilities, as point #5 in 5.31 seems to apply here. I never said anything about exhausting the attributes. > OK, next (assuming that "attributes" have been "exhausted") you say > that "we need to get htdig to issue a warning."

This was intended as a note to myself and the other developers, pointing out a need for a code change that seems to have arisen as a result of a change introduced in 3.1.6. The part that was intended for you was to look for db.log in your database directory, and remove it if you want to make htdig restart indexing from scratch. -- Gilles R.
