Pub Litics's bits of Fri, 11 Oct 2002 translated to: >Hi. I did just as instructed. Replaced what was in htdig.conf with the following: > >exclude_urls: /cgi-bin/ .cgi \ > /forum/ \ > /applets/ \ > /chat/ \ > /dig/ \ > /htdig/ \ > /poll/ \ > /random/
This looks correct. To rule out the possibility of hidden characters mucking up the attribute definition, you might try placing all of the items on a single line and getting rid of the backslashes. For example exclude_urls: /cgi-bin/ .cgi /forum/ /applets/ ... You will of course need to reindex after making the change. >Am I doing something wrong? Did I fail to follow instructions properly? It looks like you are doing the right thing. Unless there are some hidden characters corrupting the config file, the entry you show above should be preventing the URLs that include /forum/ from slipping through. You might try viewing the config file with cat -v to check for any unexpected non-printing characters (e.g. cat -v htdig.conf). >As for the question, "Do you interrupt?" I (once again) am not sure if you Interrupting in this case means in some way stopping the dig before it completes, for example with a ^C or an explicit kill command. I think you ruled out this being the problem when you failed to find a db.log file in the database directory. Have you checked your database directory (I believe you said it was /dig/htdig-3.1.5/db/db) to see if the timestamps on the database files reflect a recent change after rundig completes? For example, an ls -l should show dates/times for db.docdb, db.docs.index, and db.words.db that are close to the time that rundig completed. If this is not the case, then something is most likely preventing the files from being updated properly.
