It sounds to me like your web server may not be correctly configured. I'm not sure what a "page of junk characters" means...do you have a URL we could look at? Are you sure that the web server (which isn't working) has a cgi-bin set up with the server? Are you sure your search.html file points to the right program? If these are two different machines, how did you copy the files from one to the other? It's very important that the programs are copied as BINARY files if you're using FTP. (This is actually my #1 guess of what's wrong.) emma -- Emma Jane Hogbin [[ 416 417 2868 ][ www.xtrinsic.com ]] ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.NET email is sponsored by: SourceForge Enterprise Edition + IBM + LinuxWorld = Something 2 See! http://www.vasoftware.com _______________________________________________ htdig-general mailing list <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, send a message to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> with a subject of unsubscribe FAQ: http://htdig.sourceforge.net/FAQ.html
