I have set up htdig v3.1.6 a total of once - on my local machine (Debian 3.0, Apache). Everything went smoothly, and it works great.
Now I would like to set it up twice more - #1, on a Linux/Apache web host with whom I have a shell account and CGI access, and #2, for a non-profit organization who's web site is also hosted on Linux/Apache but without shell access. They do have CGI.
My questions (please forgive if too elemental - I did search through the archives but never found clear answers): in the case of #1, I'm planning to configure, compile, and install on my local machine in the same directory structure as on the remote server; upload the files, modify htdig.conf to suit, and go from there. Is this the right approach?
This approach should work. However you probably want to build with/against static libraries to avoid library conflicts on the destination server.
In the case of #2, I'm guessing I'm hosed from the start, without a shell account. If it's possible to set up htdig under such circumstances, can anyone offer pointers? I think what I may need to do is run htdig on my server, indexing the non-profit's files, and search calls on their site will be to my server.
If the hardware is sufficiently similar, you might be able to get away with building htsearch and the required databases on your server and then moving them to non-profit's site. Again, you would probably be best off going with a static build for htsearch in order to avoid problems with library dependencies. In this scenario, you would always build, update, merge, etc. the databases on your server and then upload them to the non-profit's site.

Thanks for this advice. I'll have to read up on static builds to make sure I understand, but I get the drift of what you're saying. In the #2 scenario, as it happens I maintain the site and so I always have a complete and up-to-date local copy of the site. Sounds like your idea is a worth a try. Appreciate the help .... David
