Do you mean htdig316-3.1.6-1.rh9.i386.rpm and htdig316-web-3.1.6-1.rh9.i386.rpm, or are you using the "rh72" RPMs on RH 9? If it's the latter, you should use the "rh9" specific ones. > It has been a couple of years since I had any > direct dealing with the program when I did an install on RedHat 7.

The robots.txt file is completely optional. htdig doesn't need it, but like any well behaved indexing engine it will look for it and use it if it's there. As you searched the mailing list archives, you're no doubt aware of the list, which is a better way to get answers than to mail individuals directly. (See http://www.htdig.org/FAQ.html#q1.16) Your problem doesn't sound like it's OS-specific or RPM-specific (I'm using the above 2 RPMs on my own system with no problems), so it should be regarded as a general configuration problem. The FAQ has a few entries that may help... http://www.htdig.org/FAQ.html#q5.25 and http://www.htdig.org/FAQ.html#q5.27 Also, try running htsearch from the command line, rather than a browser, to see if it still can't find any words that you know to be in /var/lib/htdig/db.wordlist. Make sure htsearch is using the same config file as htdig (or rundig), or at least that the two use the same database. If it still doesn't work, it would be useful to know what, if any, output you do get from htsearch. -- Gilles R.
