instructions. I will try your suggestions. In the meantime though, after I read, and re-read your previous reply to me several times, I added a link to my localhost index.html page for the user files I was trying to use in the search database. This worked, with no changes to the config file. And yes .htm
If your root document turns out to be an appropriate place for a list of user sites, this is also a valid solution, as you found. You could also create an arbitrary web page somewhere on your site and populate it with a list of sites to be indexed and then finally pass that page to htdig. The key is that you either need to specify the pages to be indexed or specify pages that contain links that eventually lead to the pages to be indexed. If you haven't already done so, you might want to take a look at http://www.htdig.org/FAQ.html#q5.25.
One more question though. Some of the files that I have in my user web pages are .txt extensions. These work with the web browser, but are not indexed in the search. Is this something that can be corrected in
Are these pages linked to from any of the user pages that are being indexed? Again, htdig must either be able to traverse links to find the pages or you must specify them explicitly. If you are trying to index directories of mostly unlinked documents, you might also consider configuring your web server to automatically generate index pages; this is discussed in the FAQ.
