Hello Alltogether! At the momment I'm trying to set up a documentation-server for my exams-project. I've configured htdig, that it can index regular html-sites, but for a documentation-server it at least must index *.pdf- an *.doc-files. At the moment I'm a bit upset, cause I tried very much. I'm working on a Solaris 8 machine with htdig 3.1.6, Perl 5.1.something. In my htdig.conf I configured the points as listed in the doc2html-DETAILS file:
external_parsers application/rtf->text/html /opt/www/htdig/doc2html.pl \ (...and the other lines for other applications) In the doc2html.pl I wrote the path to my Perl: /usr/bin/perl use strict; I installed catdoc and wrote my $CATDOC = '/usr/local/bin' in the doc2html.pl-file. Even I made the configuration for *.pdf-files and changed the pdf2html.pl-file as said in the DETAILS. I've installes xpdf in /usr/local/bin. When I want to index my files I run htdig - I cannot see any mistake, it just reads some files from my Apache-Server (2.0.47). Then I run htmerge to build the databases and index my files. It starts with sorting... , then there are some lines like "htmerge: Removing doc #10", it starts merging, after that some lines with "htmerge: discarding dokus (or other directory-names) in doc #4". Then it says the url of my server and in the next line: "Deleted, no excerpt: and a link to a file following." It seems that htmerge does not index any *.doc or *.pdf-files, but there are many in these directorys. If I search with htsearch in browser or command line, htsearch cannot find anything - cause there was nothing indexed... I would thank any help, cause for my project it's very important that this works! Best Regards!
