Thanks for the tips..

I'm using version 3.1.6.  I have cleared the db directory.  While I did
start out using rundig, I have been using htdig too while trying to figure
this out.  I went into the config file and made sure there was newline at
the end.

Still getting no output whatsoever from htdig -i -vvv.  Very perplexing.  I
talked to my associate, all he did was add a bunch of pdfs.  Mind you, I had
it indexing pdfs without any problem before.  And even if there were a
problem with the pdfs, I should be getting debug messages.

Thanks for your suggestions.  If you have any more I'd love to hear them.

rundig is a shell script and doesn't do well with combined options,
especially the -a and -s which it tries to intercept.  You may want to
try rundig -a -vvv.

In addition to the tips Jim provided (clearing out the database directory,
checking the config file or reverting to the original), I'd also suggest
making sure you have a final newline character on the last line of the file.
With the config parser in 3.2 betas, we've noticed a number of problems if
this final newline is left out.  (You didn't mention which version you're
running.)

If all else fails, try adding more -v's, and if you still don't get any
usable output, let us know which version you're running, and on which
platform (hardware, OS distribution and version).  You may also want to
try reinstalling from source if it's an old installation.
