Hi folks, I'm just setting up htdig, and running into a few configuration problems I hope you can help me with.
I have two databases on this ocmputer and may add more later. The first is public and indexes several work websites (I teach at a university); the second is private and indexes some private family-related sites. I'm using the debian sid/unstable packages version 3.2.0b5-f (the -5 is the debian package version). For the public index, I use the default locations for conf files, html templates, and database; in debian these are /etc/htdig, /etc/htdig again, and /var/lib/htdig. I want to be careful to keep the other index private, so I keep the conf files & html templates in /etc/htdig/htdig-local, and the database in /var/lib/htdig-local. As suggested in the docs & various posts on this list, I access the private index using a one-line wrapper script in a password-protected location. Here's the script: #!/bin/sh # for some reason, having trouble passing the COMMON_DIR variable COMMON_DIR=/etc/htdig/htdig-local CONFIG_DIR=/etc/htdig/htdig-local /usr/lib/cgi-bin/htsearch [EMAIL PROTECTED]"$@"} ----- as the comment indicates, the script doesn't work perfectly. Htdig searches the private index, which is great, but it doesn't return results using the modified templates (header.html, footer.html, wrapper.html) that I've put into /etc/htfdig/htdig-local. This is a pain and a little confusing, since I can't tell when I look at the form which index I'm searching. so my main question: is there something wrong with the script and/or my setup, or is this a bug with the debian packages and/or the new beta? I also have a question of secondary importance. my course websites have a fair number of external links. I would love for ht://dig to index the pages linked to, but NOT keep crawling further along the chain of links. That is, when ht://dig sees a link to an external page, it would follow that link, index it, but NOT go any further. Even better would be if those links that wget calls "page-requisite" -- links that need to be loaded in order to view the page properly -- are also indexed. In conjuncion with this, I'd also love it if htdig could, like wget, use mozilla's cookies file to acceass login controlled sites like the new york times. So, is it possible for htdig to do this? Has anyone else tried it? Anyway, thanks loads for the help, Matt ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by The 2004 JavaOne(SM) Conference Learn from the experts at JavaOne(SM), Sun's Worldwide Java Developer Conference, June 28 - July 1 at the Moscone Center in San Francisco, CA REGISTER AND SAVE! http://java.sun.com/javaone/sf Priority Code NWMGYKND _______________________________________________ ht://Dig general mailing list: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ht://Dig FAQ: http://htdig.sourceforge.net/FAQ.html List information (subscribe/unsubscribe, etc.) https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/htdig-general
