Building the databases After setting up all the configuration files, you can build the required databases simply by running rundig. This script will run htdig first to build the initial database, then it runs htpurge to clean up the document and word databases that were created by htdig. It then runs htnotify, and finally runs htfuzzy if necessary, to build the endings and synonyms databases if they're missing or outdated. The rundig script can be customized for your specific needs, or you can develop your own script that runs any of these programs. Read the reference sections for each of these programs to get a better understanding of what each one does. The configuration file is:- /etc/htdig/conf/htdig.conf You have to edit this by hand according to your particular installation. Also see ~/htdig-3.2.0b5/htdoc/all.html Note that the databases can get pretty big, and making them is a resource hungry exercise, yet searching the indexes is nice and quick. Allow about the same space for the indeces as the indexed documents. -- Sincerely etc. Christopher Sawtell NB. This PC runs Linux.
