Richard, I was half way through writing another email to explain where I was at. You nailed the situation down with this one. I had missed the ****in obvious and replaced LINK with DIR - must have stopped thinking for a little. Since then, I had blow it away, and correctly configured it. Now, nightly_htdig from the command line does bitch the first time I run it, but no output the second time. Regardless how many times I run it, I get all files except the db.words.db in the appropriate directory, and the web error descrbed below follows.
