Thanks for your reply:
What you described is exactly what I have...
[/var/www/htdig/conf] root# ls -la
total 24
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Feb 25 23:49 .
drwxr-xr-x 6 root root 4096 May 19 2002 ..
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 33 Feb 25 23:49 htdig-mailman -> /usr/local/mailman/archives/htdig
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 8411 Feb 6 02:36 htdig.conf
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3102 Feb 25 23:48 mailman.conf.tgz
and in the dir pointed to by the symlink...
[/usr/local/mailman/archives/htdig/] root# ls -la
total 8
drwxrwsr-x 2 mailman mailman 4096 Feb 26 01:52 .
drwxrwsr-x 5 mailman mailman 4096 Feb 6 01:47 ..
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root mailman 74 Feb 6 07:33 macvoodoolist.conf -> /usr/local/mailman/archives/private/macvoodoolist/htdig/macvoodoolist.conf
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root mailman 62 Feb 6 02:24 mailman.conf -> /usr/local/mailman/archives/private/mailman/htdig/mailman.conf
On the face of it this looks OK. What I am puzzled by is that the symlinks are owned root:mailman. I would have expected them to be owned by mailman:mailman. Ths links are normally automatically created as mail posted to the list is being dealt with by Mailman and I would expect the process concerned to be running under the mailman uid.
What version of MM are you running? If MM 2.0.x is the qrunner cron job running under the mailman user? If MM 2.1 or 2.1.1 how are you starting mailmanctl?
How did you install htdig and can you confirm that the installation's default CONFIG_DIR is /var/www/htdig/conf?
I'm assuming that either your /usr/local/mailman/Mailman/Defaults.py or mm_cfg.py contains the following line:
HTDIG_MAILMAN_LINK = htdig-mailman
Any other ideas??
Your previous post indicated that nightly_htdig was running OK. I take it that the /usr/local/mailman/archives/private/<listname>/htdig/ directories contain the <listname>.conf files that are the subject of the symlinks. Also that, following nightly_htdig they contain files like this:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/mailman/run/archives/private/rbtest/htdig> ls -l total 20 -rw-rw-r-- 1 mailman mailman 2048 Feb 25 17:45 db.docdb -rw-rw-r-- 1 mailman mailman 2048 Feb 25 17:45 db.docs.index -rw-rw-r-- 1 mailman mailman 128 Feb 25 17:45 db.wordlist -rw-rw-r-- 1 mailman mailman 2048 Feb 25 17:45 db.words.db -rw-rw-rw- 1 mailman mailman 3879 Feb 25 17:38 rbtest.conf -rw-rw-r-- 1 mailman mailman 0 Feb 25 17:45 rundig_last_run
You could try the following and see if it has any beneficial effects:
1. Select one of your lists and run /usr/local/mailman/bin/blowaway_htdig for that list
2. The search form should now be gone from the list's TOC page
3, Send a message to the list
4. The search form should now be back on the list's TOC page. The /usr/local/mailman/archives/private/<listname>/htdig/<listname>.conf file should be back and alone in the dirctory. Also the symlink in /usr/local/mailman/archives/htdig/ should be back.
5. Run nightly_htdig -v <listname> to rebuild the list's search indexes and confirm the script says it is doing so. This should add the extra files to /usr/local/mailman/archives/private/<listname>/htdig/ and update the list's TOC page.
6. Searching should now work.
If it doesn't then let me know.

I'll guess from what you've said that there is a directory called /var/www/htdig/conf which contains a file called htdig.conf as part of your htdig installation. This is the dault directory where htdig expect to find config files and the default htdig.conf file.
If that is so, then you need to create the symlink called htdig-mailman in the /var/www/htdig/conf, pointing at /usr/local/mailman/archives/htdig.
