RE: [htdig] Hi, need help with searching database.
I didn't try this out but the problem got fixed when I ran rundig in verbose mode based. In fact problem was with the .htaccess in my server root. I think I should have checked that before bothering the list. -Original Message- From: Geoff Hutchison [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, December 15, 2000 10:10 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [htdig] Hi, need help with searching database.

[htdig] Hi, need help with searching database.
Hi Everyone, I'll need help with htdig. I just installed Redhat7.0 on my machine. And then installed htdig rpm. I can see the page http://myhost/htdig/ which is the search page. I make a search and for any search I make, it returns a page saying "No matches found for ... " Now, I ran rundig and it increased the file sizes in /var/lib/htdig. So, I presume the database was created. And then I ran htmerge. But I still get the "No matches found .." page. What am i missing? Any help will be appreciated.
