Ok, Now I am 3.1.8. The Include command is working fine.. My config file includes the global one and all seems to look fine. Except one point: I index local data: DBAddr mysql://udmsearch:udmsearch@localhost/udmsearch_rfc/ Include /argosnet/system/udmsearch/etc/indexer-7days.conf Alias http://argosnet.argoshome.com/rfc/ file:/argosnet/localdata/rfc/ Server file:/argosnet/localdata/rfc/ As you see, nothing weird. For an unkown reason, the indexer goes to the parent directory. I tried to put in the global configuration file a disallow command, but it failed... Disallow \/\. \/\.\.\/ \/\.\. \.\.\/ Weird, isn't it ? I think it should be a good idea to create a command to restrict indexing (not as disallow/allow) for the directority tree side. Sort of: Staywithin file:/argosnet/localdata/rfc/ In my case, I have multiple disallow with no allow. If I want to solve this using allow, I will have to create an allow for each of my suffix. But suffixes are not trustable facing the Unix 'file' command to determine what is *really* the format of a file. A good point anyway, my script seems to run quite well. Anybody got some hints for me ?
