For complete documentation on configuring and running ht://Dig, point to
the file /usr/doc/htdig-3.1.2/index.php3 with
your Web browser or refer to the ht://Dig Web page at http://www.htdig.org.
Please Note: ht://Dig does not currently have the ability to connect to a secure
Web server. If you want to use ht://Dig, you'll have to use it with
the non-secure Web server which was provided as part of your secure
Web server's default configuration.
To get started with ht://Dig, edit the
/etc/htdig.conf file as follows:
Change the line that begins with:
start_url: http://htdig.sdsu.edu/
|
so that it names your domain instead of
htdig.sdsu.edu.
Save the htdig.conf file. You may wish to read
through this file and make any other changes you think are
appropriate, but this is the only required change.
Type the following command to set up your search database:
rundig is in /usr/bin, which
should be in your path.
Now point your browser to http://your_domain/htdig/search.php3 to
search your Web site.
You may also want to customize the following files to display
information specific to your site:
- /home/httpd/htdig/search.php3
This is the page that you will need to link to for searching
your site. You may wish to make this file a symlink to
index.php3 in the same directory, so that
the URL http://your_domain/htdig/ works.
- /var/lib/htdig/header.php3
This page will be displayed at the top of any search results.
- /var/lib/htdig/footer.php3
This page will be displayed at the bottom of any search
results.
- /var/lib/htdig/nomatch.php3
This page will be displayed when no search results have been
found.
- /var/lib/htdig/syntax.php3
This page will be displayed when a syntax error has occurred
in a boolean expression.
If your site changes often, you'll need to set up
htdig and htmerge to run
automatically using cron. See your system
documentation for more information on cron.
