The path to the directory containing the configuration files is
hard-coded into htsearch. If it can find one of them, then it should be
able to find all of them, assuming of course that the ownership and
permissions are the same for each. You are using just one copy of
htsearch and have all three config files located in the same directory?
Have you double checked the search pages for the other domains to
ensure that the 'config' attributes are set correctly (i.e.
value="client1" and value="client2").
Is there any chance that you have more than one copy of htsearch on the
server, and that a different version is being picked up for the other
domains.?
Those are the only things that I can think of to check at the moment.
The htsearch code is simply trying to read a file with a full name that
includes the compiled in path, plus the search page's 'config'
attribute, plus a '.conf'. If it fails to read the file, either the
path is wrong (e.g. more than one instance of htsearch, misplaced
config file, incorrect 'config' attribute, etc.) or the file is
unreadable (e.g. permission and/or ownership problems).

Though I won't go as far as ruling out an ht://Dig problem, the fact
that things work from the command line implies that the problem is 99%
likely to be due server configuration issues rather than the ht://Dig
code. This is especially true if your are using 3.1.6, which has
received extensive testing. I certainly have no problems using that
version with Apache 2 on the servers that I maintain.
