#159 overwriting CONFIG_DIR with multi database

[jean]

hello,

since the new version 3.2.0.16 precompiled in redhat
9,I suppose I cannot overwrite the config directive in
the form :
<input type="hidden" name="config" value="htdig/xxxx">
where the configuration file is /etc/htdig/xxxx.conf

When I launch htsearch for each database nothing
happen except if I use the common file /etc/htdig.conf

netherless thos was working with the previous release

as I would not like recompil the application it will be
nice if you, may be, can show a sample wrapper script
that can overwrite the config_dir in the search.html form

thanks,

I think that this may be the result of a security patch
(made before I joined the project). Try creating a
configuration file (a sym-link if you like) in the *same*
directory as the default directory, and specify the config
attribute without specifying the directory.

Please let me know how you get on -- that is just a hunch!

I apologize for the mistake I did.

In fact the config file can be read but the problem seems to
be with the french dictionnary and the endings dictionnary
This is good with the entire site (/etc/htdig.conf) but I
need to comments the line below to work for each
configuration file

# tir du guide francisation

# language files:
#endings_dictionary: ${common_dir}/francais.0
#endings_affix_file: ${common_dir}/francais.aff
#bad_word_list: ${common_dir}/bad_words.fr
#synonym_dictionary: ${common_dir}/synonyms.fr
# ----- fin de francisation -----

So I go on holidays, may be I will look after when I will be
back

thanks,

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you...

Attributes "endings_dictionary" and "endings_affix_file" are
not used by htsearch -- only by htfuzzy. Does it work if
you un-comment these? What happens if you have only one
line commented out?

What value does common_dir have in the new .conf file?

What happens if you run
htsearch -v "words=yyy;config=xxxx"
?

Thanks for you help in solving this bug,
Lachlan

you can create your own htsearch script by writing a simple
script. The name of the script can also be "htsearch". Place it
under your CGI directory.

The following code is a sample for my environment
(www.wanilla.ch). The script set the CONFIG_DIR and calls
the original htsearch program. My original htsearch is located
under /usr/local/webcontrol/cgi-sys.

#!/bin/sh
CONFIG_DIR=/home/wanillach/htdig/conf/ /usr/local/webcontr
ol/cgi-sys/htsearch ${@+"$@"}

Make the script executable under Unix.

Now put the following HTML-Code in your page.

<INPUT type="hidden" name="config" value="htdig">
