Re: [htdig] htdig and PDF question

It sounds as though you havn't properly configured doc2html, "UNABLE to =
convert" means it has failed to find a converter for PDF files.  The =
steps include:

        Install xpdf and check that pdftotext and pdfinfo work from the =
command line
        Configure pdf2html.pl to use pdftotext and pdfinfo and check =
that it works from the command line
        Configure doc2html.pl to use pdf2html.pl and check that it works =
from the command line:
                    doc2html.pl filename "application/pdf" url

  Subject: [htdig] htdig and PDF question


  I have htdig installed and it is working great for html file. I am =
trying to get PDF files working.  I downloaded the doc2html files and =
added the external parser statement to the htdig.conf file. When I run =
"rundig" I get a lot of UNABLE to convert messages.  Also htnotify has =
always aborted (even before attempting to index pdf files).

  Here is some of the output from rundig:

  !       UNABLE to convert
  !       UNABLE to convert
  !       UNABLE to convert
  !       UNABLE to convert
  !       UNABLE to convert
  !       UNABLE to convert
  !       UNABLE to convert
  !       UNABLE to convert
  !       UNABLE to convert
  !       UNABLE to convert
  !       UNABLE to convert
  /usr/bin/rundig: line 37:  5354 Segmentation fault      =
$BINDIR/htpurge $opts $alt
  /usr/bin/rundig: line 48:  5355 Aborted                 =
$BINDIR/htnotify $opts
  /usr/bin/rundig: line 81:  5362 Segmentation fault      =
/usr/bin/htfuzzy $verbose metaphone
  /usr/bin/rundig: line 82:  5363 Segmentation fault      =
/usr/bin/htfuzzy $verbose soundex


  I'll attach my htdig.conf file, I didn't modify the doc2html.cfg file. =


  Any advice or documentation you can refer me to would be greatly =
appreciated.
