Getting searches to work
NOTE: Novice alert .. Novice to both webglimpse and HTML
(No one seems to be posting to users list.. )
Group,
Working with webglimpse-1.7.6 (haven't tried the latest and greatest
yet) Having quite a time getting basic usage to happen.
I tried following the instructions in the docs and was able to get a
few searches to happen. But have done something to botch it up so
that webglimpse is not finding the "archive.cfg" files and gives this
message:
Cannot open configuration file /html-glimpse/archive.cfg
(same message for all three archives I've confarced)
DocumentRoot is /home/httpd/html (running apache-1.3.6-7) that
directory has the "html-glimpse" archive in it. confarc has been run
there and "archive.cfg" generated along with all the other needed
files. (Its been redone with rmarc several times too)
ScriptAlias is /cgi-bin/ pointing to /home/httpd/cgi-bin. Which is
where webglimpse is.
I suspected permissions problems:
ls -l /home/httpd/html/html-glimpse/archive.cfg Shows:
-rw-r--r-- 1 root reader 1275 Nov 20 08:40 archive.cfg
The relevant html from the index.html:
<A NAME="search"><H2>Search HTML help files</H2></A>
<FORM METHOD=get ACTION="/cgi-bin/webglimpse/">
Select the section that you wish to search
<SELECT NAME="pathinfo">
<OPTION VALUE="/html-glimpse">html help files
<OPTION VALUE="/n2m-glimpse">n2m archives
<OPTION VALUE="/webglimpse-docs"> webglimpse-docs
</SELECT>
<P><B>What would you like to search for? </B><INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="query" VALUE="" SIZE=50><BR><INPUT TYPE="submit" NAME="Search" VALUE="Search"><INPUT TYPE="reset" VALUE="Reset"><BR><TABLE><TR><TD><INPUT TYPE="checkbox" NAME="case" VALUE="on">
Can anyone tell what is wrong here?
