htdig install


How do I get htdig working on Slackware 9.1? htdig, apache, php etc are all installed straight off the Slackware CD.

I'm confused because there are two www directories, one at /var/www and one at /opt/www. Htdig is in the second one, my HTML is in the first.

Can I move htdig to /var/www, or don't I need to?

'man htdig' and 'whereis htdig' both return zero. I've searched here and at linuxpackages.net, but the results returned by both search engines are amazingly irrelevant.

TIA
Michael Hall

Or maybe there is something that eveyone uses besides htdig.

Is there another tool for website indexing and searching that is preferred?

I just started looking at htdig myself...

I did find this HTDig HOWTO...

I dunno about alternatives to htdig, I suppose they exist but they aren't well known if they do. Htdig is pretty good for small sites, intranets, etc.

Anyway, I did eventually sort out htdig on Slackware 9.1. In the long run, maybe I'll rebuild a tgz package that installs htdig into /var/www, but the quick fix basically involved some quick edits to /opt/www/htdig/conf/htdig.conf, then editing /etc/apache/httpd.conf to change the ScriptAlias directive and cgi-bin locations to point to /opt/www/cgi-bin. Or something like that.
