Excite Search Engine for Web Servers

Post by Samuel La » Tue, 01 Dec 1998 04:00:00



I'm having a problem with the E* Search Engine.  Apparently, when I
try to index a collection, I get the following error:

/usr/local/apache/architext/*.tmp???: No such file or directory

I read that this could be a permissions problem, but I haven't found
anything wrong with my setup (permissions-wise).  I've also set this
directory to be executable in the srm.conf file.  My only other guess
would be that I can't have a ScriptAlias directory that isn't under my
document root?  I'm running Apache 1.3.3 on a Solaris 2.6.  Any help
would be greatly appreciated.

I think this is when the script tries to clear up the temporary files
(which may or may not be there) and used "rm" instead of "rm -f". I get
it too on HP-UX - it's poor coding by E* (no shock there - EWS 1.1
has never worked on HP-UX - the indexer core dumps !).

1. Adding Excite Web Search to CERN server with FrontPage extensions?

I currently have a CERN 3.0 server running on a Solaris 2.5 machine.  It
has the FrontPage 1.1 extensions added and they work.  I am trying to get
the free Excite Web Search engine added and am having some trouble as
follows.

The Excite install runs fine.  Whenever I run the AT-admin.cgi admin
script, the script runs fine at first.  This script then calls itself again
after you've entered your password, and this is where it fails with

"Error 403
Forbidden - access to file is never allowed [no ACL file] ".  

I've found that the problem is coming from the httpd.conf file's line that
reads

protect /* /nj/adm4/http/web/_vti_pvt/service.stp

which FrontPage needs to run correctly.  If I remove that line and restart
the server, Excite works fine and FrontPage doesn't.  I've tested other CGI
scripts, and they are also failing when the protect line is in.  Maybe
there's something really basic I'm overlooking here...anyone know?  Here is
what that "service.stp" file looks like:

AuthType Basic
ServerId lava
PasswordFile /nj/adm4/http/web/_vti_pvt/service.pwd
GroupFile /nj/adm4/http/web/_vti_pvt/service.grp
AclOverride enabled

where service.pwd only has "root" and its password and service.grp is:

administrators: root
authors: no-one

Has anyone done this, or possibly have a suggestion for another basic index
engine?  All I want to do is provide fast access for a knowledgebase of
files.  Excite does the trick, but it's just not fitting into the current
configuration.
