I am the system manager here at Simpson and we using the Webinator product
to index our web site, www.simpson.edu. The gentleman who set this up is no
longer here and we have discovered a problem. Whether this has always been
a problem I don't know.
He set things up so that a cron job runs the following script every night:

-d/usr/local/etc/httpd/htdocs/webinator/db -wipe
-d/usr/local/etc/httpd/htdocs/webinator/db "&/usr/local/etc/httpd/scanlist"
-d/usr/local/etc/httpd/htdocs/webinator/db -index

The problem is that when it run the protections on the indexed files are set
to 600 or rw-0-0. When someone tries a search on our web site they get a
protection error. We can go in and manually set the protections to 644,
rw-r-r, daily but we would prefer not to. Any suggestions?

It appears that our umask is 022 which should result in 644 but it doesn't
seem to.

I'm wanting to index some word docs and am not quite sure how to do it...in
the webinator documentation there is this:

e.g.: ``gw -n"application/pdf,pdf,pdftotx"'' defines a PDF plugin that will
pass documents having extension
``.pdf'' or mime type ``application/pdf'' through the filter program
``pdftotx''.

but I'm not sure what the equivalent would be for word docs. Is pdftotx a
program that would have to be obtained to filter pdfs? If so is there a
equivalent program for word docs or is it something that is fairly common
to have on an apache webserver?

Can the Webinator be called an internal search engine for one particular
site? Can I use it even though I don't own a domain name or I have a free
homepage from www.xoom.com?

I downloaded the webinator, installed and have it running and indexing my
site. I want to customize the search interface, how do i do that?

I've downloaded some of the sample scripts and i can't seem to get them to
run. I get the following error,
Error

002 /usr/ns-home/docs2/encircled/webinator/defsearch: Can't create output
file
/usr/ns-home/docs2/encircled/webinator/defsearch.vtx: Permission denied in
the function writeobj

Any help would be greatly apprecitated.

I am trying to figure out on how to split a data file into pieces, here is
an example:

data1

data2

data3

In perl there is the split command that would split a file into pieces
based on the comments of "End" and "Important info". Is there a way to
retrieve data2 from the file with vortex? Keep in mind the data could vary
from several lines to 1 line. Please help.

Here is the PERL way of doing it:
@result1 = split(//, $file);
@result2 = split(//, $result1[1]);
$finaldata = $result2[0];

How would I accomplish this with vortex?

Thank You,

I installed Webinator and am trying to index my site for testing. When I
try to index, I get this error.

457/11791
100 Max page size exceeded (truncated) for
http://www.tpl.toronto.on.ca/TRL/cent
res/chis/urls99.htm

Your website says Webinator can handle up to 10,000 pages. Our site has
about 1150 pages. Can you tell me why this error is occuring.

Thank you.
