I have downloaded and installed webinator. I told it to retrieve and then
index a site. It seemed to behave. Gave me nice messages about what
database I wanted to write to and how it was collecting data.
Then I tried to perform a search via the url provided in the docs:
http://iceman.filez.com/cgi-bin/texis/webinator/search/
At which time I get an error:
------------------------------------------------------------------
Texis Web Script (Vortex) Copyright =A9 1996-1997 Thunderstone - EPI, Inc.
Free Webinator Version 2.1.874100396 of Sep 12, 1997
Error
000 /usr/local/www/data/webinator/search:96: Could not connect to
/usr/local/www/data/webinator/db in the function openntexis
------------------------------------------------------------------
I tried to be a good net citizen and do my homework and I found one entry
in the archives related to openntexis and is said to check your file
ownerships. So I did and everything seems to be set to root:
1236 root 10 0 488K 580K nanslp 0:00 0.00% 0.00% httpd
^^^^^^
'search' and the 'db' directory are owned by root:

And everything in 'db' is owned by root. (It wasn't at first it was owned
by 'Michael" but I changed it to root to be consistent.)

So I don't know what's wrong. Any help from the experts?
