Error running /cgi-bin/webinator: SYSOBJECTS.tbl is missing

Post by Thunderstone »



I've just installed version 1.2 on a Linux ELF box, crawled and indexed
my site, and get the subject error message when I try to run the search
engine. I've checked the following:

- SYSOBJECTS.tbl *does* exist in the server DocumentRoot/.master directory

- /cgi-bin/webinator is SUID to nobody (the Web server user) and the
nobody user owns and has rw perms to DocumentRoot/webinator and everything
below.

Even reinstalled in case something went wrong the first time, but still no
luck. Can't figure out what I have overlooked.

Can anyone shed some light on this?

Thanks,

What do you mean by the "subject error message". Please be specific.
Also, how are you running the search engine?

SYSOBJECTS.tbl is under DocumentRoot/webinator/.master and should occur
in each database (DocumentRoot/webinator/db for the default database).
