The first thing I noticed running rundig is that it ignored the exclude URLs. It indexed them, including a very large MySQL db it accessed through /dc/, and then deleted the entries. I then

If values are really on separate lines, you need to add a line continuation character ('\') to the end of the first two lines. For example

exclude_urls:�����������/cgi-bin/ ..cgi \
���������������������� /dc/ .php \
���������������������� /phpmyadmin/ .php

Without the continuation characters, the second two lines will not be added to exclude_urls.

tired to use the search.html form in my browser, but when I pressed the button I got a 'The page cannot be displayed' error. See it at www.volvoclub.org.uk/htdig/search.html

I get a "Method Not Allowed" page. It appears that your server is not configured to handle POST requests. The first step is probably to change the method to GET. However it also appears that your server is either not configured to handle CGI programs in the directory you are using or the file is failing to meet some other server requirement (e.g. filename extension). If accessed with a GET request, htsearch is being treated as a normal page and the server is returning the raw bytes from the executable. Do you have any other CGI programs in the directory you are using for htsearch? If so, do they follow any sort of common naming convention? Perhaps you need a .cgi or .pl extension.
