After a wait the following is the only message received:-

Pages : 0 Entries
Index : 0 Entries
Keywords : 0 Entries
Temporary Table : 0 Entries
The listed URL shows:
http://www.rafars.org/ irrespective of the entry point.
There is one entry in the MySql database in 'sites'and that is the site URL 'http://www.rafars.org'.
There are no temporary files or changed files anywhere in the PHP_Dig directory structure.
Here are my emotive feelings.
I searched long for a site search engine to take the place of the CGI one I was using.
I found PhpDig, liked the look, liked the highlighting, liked the fact that I could decide which directory/files I could index.
My hopes were dashed as I feel that this program has a basic flaw insomuch as I think it would be OK on a local site but fails when on a site hosted with an ISP.
I also feel the documentation could be improved to help people with worn out grey matter (like me - 65 and white hair - hopefully not past it!) .
I live in hope that someone will prove me wrong, advise me of my errors so I can use PhpDig.
