Hello,

I installed windows binary version of swish-e 2.4.1 in C:\Programme\SWISH-E
on W2k with IIS 5.0 in order to index intranet web sites served by IIS and
make them searchable.

I followed
http://www.swish-e.org/current/docs/INSTALL.html#GENERAL_CONFIGURATION_AND_U
SAGE

It works without problems accept that some pathes have to be absolute in cgi
script.

My intranet web site http://localhost resides at C:\home\mydir
There I put subdirectory swish containing:

15.01.2004  11:32                  190 .swishcgi.conf
15.01.2004  11:25              402.630 index.swish-e
15.01.2004  11:25                   74 index.swish-e.prop
15.01.2004  12:01              111.740 swish.cgi
15.01.2004  10:09                  185 swish.conf

Now calling http://localhost/swish/swish.cgi

First error message had been:

Can't locate SWISH/ParseQuery.pm in @INC (@INC contains:
C:\Programme\SWISH-E\lib\swish-e\perl C:/Perl/lib C:/Perl/site/lib .) at
C:\home\mydir\swish\swish.cgi line 964.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at C:\home\mydir\swish\swish.cgi line 964.

Although beeing no perl professional I just added this line:

use lib qw( C:\Programme\SWISH-E\share\doc\swish-e\example\modules );

quite at top of swish.cgi and it was fixed.

After doing a search with web form provided by search.cgi second error
message had been:

Index file error: Could not open the index file 'index.swish-e'

I just replaced this line

my $DEFAULT_CONFIG_FILE = '.swishcgi.conf';

with this one:

my $DEFAULT_CONFIG_FILE = 'C:\home\mydir\swish\.swishcgi.conf';

and it works.


Hope it is help for the impatient.
