No, doesn't look like it.

Anything you like.  You tell swish what you called it when you pass
-c.

    swish-e -c my_own_config.file

In which directory should you place it? That's up to you.

Which dir should you load it from?  The one where it's located.

So if it's in /home/david/swish/conf/

Then you either:

    cd /home/david/swish/conf
    swish-e -c my_own_config.file

or you give swish the full path:

    swish-e /home/david/swish/conf/my_own_config.file

But above you specified /home/otherdocs.  Just specify one.

Last one is the one that will be used.  If you need to spider
multiple sites you have to setup a spider config file.

That won't work for spidering, IIRC.

Ya, you are mixing two different spidering methods.


Take a look at the docs again.  Maybe see if you can follow these
steps first:
