CGISearch is a unique CGI Executable , you have to edit a few files before you
can use this script , first of all this script is expected to run in the cgi-bin but I
recommend the htdocs since Abyss supports pattern matching.
Step One:
Unzip cgisrch.zip in your htdocs to a folder called search then edit search.htm
and change "/cgi-bin/cgisrch.exe" to "cgisrch.exe" but your not done yet. You
have one last file to edit before you can configure Abyss Web Server.
Step Two:
Edit the config.txt file and change it to your desired settings , only html files
will be searched unless you add new extensions to the list to search. Here's
an example of settings you will have to put in order for it to work.
Config.txt file [search/srchdata]
BASEURL
http://your-site/
FILESPEC .htm
FILESPEC .html
SEARCHPATH C:/Program Files/Abyss Web Server/htdocs/
SKIPLIST skiplist.txt
EXCLUDEPATH \cgi-bin\
EXCLUDEPATH \errors\
Step Three:
After you edit those 2 files we will now configure Abyss Web Server to run the
CGI Search script , open your Abyss console and click on Configure button for
the host you would like to edit and then click on Scripting Parameters.
Add a Script path for /search/srchcgi.exe and then restart.
Note: Rename search.htm to index.html so you can have a really nice path
such as
http://www.your-site.com/search/ , see Abyss does alot of stuff. :-)
