Topic: 5.5 mailman digger problems

[John Lewis]

Running Shad's e-smith-mailman-1.0-5 and related mailman packages on my 5.5 box.  Was running great until a user on one of my lists attached a .pdf file.

Now digger is bombing out: ( killed it here after it took 100% processor for two days...)

/opt/mailman/htdig/bin/digger: line 109: 13246 Killed                  nice /opt/mailman/htdig/bin/htdig -a -c $CFG
PDF::parse: cannot find pdf parser /usr/local/bin/acroread
/opt/mailman/htdig/bin/digger: line 118: 30915 Segmentation fault      nice /opt/mailman/htdig/bin/htfuzzy -c $CFG endings synonyms

Can't find anything anywhere on installing acroread on my box... Is this necessary?  What version of RedHat do I need to go RPM hunting for?

Shad?  Thanks.

Sorry have never seen this problem.  Might try taking the problem to the htdig site/forum.

Thanks Shat, I dig got to htdig.org, looked through their FAQ, and did the following:

edited /opt/mailman/htdig/conf/htdig.conf, and added .pdf to the bad_extensions line, and I increased the max_doc_size as well.

I'll find out if the problem still occur's when someone posts a message to the list...
