Description Stijn Jonker 2003-07-09 20:15:59 UTC 
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.2.1; MultiZilla
v1.4.0.3J) Gecko/20030225

Description of problem:
Although i compiled htdig from the source RPM with slightly diffrent paths. 

I quickly confirmed is with the "official" raw hide version also.

When entering an search string with () in there it hangs short list:
String =  result
"()"=hang, "("=hang, ")"=hang, "() a"=ok, "()a"=ok, "a ()"=hang, "a()"=hang, "a
)"=hang, "a)"=hang, "a("=hang, "a)"=hang, "( a"=ok,
"( a )"=hang,"a ("=hang

P.s. off course enter them without the quotes.

I'll include an logfile of strace -f -F -o <file> htsearch -c
/var/http/search/new.conf

Where <file> will be htsearch-hang.txt & htsearch-ok.txt

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
htdig-3.2.0-19.20030601

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start htsearch, either on command line, or through webform
2. enter ()
3. hangs.
    

Actual Results:  Hangs, waited 5 minutes for it. classified as hang. ;-)

Expected Results:  Returned search result or syntax error, or not found.

Additional info: Maybe security related?

Might offcourse also apply to RH9, my actual platform.

This is where it goes wrong.

You see as the last entry the line in regards to bad_words. But this exact
issues happens at the correct run also. The input i gave here was "()". 

I guess last time i didn't wait the full 5 minutes, because this time it was
killed by the alarm signal.

Correct run

This is a normal search. it works fine.
Comment 4 Phil Knirsch 2003-09-02 14:06:48 UTC 
Thats because the common_dir has changed to /usr/share/htdig from
/var/www/html/htdig.

You can either set thae common_dir in the htdig.conf yourself or create a
symlink from /usrH/share/htdig to /var/www/html/htdig.

It's fixed in the latest enterprise version.

Read ya, Phil

This might fix the empty page, but it doesn't fix the hang here. Is there a way
i can test the enterprise version of htdig, as i'm on RH 9.0.
Comment 6 Phil Knirsch 2003-09-02 14:20:04 UTC 
I'll put the srpm on

  http://people.redhat.com/pknirsch

from which a simple rebuild should do the job.

I've tested your examples which hung for you an they worked fine on my latest
package for the enterprise version.

Read ya, Phil
