I believe I am running it from the command line... I use:

/usr/bin/swish-e -S http -c /etc/swish-e.conf

My configuration file looks like this:

--------------------

IndexDir http://10.137.229.3/index.html
IndexFile /home/httpd/html/oic-search/oic-index1
IndexName "OIC index"
IndexDescription "The OIC website index."
IndexPointer "http://www.imperialclub.com"
IndexAdmin "Sysadmin, (sysadmin@dte.net)"
MetaNames keywords test
IndexReport 3
FollowSymLinks yes
UseStemming yes
IgnoreTotalWordCountWhenRanking yes
MinWordLimit 2
MaxWordLimit 25
WordCharacters abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz\&#;0123456789.@|,-'"[](~!@$%^{}_+?
BeginCharacters abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz\&#;0123456789.@|,-'"[](~!@$%^{}_+?
EndCharacters abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz\&#;0123456789.@|,-'"[](~!@$%^{}_+?
IgnoreLimit 50 1000
IndexComments 0
MaxDepth 0

TmpDir /var/tmp
SpiderDirectory /home/httpd

------------------

The only thing I can't really figure out is what the 'MetaNames' is for. It
seems like I don't need it, but the docs say the line must be there.

I would think that just being an .html file would make it recognize it as such,
am I wrong? I have read the archives and found nothing. The really hard part is
since I'm not getting any errors, I don't know what else to try. :(

Thanks for your thoughts,
