I suggest you try the following procedure for the two problem list:
run bin/blow_away_htdig for the problem lists with the -c option to rebuild per-list htdig conf files and delete existing per-list search indexes. This should delete the per-list htdig related stuff and remove the search form from those lists' archive TOC pages. It should not affect the HTML archives themselves
send a test message to each of the problem lists. This should ensure the per-list htdig related stuff (with the exception of the search indexes) is fully recreated and the search form is added back to those lists' archive TOC pages
run the nightly_htdig cron script from the command line for the two problem lists. This should rebuild the htdig search indexes
Let me know if this fixes the problem or not.
Were you originally running a version of the htdig integration patch earlier than that installed by htdig-2.1.1-0.2.patch? If so this may be the cause of problems with archived lists created under that earlier regime. The upgrade issue was covered in the INSTALL.htdig-mm file for htdig-2.1.1-0.2.patch or later and I am wondering if you have tripped over this issue.
The major change introduced by htdig-2.1.1-0.2.patch was that htsearch is not called directly by the search forms. For security reason a CGI called mmsearch is called which in turn uses htsearch. This is described in INSTALL.htdig-mm

When I search two lists, I get this error: (Note: htdig is working for other lists just fine, just not *these two* lists...)
htdig Archives Access Failure
The requested list cannot be accessed. list:list.htsearch
If you want to make another attempt to access a list archive then go via the list users information page.
If this problem persists then please e-mail the following information to the mailman@lists.wingfoot.org:
https://www.wingfoot.org/mailman/private/list/ /mailman/mmsearch/listAgain, I run FreeBSD 4.8-STABLE, MM 2.1.2, Postfix 2.0.10, postfix-to-mailman.py (for 2.1), and Apache 1.3.27 w/mod_perl.
I did the following steps:
- check_perms -f (didn't find anything)
- went to /usr/local/mailman/archives/private and did: chown -R mailman:mailman *
- Restarted apache, same error
- did /usr/local/mailman/bin/blow_away_htdig -v list
- posted to list
- did /usr/local/mailman/cron/nightly_htdig -v list
- restarted apache (for good measure), same error
I have a /usr/local/www/cgi-bin/htsearch.. it works for other lists.. :-/
If I just go to the archives and click "Search" on these broken lists, I get:
htdig Archives Access Failure CGI problem. -5-Field count -4- fields: method,format,sort,config

https://www.wingfoot.org/mailman/private/list/ /mailman/mmsearch/listI even found an obscure reference and did the following:
for list in
./list_lists | awk '{print $1}' | grep -v 50; do ./withlist -l -r fix_url $list;doneThat also didn't fix it.. :-/
This is happening in both Mozilla and IE on my system...
Help? *makes offers of chocolate*
Thanks in advance, Glenn
