Search Died!?
Everything has been running fine (untouched) for well over a year and out of the blue I am getting e-mails from people that the "Search" and "Advanced Search" are not working. I have tryed it and if you search for anything you get the well detailed.. "500 Internal Server Error". Like that error helps much).

I logged in FTP and the chmod is still correct (755) on all my perl files, search included.

When testing everything else, new sites, kewl sites, random site, etc.. all seems to be working.. The categories work fine. I can submit and validate a site and it will show up in the categories but can not be searched. Any ideas?

Thanx in advance.
Rick

After looking alot closer I found that somehow my "keyword.log" had lost is chmod and it was causing the problem when you did a search, but I am sure someone would have figured it out and helped me if I hadn't found what I was looking for. So thanx anyways,

Rick
