Server 2003 Adding Extension

Post by mcewenk »

I need some help with ISS 6. I have Webinator version 2.1 and it works great. Now I have installed it on Server 2003 and I am unable to get the index to run. Everything is installed correctly. I run the cmd file and it gets to "E:\is800\Inetpub\wwwroot\webinator\bin>gw -d- -mintranet.set http://website.domain.org" and does no further. I have waited at least 30 minutes.

Any suggestions on how to add an application extension into IIS would be greatly appreciated.

The page timeout of 30 seconds should kick in. Is there any activity in the database directory? Try with -v9 to get more output.

gw -v9 -d- -mintranet.set http://website.domain.org

Make sure the machine where gw is installed is allowing outbound http connections (port 80). Firewall rules may prevent it.

The machine I am running it on is open on port 80. This is what was produced by adding the option you suggested.

Option: "-d-"
Option: "-v9"
Option: "-d-"
Option: "-mintranet.set"
Option: "-xhttp://intranet.flcourts.org/webinator/"
175 Table hosts not found in data dictionary
115 No such table: hosts
000 SQLExecute() failed with -1
Option: "-napplication/pdf,pdf,pdftotx"
Option: "-z50000000"

I have added the texis.exe into the server extension and made sure the cgi-bin and webinator directories have scripts and exec enabled and write permissions.

I meant outbound http, can that machine get out to http servers. None of the cgi settings etc are relevant to running a walk with gw, only for the subsequent search of the walked data. -v9 didn't show anything helpful in this case.

With a browser running on the same machine where gw is try to access the same url you're giving to gw.

You might want to try the web based walk and admin instead of gw.

I am access http servers from this server.

I can access the url I specificed from gw to walk. (added to the trusted sites list)

I do not have a license for v5, just v2. I looked at the link above and do not see the dowalk admin script under the webniator directory. Is the admin apart of v2?

dowalk appeared in version 4. I thought maybe you were installing a new version on the new server, sorry.

In the same directory as gw you should find geturl. Try
geturl http://website.domain.org
to see if it can get the page.

E:\is800\Inetpub\wwwroot isn't on a network drive is it?

It doesn't look like it is getting there. See below. That can't be good. The e: is local.


E:\is800\Inetpub\wwwroot\webinator\bin>geturl intranet.flcourts.org
HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request
Content-Type: text/html
Date: Wed, 05 Jan 2005 17:57:05 GMT
Connection: close
Content-Length: 39

<h1>Bad Request (Invalid Hostname)</h1>
E:\is800\Inetpub\wwwroot\webinator\bin>

Rats, your server requires the HOST header. gw 2 sends one, but that old geturl doesn't so it's not a valid test.

Can you check the webserver's logs to see if gw ever hits it when you try to walk and if there are any errors?

What options are in intranet.set?
What do you get if you
gw -d- -st "select Url from html"

Which logs shoudl I look at the IIS logs or the system logs?

The Intranet.set file is
#
# Command options for walking intranet.flcourts.org
#
#
# exclude these trees
xhttp://intranet.flcourts.org/webinator/

# handle PDF files with the PDF plugin
napplication/pdf,pdf,pdftotx

# allow big files so PDF doesn't get truncated
z50000000

# schedule rewalk every night (syntax below is correct)
#rewalk=every 12am


When I run the command you suggest I get:
Sorry, you'll have to purchase Texis in order to perform that operation
See: http://www.thunderstone.com/webinator/ for details.

This is a fully licensed copy and installation, so I am not sure what it is telling me that.
