problem in installing

[Thunderstone]

Hi, i have encountered a small problem while installing webinator
on my Apache linux 4.2 system. The error msg is like the following:


Creating initial empty database
000 Can't get address for host `/home/www/httpd/html': Unknown error
200 Using existing database
200 Using existing SYSOBJECTS

what could be the problem here? Thank you for your support.

You apparently supplied a directory name instead of a url to walk.
Webinator walks web sites, not directory trees. Supply the url of
the first page to walk, not the directory.

If you want to get rid of the error message, wipe the database with -wipe
and start over.

Hi, i am not getting that error anymore, but I didn't get any
result from the quaries i made from webinator. Following msg was
displayed from indexing my site. Do you see any problem here?

[root@pc151 webinator]# /home/www/httpd/html/webinator/bin/gw

No database specified. Use the default (/home/www/httpd/html/webinator/db)?

That is because there's absolutely nothing on that page to index.
The only thing on the page is an blank image map that points to
yet another cgi page that contains no information.

Please read the manual. Webinator does not walk the cgi-bin path
by default, you must override this with a command line option.

Even then, some actual content on the site would really help.
