rewalk does not index new html pages !

Post by Thunderstone »




Hi,
I have added some html files to a specific directory under the WWWRoot.
(lets call it xyz) My search/indexing db already exists. I ran 'gw' with the
'rewalk' option as follows

gw -rewalk -d- http://www.mysite.com

When the rewalking was complete, i checked the gw.log file. It did not have
any trace of new html files I added before starting the rewalk. Can you please
tell me what am i doing wrong...and whats the correct procedure to include
these files in the indexing DB and eventually pull them up when a search is
made on these files.


Thanx much

Webinator views sites the same way a user would. If the pages aren't
linked in somewhere, they won't be walked. Make sure your new pages
are linked into your site somewhere or that you give gw an additional URL
that does link to them.

Also make sure you haven't excluded them with some of your option settings.
Check the -rewalk options with:
gw -st "select Name,String from options where Profile='lastrun'"
