IIS4 on NT server indexing

Post by Thunderstone »




Webinator views a site the same way a user would, so if a page is not
linked in it will not see it. To get it into the database you need to
specify it specifically to gw. Also, Webinator will not execute java
programs.


You've installed into the wrong directory. You are supposed to install to
a directory that has CGI execution enabled in the webserver. Not just any
old directory called "cgi-bin". Check your webserver's config to find
if/where you have a CGI directory already or enable c:\intranet\cgi-bin
for CGI.

IIS4 on NT server indexing

Post by Thunderstone »



I indexed my intranet using (gw http://10.1.5.200/intranet/test.htm) where
test.htm has all the html linked files, and everything went fine. I was able
to get the newsearch form to appear now when I do a search i get this error
/webinator/newsearch:422: query "lerner' would require linear search. NO
document match the query
any ideas?

Novell 4.11 Server where the htm and html files are keep (i:\data\intranet).
When browsing my web site via explorer I point it at
http://10.1.5.200/intranet/index.htm (INTRANET is > mapped to
I:\DATA\INTRANET on the Novell Server and 10.1.5.200 is IP of the NT server
running web server which also has webinator installed on it). My index page
has three frames on it andwhch one of the frames has a java tree that loads
its information> from a text file (attached file). The problem is not all
my pages are linked from the index page.
INTRANET and its sub-directories. Not all the htm files are linked, some of
them are stand-alone in sub-directories.
on the internet it indexed fine. But when I loaded you default.htm file and
tried clicking on the newsearch hyperlink I got an error saying that the
file c:///intranet/cgi-bin/texis.> exe/webinator/search not found.

Did you walk to the default database that the search script will try to
use or some other? Make sure the correct database (.../webinator/db) is
accessable by the search script and that the data is fully indexed (gw
-index).

View the source of the result page to see if there's any error messages
in HTML comments.
