PHP problems

Post by b.sims »

Is anything special required to get webinator to index PHP. I have been using ioc.unesco.org/iodenew/index.php as a test page. When I point Webinator at this page it is apparently retrieved normally but nothing is placed in the search engine. List URls run with * gives the one page but there is nothing in the 'body' section.

I'm guessing Webinator is tripping over something in the page's code, but the body tag seems to be in place normally.

There's an incorrect META HTTP-EQUIV Content-Type in the document. It should be "text/html".

OK, fixed that; site is now indexed fully but only the normal pages (eg categories.php) not the dynamically created (eg http://ioc.unesco.org/iodenew/categorie ... egory_no=6). I checked that the question mark is removed from 'exclusions'.

Running geturl on the address works properly; I checked the header for the above problem but it seems normal.

Go to "List/Edit URLs". Find the page that references that page and click it's "Children" link. See if it's listed and if there's an error indicated next to it.

No, only children listed are non-query string pages.

You probably need to turn off "Strip Queries" under all walk settings.

Webinator has a lot of options and it's hard to remember everything all the time. So if your walk does not behave as expected it may be helpful to just review all of the settings under all walk settings to see if anything might be related to the problem you're seeing.
