000 Login failure

Post by puttakanda »

1.
I am having this error when trying to run the gw command to spider the site:
000 Login failure
000 Could not connect to /morph3/texis/mydb
000 Login failure
000 Could not connect to /morph3/texis/mydb
000 Login failure
000 Could not connect to /morph3/texis/mydb

I created a new database "basdb" using tsql -m, changed the password. Now tried to spider the site with gw, but get another error message:
D:\>gw -d/morph3/texis/basdb -createdb
Database /morph3/texis/basdb exists, but can not be opened

I get the same error even if i supply id and password using gw -d/morph3/texis/basdb -UuserID -Ppass -createdb
I have tried killing the monitor.exe, texis.exe, but the problem persists

I am running thunderstone on a Win2K box, so guess this is not a permissions issue.

Now I am getting this error:
D:\>gw -d/morph3/texis/basdb -U_SYSTEM -Ppassword -create
200 Using existing database
000 Login failure
000 Could not connect to /morph3/texis/basdb

The -U and -P options to gw are used for website authentication, not Texis authentication. Gw will always try and login to the database as _SYSTEM with no password. You should let gw create the database, and not change the password on it.
