Indexing a Subdirectory

Post by paul_wallace »

Running v 2.5 on a Win2000 box. Most of our documents are in a subdirectory on the server, fetched by a ColdFusion Page based on date released, or Document Number. Since there are never static links to these documents, and the directories are updated twice a day, can I use webinator to index just the parent of these directories (and the subdirectories) into a new database? I would like to do something like gw -d ... d:\directory, but it is not allowed. Any help would be appreciated.

You would have to make those files directly accessable via an http url and walk them that way. Or you could walk the existing cold fusion interface url. Just adjust your gw settings to allow the right extensions and such.

Actually, by enabling directory browsing on the server for this subdirectory, I was able to successfully index its documents
