Index DB for a specific dir.

Post by Thunderstone »




Hi there,
I have downloaded the webinator to be used as a search engine in our
website. (www.PersonalMD.com) Now We want to have domain specific searches.
Right now I have indexed the entire site (with gw www.personalmd.com).

My Qn is, is there any way I can create separate DBs depending on different
directories published under document root dir of the webserver ???

For instance I have 'Drug Database' Dir under document root (public_html) dir.
Can I create a separate indexing DB for this drugDB alone ???
I went thru your help and tried the following command.

"gw -dDrugDB http://www.PersonalMD.com/drgdb"

My request was declined with a message saying "access denied !!"

I am using Java web server1.1.

I think I need to change some of the web server properties. Dunno which one
though.

Your early response will be appreciated.

Regards

Yes, you can create databases with specific subsets of a site.
The syntax you used will work as long as the url you give is fetachable.
You might want a -j option though:
gw -dDrugDB -jhttp://www.PersonalMD.com/drgd/ bhttp://www.PersonalMD.com/drgdb/

If the page is not fetchable, it's a web server issue. This list supports
Webinator, not web server software. Try accessing the page with your
web browser. Once that works, gw should also be able to access it.
