License violation: Max Hits

Post by brozen0 »

Hi,

When I go to the webinator admin script via the web, I get the following:

Texis Web Script (Vortex) Copyright (c) 1996-2005 Thunderstone - EPI, Inc.
Free Webinator Version 5.01.1123091539 20050803 (i686-unknown-linux2.4.9-64-32)

September 8th is when we finally got things back up and running (due to changes on our server, webinator wasn't walking the sites properly until then) -- and now I'm wondering if the rewalks are causing the problems. Unfortunately, I have no way to see because I can't even access the admin script due to this.

Any ideas on what I can do? Maybe manually turning off the schedule so that we can figure out if that is the problem?

Thanks,

BR

Mistake -- that's what I get when I type in "texis -license".

I get this when I go to the admin script on the web:
Texis Web Script (Vortex) Copyright © 1996-2005 Thunderstone - EPI, Inc.
Free Webinator Version 5.01.1123091539 20050803 (i686-unknown-linux2.4.9-64-32)

The admin interface should still mostly work when you're in violation.
You're running with a free license. Did you purchase a license? If so put the license.upd file into the install directory and run
texis -update
You can wipe your schedules with
texis -wipesched
(you'll have to unschedule and reschedule them via admin when the problem's resolved)
Check your webserver logs to see what the hits were.

Unfortunately it isn't working at all..I can't even get into it.

We didn't purchase a license and I'm not even convinced that it would help (assuming the daily walks are what's causing the problem).

When I type in "texis -wipesched" I still get "000 License violation: Max Hits".

The web logs don't show anything close to the number of hits that webinator is reporting -- thus it's apparently the nightly walk that's creating the problem.

Any other ideas?

Thanks.

Make sure any "texis" processes are stopped.
The license will clear itself after a day unless it keeps getting hit. If your site has any links to the search you should add /texis/ to your excludes to make sure you're not walking the search results.
