Hi

I've an issue when I try to walk an internet wezb site that contain word documents.
I've got an issue like

The link : http://www..........file.doc
Had this error: Not in requirements

I can't do any research on words in any documents of the web site.

Do you have an idea on what this issue is due to ?

Thanks

Make sure you include .doc in the extension list you want indexed on the basic walk settings page.

Yes of course there is .doc in the extension list :

Here are the extensions defined :
asp .aspx .doc .html .htm .jsp .pdf .php .swf .txt .xls

Another possibility is that you have stay under defined, or it is on a different server, so it does not match the required url prefix, or if you have a "Required REX" it doesn't match that.

I don't know what "under defined" means

One document is on the same server http://www.pgregister.coe.int/Pompidou_ ... mpidou.doc
and the base url defined is http://www.pgregister.coe.int/Pompidou_ ... tlist.html

There nothing defined in Required REX field

"Stay Under" is an option, if set to yes based on the base url it will only index documents with a prefix:

http://www.pgregister.coe.int/Pompidou_ ... jectfiles/

i.e. it will stay under the directory containing the Base URL.

Set Stay Under to "N" to crawl elsewhere on the server.

alternatively if you only want things under

http://www.pgregister.coe.int/Pompidou_files/Pro15

added to the crawl (as opposed to everytyhing on pgregister.coe.int), you can add that URL to the "required prefix".

I've set Stay Under to No and I've still the same issue...

I do not want only things under http://www.pgregister.coe.int/Pompidou_files/Pro15 but also .../Pro1 2 3 4 5 6 .....

My issue is listed in the "Checking for broken hyperlinks..." of the walk status
Is this issue can be because of spaces included into the document name ?

Did you do a rewalk mode "new" or "refresh" walk? If refresh it may not have done much if nothing was due. Do a mode new to ensure that everything is redone.

I changed the rewalk mode from "refresh" to "new" and it is working well right now
Thank you for your help

Cyril.
