Dear colleagues,

I have downloaded Webinator two weeks ago. So I have beginners problems.

I was not able to get positive search results. I tried "default.html" -
it give search page. When I tried to make search, the result was error:
"Error: The database does not appear to exist."

In file "Search" line
<DB = E:/WWW/system/Search/webinator/db>
point to existing directory.

The content of this directory is as follows:

Directory of J:\system\search\webinator\db

98/06/09 06:45 <DIR> .

If your database is J:\system\search\webinator\db , the <db=..> should read
<DB = J:\system\search\webinator\db>

Don't forget to change the <$defaultdb=...> statement in the <setdb> function.

In your web browser, view the source of the page containing the "Error:
The database does not appear to exist." message to see if there are any
more associated error messages.
