Cannot find DB on NT

Post by Thunderstone »



Hi--
I've installed and run the search engine just fine on our website,
and when i run gw from a command line it works great. HOWEVER, my attempts
to get a webinator 2 walker script installed have met with less than stellar
results. I'm using Windows NT and my site serves out of
c:\inetpub\wwwroot\mysite\ I've set db =
c:\inetpub\wwwroot\mysite\searchengine\webinator\db and my problem always
comes with the $defdb variable. No matter what i set it to, it NEVER works.
It always says that db cannot be found. I've set it from c: , from
wwwroot, with forward slashes, with backwards slashes, etc etc etc I have
the admin script in a slightly different directory
c:\inetpub\wwwroot\mysite\searchengine\admin\adminscript, but the
directories are all laid out correctly. What could be the problem? Why
does the database and gw find all fine, but the script cannot find any?

Make sure you've set both <DB> and $DefDb as mentioned in the comments.
Perhaps you are running on a web server that doesn't set $DOCUMENT_ROOT .
If that's the case you will have to replace all occurances of
$DOCUMENT_ROOT with the full path to your document directory.
