When i go back to the index-site there are listed know 20 hosts, but www.ebay.com is already locked.

I have the right IP. I don't know what the problem know is.

Hi. Unfortunately I don't see the problem either. :(

Maybe someone who has this kind of OS/setup can provide additional help.

hi,

i don't know if that is a problem, but i want to try it.

First i have no robot.txt file. How should i do this?
Second i have no idea if the text-content and temp are set to chmod 777. How and where can i set this up?
Thirdly, can you spider www.ebay.com for me, to see the result?


Are thes possible reasons that it doesn
t work?

Hi. For question one, you don't need a robots.txt file to use PhpDig, but if you want a robots.txt file, a tutorial can be found here. For question two, basically chmod is a *nix command. To check file permissions on Win machine perhaps try using the file manager. However, if you were having permission problems, then you would probably see a "Can't open directory: Permission denied" error. For question three, the output looks like that you posted, except there are no warning messages. For question four, I don't think so.

hi Charter,

i think i find the problem. I looked at my Phpinfo and i found that the thread safety mode was enabled instead of disabled.

Secondly the register_globales are on to.

How can i change this? I looked, but i found nothing usefull.

I have windows 2000.

Hi. Information about configuring PHP can be found here.

hi

i have found my problem. My settings, configuration and so on was everthing allright.

The problem is, i am working for a firm. In the Intranet i can spider all hosts. But when i spider a site on the internet, i can't get out of the local network. I think there is now way to change something in phpdig, that it is possible?

Hi. If the Intranet is preventing access to the Internet, then PhpDig shouldn't access the Internet.
