Not Spidering
 

Ok I have an issue with PHPDig not spidering. I go into the
admin panel and I add some URLs in for it to spider.


I set the search depth to 5 and the Links Per I leave at 0
so it spiders all links as per the documentation. I click on the Dig This
button and it says the following.

Spidering in progress... [Stop spider]
Optimizing tables...
Indexing complete !
--------------------------------------------------------------------
[Back] to admin interface.

So it looks like it was spidering but when I go into the the update a site or branch on the right handside. There are no branches there. It doesn't appear like it is spidering. When I go to the main search page and I do a search
I get 0 resultes back even for words that I know should be in there.

Here is the information on the server

Apache version 1.3.34 (Unix)
PERL version 5.8.7
PHP version 4.4.2
MySQL version 4.1.16-standard
Linux Kernel Version 2.6.15.1

I am at a total loss here as to why it is not indexing. I added about 25 sites and none of them have any branches. And when I go and do a search I get no results back.

Can some one give me any ideas as to how I may be able to fix this?
I get no errors or anything and it appears like it was successful but
It obviously isn't. Any help you could give would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Jamie

Not Spidering
 

Oh just so you know as well I have read some of the other posts
about this problem as well and I still can't get it working.

Running PHP Dig 1.8.8

Yes I tried to run 1.8.9 RC1 but I get an error
due to a missing function in some versions
of perl. The function is mb_eregi()
and it appears to be a well known bug.

I am getting this error even in PHP 4.4.2
I know they were saying in some other posts
that this function is missing in PHP 5.x but it is
also happening in PHP 4.4.2 so I am stuck with
running phpdig 1.8.8 for now.

allow_url_fopen enabled
safe_mode off

And in my includes\config.php file

define('ABSOLUTE_SCRIPT_PATH','/public_html/infoseekersbiz');
define('LIMIT_TO_DIRECTORY',false);
define('PHPDIG_SESSID_REMOVE',true);
define('PHPDIG_IN_DOMAIN',true);


Any suggestions as to how I can fix this problem with it not
spidering?

Thanks,

Jamie

Hi,
are you sure the absolute path is correct?

generally is
