PhpDig.net - View Single Post - Can't get PHPDig to index an htaccess protected site

mlerch@mac.com · 02-19-2004, 05:20 PM

Hello,

I installed PHPdig. I am getting the admin/index.php page. I set the ../admin/temp directory, the ../includes directory and the ../text_content directory to chmod 777 (don't know if this is how it is supposed to be.

I am not getting any database errors.

So I go ahead and enter a URL to be spidered into the text box. For example:

http://username:password@www.mydomain.com

Nothing happens. It just hangs.. doesn't even go to the next page.

However, if I write:
http://www.mydomain.com

It goes to the next page, but doesn't find any links on that page. Totally weird.

When I go ahead and remove the htaccess username/password protection from that website and try it again with:
http://www.mydomain.com

It does find the links and seems to spider it correctly.

So this is the first of my problems.

The second one is completely different:

I would like to split that admin directory out of the phpdig directory. I would like to stick that admin directory into an existing admin directory on an https server and rename that phpdig admin directory to "search_tools" or something like that. So, I want to access the phpdig admin directory with:

https://secure.mydomain.com/admin/se...ools/index.php

and the regular site search form with:

http://www.mydomain.com/search.php

Is that possible? Or would I have to change pretty much every single link in the admin directory and so forth?

Please advise.

Thank you. Great software, and the price is right.

Better than the commercial license for Atomz for $15K per year !!!! Hope that I can get it working for us.
