Not indexing my files

Spider · 07-22-2004, 12:52 AM

I installed phpdig on www.vematex.nl/phpdig to test it. When I index URI www.vematex.nl, it spiders and indexes all static and dynamic pages, but not my files. Only when I index URI www.vematex.nl/files, it spiders and indexes my files.

I maybe know the problem: the files are linked to from a dynamic link in the database, not from a static link. But I don't know how to solve this.

Can somebody help me with this?

Welcome to the forum, Spider.

Are you trying to index Word, Excel or PDF files? If so, check out this in the phpdig documentation.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for reply. I have catdoc installed and when /files is indexed, I DO see what's in the .doc, so catdoc is working good.

My problem is that I need to index the files-dir apart from indexing the site-dir, otherwise the files-dir isn't indexed.

I see. In that case, check out this thread.

Thanks, but my problem is not about searching, but about spidering/indexing a specific sub-dir. Other sub-dirs are indexed good. Once manually indexed the files-dir, the searching works fine.

That thread is about both spidering and searching. I'd encourage you to read it again.
