Sphider Help Forum

With the first example, the ellipses hide part of the path. However, the first 6 lines do APPEAR to be the same. Looking in my database, this is what I see: 4175, http://kasdivi.com/images/Gallery/2009/august/general/cargill%20(1%20of%206).jpg, cargill%20(1%20of%206).jpg, 400, 300, , 25, 0 4174, htt...

Sphider records images by name and URL. If the same image URL/name is referenced on multiple pages, it will be recorded as a duplicate. Thus, it doesn't matter what page the image appears on, but where it actually resides. Each page being indexed finds all images referenced by that page. For each im...

Using the index that I build for the site, and doing a search for all images (*), the first ten results show these files in sphider/tmp: -rw-r--r-- 1 www-data www-data 60024 Jun 14 13:58 DSC_7048-2.jpg -rw-r--r-- 1 www-data www-data 80744 Jun 14 13:58 IMG_0081.jpg -rw-r--r-- 1 www-data www-data 5748...

I am happy it is all working and glad I could be of some assistance. You did the hard work.
Persistence is what leads to success, and bitching is part of the process. (I know from experience!)

And just think.... you'll get to do it all over again when you upgrade to PHP 8...

If you can find a Free BSD forum, that may be of some help from others experienced in the operating system.

Whichever version works as the correct PHP module for you version of PHP. My experience says the modules change for each major PHP version and tend to be immune to minor changes. So, for your case, PHP 7.4 matters, but the ".20" minor version does not. Concentrate on the correct Imagick fo...

I know Imagick can be a pain. My version of Linux is Ubuntu, which is Debian based. Ubuntu has vast repositories which really simplify life. Free BSD, on the other hand, is a real UNIX. My UNIX experience was on System V (AT&T) and that was several decades ago! There was a time I installed Imagi...

Good to hear you are indexing.
What is the image issue? Maybe I can help.

I performed a test index on the site; When I test, I tend to torture Sphider, so I am likely more aggressive than most users. I allowed image indexing as well, which added considerable to the workload; The index completed after a marathon session of about 7.5 hours. The site was larger than I had an...

Doing a quick test of the site, indexing SHOULD proceed rather quickly. If you are having problems with sphider exiting prematurely (before completion) and get a lot of "Continuing suspended indexing.", we need to dig deeper. For starters, in admin/spider.php, lines 34 and 35 control error...
