Sphider Help Forum

The issue is with the website itself. The certificate is invalid and there is no way for Sphider to change that.

As a work-around, you could try http://wtk-velbert.de (or maybe http://www.wtk-velbert.de), but if the site is set up to redirect to https, that won't work either.

Sorry.

PM me with the URL of the site you are trying to index and I'll see what happens from my end. Then maybe we can figure out a solution.

I hate 500 errors...

The search page customization is very nicely done!
I'm not sure what is going on with the searches...
Is there just a single database, or is there a separate database for each language? Knowing this will help me think more clearly as to what/why...

Thanks!

First off, the bug got fixed. But on reflection and testing, the ability to index decimals may be pointless! Why? You can't search ("and", "or") for a word containing a period (.) or comma (,)! For example, a search for 1.06 ( or 1,06) will translate into a search for "1 06&...

Tentative enhancement to allow reading xml.gz files: /** * Read the sitemap.xml file on the server * * @param string $input_file Sitemap file name * * @return array $links Array of links found in sitemap.xml */ function getSiteMap($input_file) { $links = ''; $sitemap = simplexml_load_file($input_fil...

A short history of Sphider... Originally, Sphider read ONLY a sitemap.xml file. This worked fine on small websites, which Sphider was intended for. I did expand this so that Sphider could use sitemap.xml as an index, and now will accept further xml files. HOWEVER, I did NOT take xml.gz into consider...
