Re: Problem with version 5.4.0

In 5.3.0, you COULD index a new site from the Index tab and Sphider would assign a site id to the new site. 5.4.0 has many improvements, but you just found something that got broken in the update! Now I have something to fix for the next release!!! FIX: spider.php, line 844 should read: ."? , ?...

Re: Problem with version 5.4.0

Your method of using markers is valid. The actual Sphider index function (called on line 214) is located between lines 720-1151. Since this does SEEM like a permissions issue, and you mention "wamp" ... I take it you are using a Windows operating system. If so, confirm that "Windows O...

Re: Problem with version 5.4.0

Did you upgrade or install as new? If installed as new, I suspect a permissions problem. There are several directories within the admin directory: backup, log, reports, sitemaps, and tmp. The system needs read/write access to these directories. Permissions need to be 755 (or 775 to be sure). With Ub...

Re: Can't indexing

I think I understand. You can get title and description but no fulltxt OR fulltxt but no title or description. Do keywords get indexed for pages with fulltxt? I would like to see the source code for a page from each type. Example: sport/resultatclub-2023?id=96 and recits/fanfare-et-harmonies.php. DO...

Re: Can't indexing

Sphider looks for the actual page content. I would need to see the actual page to determine the issue. If a page consists only of links and/or images and no actual text, it is possible there will be "fewer than 10 words". One way to see for sure is to clear the site, go into settings and c...

Re: Optimizing for speed

Clearing the site, then doing a new index will not harm anything. Only recommendation is that AFTER clearing the site you then run "clean keywords" from the Clean Tables tab. Also "clean temp" if there is any data in there. Cleaning keywords MIGHT take awhile... Also, when a time...

Re: Optimizing for speed

Sphider, as originally envisioned by Ando Saabas, was for small personal websites. It is, however, capable of handling some pretty large stuff! My own webisite (https://www.worldspaceflight.com) runs about 2000 pages. I have also, during testing, had as many as 15 sites indexed at once, some pretty ...

Dealing with the curse of the 500 Internal Server Error

Getting a 500 Internal Server Error while trying to index or re-index a site can be very frustrating. These errors can be quite persistent and unpredictable. The larger the site, the more likely encountering a 500 HTTP error becomes --- and the more frustrating. While this error is not as disastrous...

Re: Having trouble getting Sphyider started

Ahhh! Turns out that is a fairly new collation and your version of MySQL obviously does not have it.
Well, easy fix.
Edit install.php and replace all instances of of 'utf8mb4_0900_ai_ci' with 'utf8mb4_general_ci'. Then rerun install.php.

Re: Having trouble getting Sphyider started

Did you edit settings/database.php and settings/my.cnf for database name, mysql_user, mysql_password, and mysql_server?

Just getting the "Sphider installation script" with nothing after than indicates a failure to connect to the database.
