Re: An issue with PDF indexing.

On the settings tab, be sure "Index PDF files" is checked. (It probably is, but I just have to mention it in the off-chance... LOL!) Also, in the admin directory, there are several sub-directories. I believe3 you mentioned you are getting log files, so check that the "tmp" direct...

Re: An issue with PDF indexing.

By default, Sphider assumes that you are using a Linux based operating system and the pdftotext executable is located at "/usr/bin/pdftotext". It is possible that: 1) pdftotext isn't installed, although with a Linux system that is unlikely. 2) pdftotext is located somewhere else. You can c...

Re: Unable to login into admin

Good to hear. I was afraid of that very thing happening, which is why I posted the notice.

Sphider 5.2.1 is a patch. Sphider 5.3.0 will be out in a couple days and makes a permanent fix which will not require any user intervention at all, along will several other code improvements.

After installing Sphider 5.2.0 or SphiderLite 2.3.0, they fail to run. The error log states "Class Random\Randomizer not found." The issue is that the rand() and mt_rand() functions will become deprecated in the coming release of PHP 8.3. These releases have a custom replacement for those ...

Sphider 5.2.0, SphiderLite 2.3.0 released

Sphider 5.2.0 and SphiderLite 2.3.0 have been released. SHAME ON ME!!! The spelling suggestions of the search function ("Did you mean") has been broken for over two and a half years! In an effort to make the code "more efficient", I broke this feature and just now realized it! :o...

Re: Sphider-5.0.0 - Indexing Keyword issues

I just did another scan. Poor results, just as you got. Focusing just on the Acronyms.hyml, I fopund this: <input type=button onClick="parent.open('/sphider-5.1.0/search.php')" value='Click here to Search Page' <button> Still a very easy to miss error! <input type=button onClick="pare...

Re: Sphider-5.0.0 - Indexing Keyword issues

In the Sphider database, there is a table called "links". One of the columns in "links" is "fulltxt". This should contain all of the text on the page (link) with all tags and other extraneous data removed.I realized this column was extremely short on content! Most likel...

Re: Sphider-5.0.0 - Indexing Keyword issues

HEY!!! BIG update!
I believe the error is common to ALL the pages!!!

There is one line of code containing:
value='Click here to Search Page'
Modify this slightly to:
value='Click here to Search Page'><button>
Just a simple little oversight...

Re: Sphider-5.0.0 - Indexing Keyword issues

At least for the acronyms page, yes! HTML error, which really surprised me because I didn't think it was that serious of an error! I can send you the details by private email if you wish. We can discuss in the message area.

Re: Problem with indexing - Timeout occurred

When the blank page shows, look at the top of the browser. Does the tab indicate activity with perhaps a spinning circle or some graphic? This would mean there is still activity. Sphider often looks like it is doing nothing, then a burst of text followed by more waiting. If there is no indication th...
