I also don't see any doctype line either, could that make a difference guys?

Hi Jo.

Thanks for the tips. I did have doc types on the original pages but removed them when I couldn't get the search to work. Have put them back in now, and changed the <p> tags to <div> but still can't get it to work.

Cheers,
Lance.

PS: Think my head is starting to hurt ...

Try these headers, just in case it needs the <meta http-equiv



I is not reading the first page correctly, I think there is an error in the search.txt file,
<content>??&lt; h t m l > this part should not be there ??&lt; h t m l >

when you have done the scan, what do you get under the page it finds, is it like in the attached image.

Hi Jim,

Yeah, that's exactly what I get under the page it finds.

Have replaced the headers though with your version and re-run the Build Search function, but it still looks like its only finding the first page and the not finding any search results. Thanks for trying to help.

Lance.

Strange.

I copied your pages and uploaded them to some free webspace I have, then I ran the SiteSearch scan and you can see what I get in the attached image, I can't let you see the actual search working because the freespace doesn't allow php files, but at least it follow the links.

It could be your server that is the problem.

Thanks Jim.

At least I know its not the software that's the problem but the server.

Do you know if there's a full list of technical requirements that I can pass on to my webhost to look at at maybe?

I spoke to them again last night, and other than confirming the server is running UNIX and PHP5 they said if they saw the full requirements they might be able to suggest something.

Wondering if I should maybe swtich to a Windows server? Hmmmm.

Thanks,
Lance.

The only requirements that I know of are Server Requirements: PHP 4.3, but doing the scan does not use php as I have shown running it on my freespace, there is definateley something not right though.
The search.txt that is produced is not formatted correctly, where as the one I got from the scan is perfect.

The difference is easy to see.

I wouldn't think about changing to Windows server, if it is with the same host things could still be the same.

You may know more when you get a response from the support ticket that Scott setup for you.

Ok.

Thanks Jim. Will wait to hear back on the support ticket.

Cheers,
Lance.
