Spider Install Error Andy

When I install the newest spider plugin and I click on edit I get this in the Plugin Detail area

Plugin: Spider Version: Unknown Tag: 'version' Author: Unknown License: Unknown Tag: 'license' Description:

And this when doing a perl check

And which version? (you can find this out by opening up the .tar file in WinZip, and viewing the Install.pm file. Near the top, it should have the version number.

Is that the latest version from our members area? If so, please let me know... as it should be version 1.7.5 now.

Re: [craven32] Spider Install Error Andy In reply to

Ok, I've just uploaded version 1.7.5, which is the version that should have been up there. I'm pretty sure this will fix your problem, as the Raw.pm and Data.pm files have both been put into Raw.pm, which seems to fix a bug that some servers were giving with Net::Whois::Raw.

Re: [craven32] Spider Install Error Andy In reply to

Ok, it looks like the .pm files are not being overwritten correctly. This should fix it;

FTP into your site, and goto the admin folder of your site, then delete the 'Raw' folder, and all its contents.

Uninstall the plugin, and then reinstall it. The new .pm files should be created correctly then. Please let me know how this goes :)

Re: [Andy] Spider Install Error Andy In reply to

I just went in through FTP and there was no 'Raw' folder or file there. Even after installing and uninstalling. I checked in the admin folder and Plugins folder both.

I saw the spider.pm file which I deleted and reinstalled but had the same error.

When I perform the perl check on Install.pm and spider.pm I get the error listed above.

When I do the Perl Check on Raw.pm I get

Raw.pm syntax OK

It installed but while running the spidering I received this error after about 5 out of 15 sites were spidered.

No such file or directory at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005/Net/Whois/Raw.pm line 238.

Re: [craven32] Spider Install Error Andy In reply to

Looks like its down to this;

Quote:

'whois.ripe.net' => [
'^%'
],

If you remove this from admin/Net/Whois/Raw.pm, how does it work then?

Hi Andy,

This morning I tried spidering a few other sites and it worked fine. I ran into the problem when trying to spider a Yahoo category page. Not sure why that would cause the error though.

Re: [craven32] Spider Install Error Andy In reply to

Could be the limits cutting in on your Whois() queries. According to pugdog, there is a limit as to how many 'calls' you can make in a specified amount of time. Its a bit weird though, as some servers will let yo do 100's (i.e mine), whilst others give an error on 5-20 :( The only way to stop this completly, is to get rid of the 'whois' stuff, which would mean that it wouldn't try and grab the owners email address from a Whois database if it didn't find any contact email on the spidered page.

Re: [Andy] Spider Install Error Andy In reply to

This sounds very much like my problem.

After installing the spider plugin I get very similar errors but in G Community.

Why and how can it be sorted out???

Re: [demon] Spider Install Error Andy In reply to

I doubt it has anything to do with my plugin and GComm. They don't even link up (except the stuff GComm is meant to do).

Did you try running it with the "whois" turned off? (dropdown box).
