Spider not starting
Hi

I've installed the spider plugin and links plugin-manager said everything is fine.

When I try to start the spider.pl it says:

cgi:/usr/local/httpd/cgi-bin/links/admin/Plugins/Spider # Spider Daemonized
No such file or directory at ./spider.pl line 118.


The admin_root_path is set to: /usr/local/httpd/cgi-bin/links/admin

within the links-admin, so that should be fine?

I'm using: spider.pl,v 1.12 2001/10/26 21:54:44 aki Exp $

and Links SQL 2.1.0

regards, Lars

Hi Lars,

The simplest thing to do is to make sure that the admin/Plugins/Spider directory is set to 777. The spider wants to create the spider.status file there that will tell the admin that it is running.

Cheers,

Aki

The directory is set to 777. That seems not to be the fact, causing the problem.

In that case, make sure that the spider.log file has been set to 777.

Hope this helps,

Aki

Hi Lars,

Can you send me login information? I'd like to take a look at it, I'm out of ideas for now.

You can email me at aki@gossamer-threads.com

Cheers,

Aki
