If I add more sites, Zoom indexer doesn't scan all sites?

[Anonymous]

I try to add a couple of domains to scan, but sometimes Zoom says "Invalid url or already scanned", but if I try to scan just that URL everything works?

I assume these are additional start points added by clicking on the "More" button on the Spider mode tab.

Note that, if a previous start point has already scanned a URL, it will not be scanned again, even if you specify it as another start point. For example, if your first start point is set to "Index page and follow internal and external links", and whilst indexing that start point, it comes across a URL (eg. http://myothersite.com/index.html) and indexes it because it was set to index external links.

Now if you have a second start point at http://myothersite.com/index.html, this will be ignored, because the page has already been indexed by the first start point. This may not be what you were after however, if you didn't want just the first page from this second start point. In which case, you can either change the setting in your first start point (so that it does not index external links) OR you can rearrange the order of your start points to prevent this from happening.

The problem is like this, I want to index the followings sites: (only internal links)


spider url: site1.com/list-info.php
base url: site1.com/info/

&

spider url: site2.com/info/
base url: site2.com/info/

Then it says that that site2.com/info already have been indexed or is a invalid url, but if I try to scan only site2.com, there is no problems.

Do you understand my problem? (sorry for my bad english)

Send us your ZCFG file (via email - see our Contact Us page) and we'll take a look at it.

It would also help if you save your index log after indexing (click on "File" -> "Save index log to file") and send us this as well. Make sure you have turned on "Verbose mode" before indexing so that we'll see all skip messages.
