  • Confused about configuration

    Hi,

    I have a main website, and the videos and other data are fed by a different site. I would like the content to be indexed on both, but am having problems configuring this.

    I want to start to spider from this url: http://webdev.multimediaservices.ca/en/sitemap

    This sitemap links to all my pages, but also some external links. I only want to index my site http://webdev.multimediaservices.ca, and this site http://cdn.forces.ca.

    In Start Options/Start spider from this URL > MORE, my spider url is http://webdev.multimediaservices.ca/en/sitemap and my base url is http://webdev.multimediaservices.ca/en/; http://cdn.forces.ca/.

    I've tried selecting the Index page and follow internal links, as well as Index page and follow internal and external links, but the files on cdn.forces.ca are always skipped. Here is a sample log entry:
    Skipping http://cdn.forces.ca/_VIDEOS2010/wmv/1140_how-to-apply_en.wmv (External site - does not match base URL)

    What am I missing?

    Thanks.

    The problem may just be the extra space after the semi-colon (";") character. Check again and make sure your base URL is exactly:
    http://webdev.multimediaservices.ca/...cdn.forces.ca/

    No spaces, no dots at the end.

    This should work with the default "Index page and follow internal links" setting (first spidering option in the list). When you've changed the base URL, it's considered an internal link.
