Verity Spider

[TiGGi]

I am trying to setup VSpider for one of my sites and no luck so far. This is what I got so far:
I am running CFMX7 with IIS 6 on Win 2003 Server Web Edition. Eeach site has it's own internal IP address.
I made sure that site I am trying to index has localhost for host header so when I type http://localhost I get the site.
I made a batch file:
vspider.exe -style C:\CFusionMX7\verity\Data\stylesets\ColdFusionVspider -collection C:\CFusionMX7\verity\collections\rhspider -include "*/cfdocs/htmldocs*" -start http://localhost/
Then I went into CFAdmin and added new collection with englishX language.
I've tried doing different things but every time my collection is coming up with 0 documents!
What am I missing????

This command works for me:
C:\CFusionMX700\verity\k2\_nti40\bin\vspider -start http://localhost:8501/cfdocs/htmldocs -cgiok -style
C:\CFusionMX700\verity\Data\stylesets\ColdFusionVspider -collection c:\spider2 -indinclude *

Try it. Also try adding the -verbose switch and review the errors generated in your current batch job.

I think the problem was the CFMX7 out of the box. I installed 7.02 update and now it works fine.
One question thou; is there a way to use domain insted of the localhost. All the urls from the search are pointing to http://localhost/..... which is useless for internet users?!

Can anyone tell me what I need to do to be able to crawl domain insted of the localhost. I tried -start http://www.domain.com but it fails.
Do I need to do something with IIS?

The administrator's guide has instructions for the prefixmap argumentRead the help. Basically create the prefixmap file as:
vdkvgwkey http://localhost URL http://www.domain.com
Use the argument to point to the prefixmap file you create.
