I've not used Index Server since I set it up about 4 years ago on a Windows NT 4 machine.
I now have to move the site to a Windows 2000 machine. I've hunted high and low and have yet to find anything on the subject. Anyone point me in the right direction?
I have one 3 tier architecture application running on Windows 2000 Server.
I have created replica of same machine on another machine where OS is
Windows 2000 Advance Server.
But when I port same running application on new machine i.e. Machine with OS
as Windows 2000 Advance Server, my middle tier (Active-X Dll, COM+
application) fails.
It throws common error
Invalid Procedure Call or argument
What could be the problem? Do I need to change any settings for running
application on Windows 2000 advance Server.
I am uploading to a server for the first time. I believe that my server will not point to .asp pages as the start page, only .htm is this correct?
I wanted my index.asp page displayed first from the web-site by default, but have been told that I need say, an index.htm which then points to my index.asp page.
Is there a way that I can use my index.asp page as my start page?
When I upgraded to Server 2003, I get this error now in my asp script which
is saving a form to an asp database. Do I need to do something different
now? I have used FP to design my forms, and to do my data results pages. I
am now using sharepoint services also which I was not using previously.
The Include file '../_fpclass/fpdbform.inc' cannot contain '..' to indicate
the parent directory.
I am planning to design a database (destined for the web) that will have
between 20000 and 45000 records in it and will receive a lot of reads but
very very few writes (just from me).
Now the question is should I use:
1) The combination of Access 2000 (accessible through ASP or ASP.NET) using
OLEDB Jet
or
2) SQL Server 2000 ?
Of course I know that the SQL Server option is a better one, especially
since it's said that an Access DB can have about 9 users or so accessing it
at the same time. But is that a general rule or is it about many people
writing to the DB? In other words, if an Access DB has hardly any writes
and 99.9% reads can it be used as efficiently as it would be used on SQL
Server 2000?
I am currently using the following script on Window 2000 and it works fine. However i am trying migarte the site to Windows 2003 server. I have just about got everything else to work but this one page stops working.
I have checked the obvious, the database is there and that all works as the previous page requires info from it and it works fine. Code:
I'm just about to start a project that needs to combine the results of a SQL
Server query with the results of an Index Server query. The basic idea is
that the user enters/selects a bunch of search criteria on a form.
Most of
the criteria selected by the user will be used to select records from the
database - standard WHERE clause stuff - but the user can also enter
free-text that should be searched for in associated uploaded documents.
The
documents are sitting in the file-system with file-name pointers only stored
in the database (not the document). Only records where the associated
free-text is found in the documents should be returned. I'm new to Index
Server and am wondering how is this done. Any good references/tutes?
I fire the following code on Index Server (different obj) and it returns a PDFs no problem, but when I change the object to use the MSSearch for Site Server I don't get any PDFs. Anything in the code that would cause this? I can see the PDFs getting crawled in Site Server, but when I try and search I don't get any pdfs .....
View Replies View RelatedThis is partly an ASP question and partly not an ASP question.
I'm trying to implement an ASP page that will use Index Server to provide search capability for a document repository folder. I've gotten this working on my server fine, but I'm now trying to implement it on a laptop (running Windows 2000 Pro) so that a salesman can show it to a prospective client. I was wondering if anyone knew if accessing Index Server through a web page would work on Win2kPro and the PWS it has?
Also, my working version is currently using the old style idq and htx pages and I've been having a hard time finding a good resource to show me how to do this in ASP...
I have to place a search the site text box in my .net site .I have installed MS indexing service and it has indexed my completed folder and if i query it it only shows the fields Rank,filename,Vpath,write ,size its not showing me the description and title which my headache.
I am making the query to server :
"select description,Contents,DocTitle, Filename, Vpath, Size, Write, Characterization, Rank from scope() where FREETEXT(Contents, 'market') order by rank desc"
I have index server running and happily cataloging one site and dishing up search results via and asp page. Having created a new catalogue for another site and putting the same asp code in I don't seem to have any info in the "characterization" field! Any idea why this is? Is there something about the way the pages are built that would allow that to work or not?
View Replies View RelatedWhile reading a article i came accross this word "index server"?
what does this all about?
I've been playing around with MS Index Server 3.0 (well, the one that comes with Windows 2000 Professional!) and my client has a website that generates dynamic content based on ASP code. I unfortunately require the use of Index Server because the IFilter allows support for searching within PDF files.My problem is that while all of the static content pages and PDF files are detected, indexed and catalogued fine, none of any dynamic pages are. I can clearly see why this is, since I assume Index Server doesn't have a webcrawler of any sort!I was wondering then, how people generally get around this problem, working with it? What is a quick way to get dynamic content integrated into the search? Should I find/write a webcrawler then put it into my search program or is there something better out there that will let me do all of this
View Replies View RelatedI have a custom search engine for our website that uses MS Index Server and it works great but it doesn't find any results for searches that contain french accented characters.If I'm searching for "élément"...it doesn't find anything because the page uses html codes for accents and this word would be written like
"élément" in my source code. My page uses charset utf-8 but the Index server uses 2 separate files(.htx and .idq files) and there doesn't seem to be any settings in there for this problem.
I'm having trouble getting my head around the query language for an Index Server Search w/ASP.I have some dummy content pages that have text like "this file contains things" and "this file contains stuff".I've tried these two queries:
PHP Code:
SELECT DocTitle, VPath, Path, Filename, Rank FROM SCOPE('DEEP TRAVERSAL OF "c:inetpubwwwroot"')
WHERE ((CONTAINS(' "file contains" ') >0)
AND ((Path NOT LIKE '%\_vti%') AND (Path NOT LIKE '%\_private%') AND (Filename NOT LIKE 'search.asp')))
ORDER BY Rank DESC
I have written a search logic for my website using microsoft indexing
service. I designed it on Windows XP. It works great.
Then i copied that to our Windows NT webserver and it is giving me the
following error
Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a01ad'
ActiveX component can't create object
/search.asp, line 25
Line 25 is
Set QueryObj = Server.CreateObject("IXSSO.Query")
Does anyone know anything abot Index Server ... The Documentation is Terrible and I am trying to find out if you can query the DocTitle.
View Replies View RelatedWe've had Index Server 2.0 running on an NT4/IIS4 server for several months now. It generates document abstracts and we retreive and display them using ASP/VBScript and ADO, using the SQL-querying method rather than the proprietary Index Server objects.
We're now trying to set up a replacement server based on Index Server 3.0 and Win2000/IIS5. We have the system up and running as before, with the exception of the abstracts.
Nothing is being returned for the abstracts - no data, no error message. "Generate Abstracts" is ticked in the Catalog Properties and we've ordered any number of re-scans and Stop/Starts of the service, but we're still not seeing any abstracts.
I need a search engine for my web. The service Index Server (for web) is started (win 2K) but i don't know how to make an ASP page for that. I can make a form like this:
<form ACTION="/asp/search_v2/query2.asp" METHOD="POST">
<table WIDTH="500" bordercolor="#FFFFFF">
<td>Give what you want to search:</td>
</tr>
<td><input TYPE="TEXT" NAME="SearchString" SIZE="65" MAXLENGTH="100"
VALUE=""></td>
<td><input TYPE="SUBMIT" NAME="Action" VALUE="Go"></td>
</form>
but then .
I'm working on creating a search functionality. I have keywords of articles in one column of a SQL server table, and the search terms of the user is hitting that column.
It works but I'm stuck on how to determine relevancy. I know you can create indexes in SQL server, and if it works anything lik Index Server, I was thinking that I could connect via ADO and determine relevancy.
I am currently in the process of moving my website from an NT Server/IIS 3.0 to a Win 2003 Server/IIS 6.0. I am trying to set up the index server for my site search. I have added the catalog and stored it in the same directory as my current website. I am using the exactly the same code and the same catalog name.
When I use the "Query Catalog" option within the Index Server I get results when I run a search. However, when I run a search through the website I get nothing returned.
We've been using Index Server and IIS4 and the corresponding objects to
search our sites. Everything fine.
Now we have set up a new server running IIS6 and the search results always
return "null" for Characterization, DocSubject and some other properties. I
found out that they were not cached. But turning caching on and initiating a
reindex didn't help either. Code runs fine on IIS4.
I am using the Index search server that comes with MS IIS 3.0. The search works ok but how do I limit the search to only HTML/ASP files and not include MS Office files in the search results?
View Replies View RelatedI was excited to use Microsoft Index Server, built into IIS, to set-up a site-search function, but it doesn't, by default, parse the ASP code of the pages it indexes. This makes it sort of a weak option for a site that uses variables to populate content in a templated site.
For example, I use variables to fill in the meta tags, and every page shows up in the search results as "UNTITLED." The problems go much deeper than that, but that's just an example.
if there's a trick to make it parse the code before it indexes? I mean, it's IIS, right? It should be able to parse ASP code. (You would think.) It seems to know not to index the ASP code, or else the contents of the variables would still be indexed, so it seems like it has the potential to parse the code before indexing.
I am having a problem with the following search results code. The first page of results looks normal, but on the second page (records 26+), no results are displayed and the following error message is shown:
“The catalog directory can not be found in the location specified by 'CiCatalog=' in file indexServer.idq.”
I do not understand how the catalog could have changed in between the first and second pages of results. Can anyone tell me what may be wrong? I have attached the search page (search.htm), the query file (indexserver.idq) and the query results template (indexserver.htx).
i get this error

We are not using Active directory and as such do not have access to Kerberos authentication methods. What I need to do is connect to an SQL (2000) database using ASP 3.0 - I have setup an account on SQL Server with read access to two tables (and no password). Just to complicate the issue even further, the IIS server and the SQL server reside on different machines on the network. Code:
View Replies View RelatedI'm just after installing windows 2000 server. It seems to be running fine. I can log onto sites stored within etc. However I'm having major problems trying to sending email forms. I am using an asp form to send the details however I never receive them. After completing the form and submitting the user is brought to a confirmation window which displays all the form details. There are no errors howver the email is never recieved.
With the errors I cannot say if the email was sent or not. So i do not know if it is the server settings or the asp file.
Do I need to preform additional installation of configuration to get the smtp server up and running as I am only using the default settings.
I just started learning ASP.NET and i need to learn to use the database for SQL Server 2000 quickly. First, (forgive me for my ignorance) what is a database? Do you guys know any good sites that teach you how to access the database for SQL Server 2000? and have tutorials, and sample code?

View Replies View RelatedI've noticed a few times yesterday I recived this error on my web
server:
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][DBNETLIB]SQL
Server does not exist or access denied.
I know for sure the server is running and at the time was under a load of about 2,900 page views for the hour. By far not my largest audience. What could cause this? Is ODBC having some issues? FYI, the database server isn't on the web server, they are physically two different machines connected via LAN.
I have set up Index Server in IIS to search my intranet. I've installed the Adobe PDF filter so that words from PDF files are included.
I can get results from PDFs when querying the catalogue in the Windows console. However, I have tried various ASP Search pages and they all ignore PDF files from a browser (even though the scripts include the pdf extension).
