can't search Can't Post

When I try to search my site

http://southlandmedia.com.au/artman/publish/index.shtml

(still being developed)

I get a 404 message.

Do I have to move my search folder? if so to where?

Thanks in advance

Hi,

Thanks for the post!

I have looked at your website and found that you are on a windows server and using "search.pl" instead of "search.cgi", you can see this for yourself here:

http://southlandmedia.com.au/artman/exec/search.cgi

http://southlandmedia.com.au/artman/exec/search.pl

The first link uses "search.cgi" and will link you to the "404" error, the second link will link you to the "search.pl" and your actual search page. :)

What you will want to do is login to your Article Manager admin section and follow the steps below:

- Select 'Setup Options' from the upper right hand side of the screen, inside the "Setup Options" page select the 'Server' tab.

- On the "Server" tab scroll down to the "Directories and URLs" section, in here notice the field called "Search URL".

- At the end of the "Search URL" field change "search.cgi" to ""search.pl", then save your changes.

This will make it so that Article Manager uses "search.pl" on your site, you may also want to republish your articles after making this change. :)

Does this help? If you have any other questions please feel free to ask!

With this same issue - does the .cgi also apply to my dynamic viewer url?

Thanks
