Search Engine installed but receiving no results when searching Can't Post

I have installed the Search engine program on my website.

All appears correct except for when i run the search, it never returns any results.

Always reads 0 results found from 0 files searched

If i click on browse to select a category it gives the follwoing error message...
Error : Directory isn't readable!

Hi Jeff!

This sounds to me like a permissions problem. You may want to doublecheck that your /data/ directory is has full permissions for the user that Perl runs as.

Without looking at your server directly, it's difficult to give any further directions than that. If you'd like us to take a closer look, you can fill out a support request on our website here:

I hope this helps. :)

Hello Donna,

Thanks for your reply.

It does appear to be searching, but only folders in the directory i specified.

I want it to search all sub directories underneath the initial directory i selected for that category, is it able to do that?

Kind Regards

Jeff Whitfield

Hi Jeffbrfc,

Thanks for the response Smile.

You can make a category search through its subdirectories as well. Simply go to the Category editor and click on modify. There should be a check box there that says:

Search sub-directories?

Simply check the checkbox left of the message above and save the settings. That should do it! Cool

I hope this helps. If you have other questions please let me know.


Cheers,

Hi Eric,

Thank you,

I already have 'search sub-directories' ticked.

Could you send me the full list of permissions i need to set.

Thanks

Hi Jeff,

Thanks for the reply Smile.

As long as your sub-folders have read and execute permission (in Unix/Linux it's chmod 755), the folders should be searchable. If you can't set permissions or the issue persists after you've set permissions, then I would recommend you follow Donna's recommendation and fill out a support form with FTP information so we can take a closer look.

I hope this helps.
