Indexing your Site

Note: This documentation is for an old version of Webinator. The latest documentaion is here.

Indexing your Site

After the Webinator is installed the first thing to do is to index your Web site and try out some searches on it. This will involve retrieving all of your web pages with gw. Building indices for searching. And accessing the Webinator search page. Assuming that your Web home page is at http://www.mysite.com you would perform the following commands:

gw http://www.mysite.com

Similarly, if you have an HTML tree that is isolated from your normal home page you can index it by specifying its URL:

gw http://www.mysite.com/docs/widget.html

If you have pages with extensions other than html, htm, or txt you can use the -f option to index them. For example, to additionally index files with asp and hlp extensions use:

gw -fasp -fhlp http://www.mysite.com
