Problems Executing Search Engine 1

zoeythecat · Feb 17, 2003

Hi All,

I am having problems executing a search engine on my public web server. I have no problems executing this search engine locally in Front Page. The way I creating the search engine was by copying and pasting a java script from a website and pasting the code into an open html page and then saving the file as a *.htm file in Front Page. Again, I have no problems running this search engine from my local hard drive in Frontpage. I FTP this file up to my public webserver which is on a Unix Box. When in this FTP program if I click on the "exec" for this file from the directory on the webserver it comes up and executes so I know the code is right. But when I go to the webpage from Internet Explorer and click on the SiteSearch button the following, "The Page Cannot be found".

Anything I may be doing wrong or need to do?

Thanks in advance!
Zoey

there's not really much to go by for a solution that I can see. are you certain this is the name searchengine1.htm
what is the structure of the .htm page
ig
head
body
etc..

is there any server side scripting involved in the code you copied? what is the link to the open source that you're using? _________________________________________________________

The Sitesearch button attempts to pull in "searchengine1.htm" which is a file that sits in the directory by itself. It should pull up a Search Window. Here is the code from it. I think like you mentioned it may be server related, something I have to do on the Unix box? I thought maybe because it was initially "ReadOnly" but I have since changed the permissions of the file to be executable (RWXR - RX)

TIA

The file just doesn't seem to be there. Double check the spelling of the file to make sure. Type in the exact address of the file into the address bar to confirm that it is where it's supposed to be.

first thing)
are you FTPing or using FrontPAge to publish the page to the site.
FTPing a FrontPAge .htm is not something you want to do as it can damage the file and make it none viewable or function correctly.

try resaving the page in a .htm without the FrontPAge crud that gets added and using IE to ftp it or ws_ftp etc.
this will take take out the additions of the FrontPage extensions and all the other crud that is placed in the code.

server meaning server scripting. but there is none from looking at what you pasted. _________________________________________________________

onpnt,

Thanks for your help. Solution was to open up a new page in frontpage and paste the information again. I saved it as a different file, did the FTP up to the server and bingo, the search executes. The thing that threw me off was that it was working locally when viewing in frontpage. Maybe I should just purchase DreamWeaver.

Anyway, thanks for your help.

DreamWeaver would be a far better choice then FrontPAge as far as ease of adding to things and the freedom of how you can manipulate the site or sites. FrontPage tends to be a killer for developing sites that will go to the next step in some development as far as scripting goes.

glad you got it going and thanks for the star. _________________________________________________________
