No, I don't have a web server running on port 80 and when I enter http://localhost/robots.txt into my browser (Galeon) it goes to Google. > Are you sure that http://localhost/home/graeme/gramps/web/ is a valid > start_url?

What I'm trying to do is index a web site which I have a copy of on my local disk in the following directory:- /home/graeme/gramps/web/. I will also try indexing the url to the live web site and see what happens. Thanks again for your help. I'll get back if I still cannot work it out. -- Kind regards, Graeme Nichols Public Key available from http://keyserver.kjsl.com:11371/#extract ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Oh, by the way, which one's Pink? -- Pink Floyd ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - IMPORTANT. - - The contents of this email and any attachments, which may be con- - - fidential, are sent for the personal attention of the addressee/s - - only.
