Googlebot & Spiders

[JLHC]

Ha, I get this often, you just have to go to "packages" and choose "standart files are writable".

Hi,

It is set at "Only the standard files are writable.".
Or do I need to change anything for that?

Thanks.

Yes, click "Change file permissions" and give it your FTP information.

Err, but I already have the FTP information in the "Installation Options" and i already chosen the "Only the standard files are writable." in the "Cleanup Permissions".

Do you mean you want me to cleanup?

[Chadrew]

Sorry, I'm not sure we are understanding each other. I'm not ever sure if it's the same problem. But I always have the error with "corrupted" files when in fact it's because some files are not writable.
See:

[JLHC]

I just tried that, but still the same thing came out.
Are you using SMF 1.1.4?

[Chadrew]

 Yes. I guess it's something else then? And I was so sure. I always get this problem when my package directory and the files in it aren't writable.

[Rabain]

I'm trying to install this but I'm getting the following error:

You cannot download or install new packages because the Packages directory or one of the files in it are not writable!

When I check my Error Log the message is:

2: packageinstall(/home/xxxxx/public_html/Packages/temp/./code.php) [<a href='function.packageinstall'>function.packageinstall</a>]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory
File: /home/xxxxx/public_html/Sources/Packages.php
Line: 552

However Packages.php is in that directory and writable.

Anyone got any hints where I can start looking to resolve this?

[SA™]

im not sure but got to your server and brouse to the packeges directory and see if there is a temp folder there if not create one and it should work

Forgive my ignorance on this, I didn't want to read 71 pages on this topic. I have had this mod installed for some time. I can see the spiders. Is this mod supposed to prevent spiders from getting on the board? If so, I haven't seen how to do this.

[Smith6612]

It's doing what it's supposed to do, and the mod doesn't block out Spiders.

[MRM4]

Thanks. I just wanted to make sure I was getting out of this mod what I was supposed to.

I need urgent help for this because it generates insane amount of errors.

[cortez]

Come on, anybody?

[JLHC]

Well, I think my problem have been settled.
I don't know why and I don't know how, either it is SMF 1.1.4 or my theme, now I can view bots and spiders visiting my site in the 'Who's Online' page.

Thank everybody for helping me out.

[Smith6612]

I don't think you have been able to view the spiders in the Who's Online list. I've been running the mod for ages, but someone can correct me if I'm wrong

Here is the screenshot, noticed that 'ia_archiver' is an Alexa bot and Google spider.
I'm not using this mod, it detects spiders and bots automatically (I don't know how, maybe its SMF 1.1.4 or my theme).

Sorry for my question.
I have just installed this MOD "Googlebot_v2_0_3_only_smf1.1.x.zip", the install was successful.
But I don't know how to use it, there is no change to my forum main index.
Do I have to set anything in the ACP and how to do that?
Thanks.

[Bigguy]

In the admin section under Features and Options is where you will find the configuration options for googlebots and spiders.

I see that option, but what is standard options?
I use the default value but nothing shown at my forum main index.
Is it possible to test that function at localhost?
Thanks.
