Moved from http to https and site can no longer be indexed

[Dixie]

Hi folks

We have moved from having just the sign in system to a non-public website in https to the entire site being https. I have added the "s" to all references to the site index page in the config file but it won't index. Error message states "Could not download file: https://pvhonline.org/pvh.aspx?p=index (Invalid URL or domain name). It then displays an error message box "Check the URL exists ... " and logs an error message "No files found to spider from https://pvhonline.org/pvh.aspx?p=index"

Was working fine with http URL when we last indexed the product a weeks ago.

Please note that we initiate a search by allowing temporary access by means of a config file on our server. This is switched off when the indexing is complete.

Also - we have had a request from a customer to whom we send a copy of our off line product to provide a PHP search version. (We currently provide ASP and JS versions). What's involved with making a PHP search page compared with the ASP version? I know nothing about PHP.

Yes, it is bit strange.
Zoom V6 seems to be failing the HTTPS SSL handsake protocol on your site. But I can't exactly see why. Other HTTPS sites work OK with Zoom.

But the good news is that we changed to a new HTTP engine in V7 of Zoom and that seems to be working OK. So try that,

PHP is just another scripting language. If you know ASP, then PHP won't be too much of a surprise. We support both ASP and PHP.
