AG,
We did some tests with your ZCFG file.
The file you sent us had 13 start points to begin with. We ran a full index on this, and it succeeded to index 12 out of the 13 start points. The last start point returned this error message:
This is correct behaviour. This last start point in your list was already indexed by your second start point (http://www.troid.org/).
We then removed 2 of the start points, returning it to the 11 start point configuration you mentioned. We ran a full re-index with this configuration, and it succeeded without problems (11 out of 11 start points were indexed).
We then used the "Incremental" -> "Add start points to existing index" option to add the 2 start points back, again following your description. This also ran without problems.
So to conclude, we did not see the same problem you appear to be having.
But here are some points and possible explanations for what you are seeing:
- As we saw above, you may have been adding start points that were already indexed by your existing start points, and thus, Zoom skips over them. This is expected and normal.
- Did you check/read the error messages that popped up in red in the Index Log? Particularly near the end of indexing. These message would tell you why Zoom stopped indexing. It is important to make note of these messages.
- Some of the domains you were indexing from may have been down during your indexing session. Or your own Internet connection may have been unavailable. There should be error messages in the Index Log which indicate download problems if there were any. Note that you can save the index log to file (see "Index Log" tab in the Configuration window) if you wish to search through your index log in more detail via Notepad etc.
- We noticed one minor problem with the Status reporting "Start points indexed: 1 / 2" when performing an incremental add start point with only 1 start point. It should say "1 / 1" (the number of incremental start points reported in the status is one more than the actual), we'll fix this. It does not appear to be related to your described problem though. Unless you were basing your counts on this.
If you continue to have problems, please take note of the Index Log messages, and check what reason Zoom gives you as to why a start point was not indexed. Save this index log and send it to us as well if you can pinpoint the problem.
