Missing Date in Search results

[scs0325]

I'm using Zoom (cgi) to search my external website which contains jsp pages. I'm running Apache 2.2/Tomcat 6.0 and in the httpd.conf, I have the following:
LoadModule headers_module modules/ApacheModuleHeaders.dll

When I run the indexer in offline mode, the date is showing in the search results. When I run the indexer in spider mode, the date is not showing in the search results. How do I get the date to show in spider mode? Thanks.

I assume you have the date display turned on when you are using spider mode?

Can you post the URL for one of the page on the external website so that we can examine the HTML and HTTP headers to see what date(s) are being returned by the site.

The site is www.southernstates.com. Here is a sample URL. http://www.southernstates.com/sscinfo/news/0308_vaagweek.jsp. In the results layout tab, I have date selected.

Your JSP pages are not setup to return a Last-Modified date. This means there is no useful date returned by your web server to the spider.

I would recommend consulting your web host or server admin for more information.

You can either configure Apache to return a Last-Modified date for the actual JSP script file on disk (by default, Apache will not return modified dates for any file requiring server-side processing).

Alternatively, you can add code to your JSP pages to return a HTTP Last-Modified header or Last-Modified meta tag. See chapter 7.7 in the Users Guide for more information on the latter option.
