    Subdirectory search not working

    I've just purchased the Professional edition of Zoom and successfully used it to search a website in offline mode.

    I have a site that I would like to use Zoom spider mode to only search a subdirectory on and I'm getting an error messages when I ask it to search:

    http://mysite.com/news/

    I get an error message that says "Check that the URL exists and satisfies the settings in the configuration window"

    or I get a "no files found to index" error.

    When this subdirectory was first set up, the Meta codes to keep the pages out of the public search engines was added:

    <META NAME="ROBOTS" CONTENT="noindex,nofollow">
    <META NAME="ROBOTS" CONTENT="nocache">

    I have removed this from multiple pages, but I am still unable to run Zoom successfully. Any ideas on what I am doing wrong?

    Thanks.

    Figured it out

    Unchecked the "use robots.txt" and it now appears to be working.
