DNN database blob file

[Dji_c]

Hi,

is it possible to index files stored in database ?
ZSE index my DNN website and files who are store in files server, but it doesn't index files stored in database.

Have you got an idea ?

Thx

Zoom can index files served by a server-side script (whether the file is stored in a database or otherwise). For example, a URL such as "www.mysite.com/download.aspx?file_id=32" which serves a PDF download will be indexed correctly provided the indexer is configured accordingly.

If your website is online, can you give us a URL to such a file for us to see what's happening directly?

Possible reasons why it's not indexing the URLs include:
- The URL is not being found by the Spider Mode
- The URL is being skipped due to Indexer configuration
- The URL in question requires a login/cookie/authentication to serve the file
- The URL in question is not serving the file as you expect when it is not being requested by an unknown user agent (i.e. it may only serve the file for the browser you are using)

There are many other possibilities, so it is often most helpful when we can see the URL in question.

The URL is like http://dnnsite/LinkClick.aspx?fileticket=Q28nawZZvn0%3d&tabid=957

The file for example is PDF file.

I meant the actual URL, so we can see how your site responds and what "LinkClick.aspx" actually does.

The above does not tell us if the page may reject an unrecognized client, require authentication, or fail to provide the necessary content-type header, etc, etc.

Also, are you sure this URL is being crawled? Does it appear in the "Log" tab of the Indexer during indexing? If so, is there an error message or any indication that it was indexed or skipped?
