  • Error Inserting Search Code Into Larger Page

    I'm trying to use the code given in the user manual to insert a search box into each page of our intranet site (slightly amended to suit our directory structure):
    <form method="GET" action="search/search.asp">
    <input type="text" name="zoom_query" size="10">
    <input type="submit" value="Search">
    </form>
    When I try to do a search I get the following error:
    404 - File or directory not found.
    The resource you are looking for might have been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable.
    I swear "search.asp" exists in the "search" folder directly below the file with this code in it. Can anybody help me figure out why this might be messing up?

    Thanks a bunch.

    Try using the full URL to the search.asp script.
    <form method="GET" action="http://www.yoursite/search/search.asp">

      I did try that but with no better luck. :/ I even tried reinstalling as CGI and doing it that way but it still says it can't find the file. I know it's the right path because the browser will let me go to the search_template.html in that directory - it just won't search via the HTML form. Works fine when I use the default search page provided by Zoom, though.

      I'm on Windows Server 2008 if that makes any difference. Any ideas?

        Strangely, switching to PHP seems to have solved this problem.

          Maybe ASP was not enabled on your server, and PHP is?
