links in search cause links to stop working entirely

[sdweim85]

I made a website that uses the zoom search engine, and I'm using it a little differently than usual and its giving me this weird problem

The website is

www.digifind-it.com/Montclair/home.php

when you use the search (search general) then click the untitled link it just brings you back to the homepage, then none of the links work at all. They just stack up in the address bar at the top of the browser whenever you click anything.

The search is just crawling the website itself, and is a CGI.

Are you indexing in Offline Mode or Spider Mode?

Are you using the Rewrite links feature (under "Configure"->"Indexing options")? If so, what are your settings?

Did you specify your own Base URL? If so, what is it?

It is quite strange because the URL for that search result is:
http://www.digifind-it.com/Montclair/home.php/Picturephp/0001-0104.php

Now I don't see where that link came from on your website. The closest link to that on your website is:
http://www.digifind-it.com/Montclair/PicturesPHP/0001-0104.php

Zoom would not change the URL by itself. Something must be wrong with your configuration or usage (e.g. the aforementioned rewrite links feature)

The most likely scenario I can think of that would cause that behaviour is if you are (mistakenly) using Offline Mode**. And you have the wrong base URL setting***. And your local folder name does not match your online folder name (note that folder and filenames are case sensitive on the internet even if they are not on your computer).

**You can't use Offline Mode to index PHP files generally (as explained in the Users Guide), because PHP pages are server-side scripts that need to be executed by the web server's PHP engine for them to generate the HTML output you see in your browser. So if there is any scripting at all in the PHP files, then you need to index them with Spider Mode over HTTP.

***Your base URL is probably http://www.digifind-it.com/Montclair/home.php/ when it should be
http://www.digifind-it.com/Montclair/
