Spidering and ColdFusion

[kpa]

Not sure if this is a local condition for me but I've tried to index two sites where the start/default page is a ColdFusion page (.cfm). In both cases ZOOM 7 reports that no file was found to spider from. (Never tried it with V6 so I can.t say if it ever worked) Any suggestions welcome.

Should work fine.
I did a quick test on a few different .CFM sites with V7 and didn't see any problem.

In Configure / Scan Options, do you have .CFM as a file extension to scan?
Could the robots.txt file be blocking the indexing of the site?
Do you have the URL correct in Zoom?
Are there any errors in log, besides the message you mentioned?

I've verified that I can browse to the sites (here's one http://www.injurynet.com.au/) - there are no exclusions in robots.txt that blocks the ZOOM crawler. CFM was included in my scan options. There are no skips. DL thread #1 sits there for a few seconds reporting a connection but doesn't progress beyond 0% (it aborts indexing). The logs show a warning "Could not download the file: http://www.injurynet.com.au/ [Invalid URL or domain name]". The error log is "No files found to spider from http://www.injurynet.com.au/"

That site worked OK for me. A copy of the log is below.

Maybe you have a firewall blocking the connection.
Can you E-mail me your configuration file.
