Hi folks,
I'm sorry for the short notice but I have intervened and disabled
supersearch.cgi as follows,
chmod a-x /home/earle/openguides.org/london/supersearch.cgi
chmod a-x /home/earle/openguides.org/manchester/supersearch.cgi
chmod a-x /home/earle/openguides.org/reading/supersearch.cgi
I have never edited permissions on anyone's files on any site without
being requested to so this is exceptional. I didn't receive any plans
on how to fix this issue since I highlighted it 21 Oct 04 and with
about 20 instances of this process driving the load over 25 just now I
took action.
Feel free to switch it on at your discretion when you feel it's not a
liability anymore. Please let me know when you do this.
(For those curious about the extent to which a process has to go to
to bring this machine down, it's a 1.8GHz P4 512MB RAM and RAID0
7,200rpm disks.)

Here's an interesting mail I received. I'm not sure if Mr. Denny thinks
there's just one OG for the whole UK, but anyway, what do you all think? I'm
a little unsure about the idea of autosubmitting things from a network of
search sites, and even less sure about using someone else's business
listings database.

Hi Earle,
I wanted to make contact preliminarily with you to discuss using the UK
Open Guide content with you. We run "Local Search" or internet yellow
pages sites, both for the UK and across Europe. We would like to start
augmenting the base directory content (we license BT's directory
database), adding in reviews, ratings, etc.
Your content will obviously fit well within this, and that is the first
reason for contact. At some point, Secondly, we'd like to have it set up
so that all reviews submitted through our search sites could make their
way back onto the Open Guide sites.
Finally, as we have all of the business listings for the UK, including
latitude and longitude, it may be easier for people to use our site to
search for and submit a review - no need for knowing postcodes, phone
numbers, X/Y coordinates. Just pop in the name, and click on the right
one.
We would put these up on some or all of our white label clients' sites.
These include www.118118.com and www.yellownet.co.uk.
Please let me know if you would like to have further discussions on
this.
Best Regards,
Bart

Can we have a Wiki for an Openguides FAQ? For example, the inverted
index problem I just had would be a good one. Location of the Debian
packages could go in there.
UseMod is a single-script and requires no database. Would be suitable.

I'm getting these errors while making changes:
Sorry! Something went wrong. Please contact the Wiki administrator at
openguide(a)rumble.net and quote the following error message:
Search::InvertedIndex::add_index() - Unable to locate the existing
'ie_first_index_enum' value. Database may be corrupt. at
/usr/share/perl5/CGI/Wiki/Search/SII.pm line 127
What gives? Can I rebuild this index?

On my Openguide, type "millenium" into the search box:
http://engineer.openguides.org/supersearch.cgi
You get the two millenium bridges, but not the Millenium Stadium. Type
Carfidd, and you get it. What's going on here?

I've found Jesus. He was behind the sofa the whole time.
Incorrect spelling of Millenium in the stadium one. Doh! Sorry about
that.
