www.seeks.fr cannot be reached, search is then no longer working.

I get the following message in my logfile:

Yes, it is down forever. There was a plan to host it elsewhere, need to look at it again. I can basically point the domain wherever someone is willing to host it.

[Quix0r]

How much traffic does it consume?

[beniz]

Not much, a query per second at max, the project is not popular enough anymore. A protection against googlebots and other common crawlers is best to avoid useless traffic.

[Quix0r]

Or can you OpenSource them? Means that everyone can host their own scripts? I can put them on my server, I have this PHP version there:

PHP 5.4.39-0+deb7u2

[beniz]

The historical php script is already in the repo:
https://github.com/beniz/seeks/tree/master/resources

[Quix0r]

So I basicy have to run a seeks proxy on my server as I understand it? Okay, I'm currently improving the script a lot as it seems really rudimentarily written ... :-)

[Quix0r]

Okay, it is now here:
https://seeks.mxchange.org/search.php (only self-signed, I know).

search_exp.php ist still needed?

[beniz]

I don't believe you need search_exp

[beniz]

your setup seems to work fine, though slowly, probably one of your search results source is slow.

[Quix0r]

Okay, I see it also being slow. I have activated some more sources.

[GreenLunar]

I use https://seeks.ru/ which seems to be one of the longest running Seeks nodes.

[Quix0r]

Hello @GreenLunar you can run your own seeks instance but you have to modify etc/seeks/cf-config (and create a backup file so you can easily restore it after you have updated seeks).

Then find the lines with "cf-peer" and replae all with:
cf-peer http://seeks.mxchange.org/search.php bsn
cf-peer http://seeks.ru/search.php bsn

Then you have my node and the other one and can benefit from both node's peer lists

[Quix0r]

I have changed cf-config and still I'm getting this:

Jun 22 16:01:11.019 7fd01dfc3700 Error: curl error on url http://www.seeks-project.info/search.php/search/txt/abc123/1963566387?lang=en: Connection time-out

[Quix0r]

Found another one:
query-capture-config

cross-post-url http://seeks.mxchange.org/search.php

[beniz]

seeks-project.info/search is down forever

[GreenLunar]

https://seeks.mxchange.org/search.php (only self-signed, I know).

@Quix0r, please make https://seeks.mxchange.org/ (Error 403) to redirect to https://seeks.mxchange.org/search.php

[Quix0r]

It doesn't seem to work. I added a simple index.php with a redirect to search.php, not working. You end up in seeks proxy message.

Edit: Okay, the "header(Location: search.php); seems to mess around with seeks' internal handling of URLs. I have now setup a meta-refresh which seems to work. :)
