Index Server to Search Intranet

External Since: Apr 14, 2004 Posts: 2

I have code that uses IIS to search the intranet site
upon a users request. I moved the intranet to a new server
and now the search function does not work. I have started
the indexing service,created the catalog, and am trying to
use the old code. I get the following error "HTTP 405 -
Resource not allowed
Internet Information Services". It works when I test it
using "Query the Catalog" in Computer Management, but now
when accessed from the intranet home page. I have the 3
files necessary - .htm, .htx, and .idq. My .idq file looks
like this:
[Query]
cirestriction=(%UserRestriction%) & ! #vpath *\_vti* & !
#vpath *\_private\* & ! #vpath *\_derived\* & ! #vpath
*\_themes\* & ! #vpath *\_overlay\* & ! #vpath
*\_fpclass\* & ! #vpath *\_borders\*
ciscope=/
citemplate=/search/results.htx
cicolumns=DocTitle,filename,vpath,size,write,rank
ciflags=DEEP
cisort=Rank[d]
cicatalog=C:\Catalog

The .htm code looks like this:
<html>

<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;
charset=windows-1252">
<meta http-equiv="Content-Language" content="en-us">

<title>Intranet (H-Net) Search Form</title>
<meta name="GENERATOR" content="Microsoft FrontPage 4.0">
<meta name="ProgId" content="FrontPage.Editor.Document">
<meta name="Microsoft Theme" content="none, default">
</head>

<body >

<p> </p>

<h1>Intranet (H-Net) Search Form</h1>

<form action="../_vti_bin/shtml.dll/search/index.htm"
method="POST"><input type="hidden" name="VTI-GROUP"
value="0"><p><b>Search for: </b><input type="text"
name="search" size="50" value></p><p><input type="submit"
value="Start Search"><input type="reset"
value="Reset"></p></form>

I do not understand the form action line in the above code
and wonder if maybe the path has changed on the new server.

Can anyone lead me in the right direction? I can post my
other two files too if that would help.

Server OS version? URLScan installed or IIS6 and Index Server not
allowed as a web app?
