Hello,
I have my own meta searchengine (usepad.com). But suddenly my searchscript seems to get ignored by the server I connect to.
But there are really strange things going on.
First of all:
If I gather the requested page on let's say altavista, I get the full html document from that server. But the only thing that is screwed up, are the search results that I want to filter. It says something like: "can't connect to MySql database through socket" This line is replaced by the location where normaly the search result would be.
Second:
I placed the script on another server to see if my domain name or IP adres was blocked. The script worked without a problem on the other server.
What could be the problem?
Did they bust me? I doubt it, the searchengine I use has about 40,000,000 hits a day. I 'only' have 100,000 hits. So that's hard to notice for them.
If my domain name or IP adress seems to be blocked, is there a way to mask it? Can I hide the HTTP_REFERER that the remote script can see?
Many thanks for all your help,
