Crawler Status Shows 1969 Year, no pages crawled

Hi,

what does it show if you click the manual button twice or thrice after page refreshed ?

and please provide the report number , you can get it in toolbox -> report -> click “send to LiteSpeed”

Best regards,

Report # is QQNQXVCB. When clicking the manual button 2 to 3 times the Watch Status date remains the same. If I delete the meta files and hit the manual button those files aren’t regenerated. Seems to only create the files when the crawler is scheduled to run.

please try , set “crawler interval” from 302400 to shorter time , like 61 or 121

then wait for 5 minutes , and hit manual button 2/3 times , see how it goes

I tried your suggestion and the results remain the same. I even took out the custom sitemap URL and deactivated and reactivated the plugin. I will say that on occasion when I hit the manual button I get a critical error message. Refreshing the page however does reload just fine. The error log shows this message “PHP Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Undefined constant “LiteSpeed\CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER” in in /public_html/wp-content/plugins/litespeed-cache/src/crawler.cls.php:673. Do you think I might need to verify or install particular PHP extension?

emmmm? no , I don’t think so

curl is very-widely used extension , and should you have it already , otherwise I suspect you won’t even be able to install wordpress without it

may I know what is your PHP version ?

and if you create a php file with code:

<?php
$ch = curl_init();
$options = array(
  CURLOPT_URL => $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] ,
  CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => true,
  CURLOPT_HEADER => false,
  CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST => 'GET',
  CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION => true,
  CURLOPT_ENCODING => 'gzip',
  CURLOPT_NOBODY => false,
);
curl_setopt_array( $ch, $options );
$result = curl_exec( $ch );
var_dump($result);
curl_close($ch);

then access it by browser, does it generate any error log ?

Best regards,

Currently running PHP 8. I tried 7.4 as well and still no luck. Accessing that file in browser generated a 500 error code. When I checked the log file this is what was said.

[23-Oct-2021 01:25:44 UTC] PHP Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function curl_init() in /public_html/phptester.php:2
Stack trace:
#0 {main}
thrown in /public_html/phptester.php on line 2

I really appreciate the help. This is actually a client’s site of mine so I wouldn’t feel comfortable generating any log in information. Plugin works great otherwise and I would love to have the crawler working but if it can’t be resolved through troubleshooting perhaps it might work later down the road with an update.

hmmmm???

that error looks like you don’t have curl extension ? is that even possible ?

please try verify it with phpinfo page…

Wow… I wouldn’t have thought it possible either. Easy Apache says that it was installed but when I checked the phpinfo file you’re right it wasn’t there. So I reinstalled, and now have the correct date. Something must’ve been corrupted I guess. Thanks so much for help!! The crawler is working great now ??
