Crawling Local site

[Nicram-Badatflyski]

Hi,
Firstly: thank you for this tool, this is really a great help to analayze a website, especially for amateurs.

Then: Tried to crawl the local website (http://localhost/index.php) that is being build on WampServer with defaut settings (port80)
The tool stops at index.php (first page) and give "Problem with DNS analysis: Crawler\Analysis\DnsAnalyzer::getDnsInfo: nslookup command failed."

is there a way to be able to crawl locally?
Thanks.

Hi @Nicram-Badatflyski,

I'm glad our tool helps you ;)

Local domain name resolution is handled differently on different platforms and SiteOne Crawler cannot respond correctly in all cases.

In this situation, I recommend 2 possible solutions:

• try http://127.0.0.1/index.php
• or tell the crawler what local IP address and port the domain should be (in this case "localhost") - for this you can use --resolve and in your case specifically --resolve='localhost:80:127.0.0.1'
