Standalone Crawler gives error for redis

[stewartmckee]

Hi Shehbaz,

It does require redis, even for the standalone as it uses this to handle queues of crawled, queued urls and the statistics, i'll look at the documentation for this,

thanks,
Stewart.

Thanks for the quick response, here is the exact text:

CobwebCrawler

CobwebCrawler is the standalone crawling class. If you "don’t want to use redis" and just want to crawl the site within your ruby process, you can use this class.

Thanks again.

Ok, I've had a look, Redis is required in the code, its the documentation thats wrong. I'll update the documentation, sorry for any confusion and thanks for pointing it out.

Its something I would like to have, ie not requiring redis for standalone version, so will look to add this back in the future,

thanks,
Stewart.

Think it was a typo redis > resque...

CobwebCrawler is the standalone crawling class. If you don’t want to use resque or sidekiq and just want to crawl the site within your ruby process, you can use this class.

Thanks and if I can help in that let me know. Thanks

sudo apt-get install redis-server would help you (yes, it's for linux).
