-- popen, pclose & exec()
Hi Christine,
popen, pclose are PHP functions used by my script to launch the queue server and fetcher processes. They are called in src/library/CrawlDaemon.php . You only need them at crawl time not search time. So if you crawl on your laptop (where you can make sure you have them) and move the index to your installation on your hosting site, you will still be able to serve query results. Hope this helps.
Chris
