      Should the spider component be running as a windows service at regular intervals to index the site?

      Hi

    How do I check to make sure if CmsApplicationContext.AuthenticateAsGuest() is set up to work?

    I opened the project and hit Run but it didn't create the directory.

    Can someone please guide me?

    Regards,

    Yoshi
