"No robots.txt file" I'm told, but I have one?
"You have no robots.txt file. Spiders check this file to see if any parts of your website should not be spidered." This is the message I get for this page from spidertest dot com But I have a valid robots.txt file on the server, why do I get this message?
The page in question is this one - http:// design.tmhdesign . com /tasty_tuscany |

All bots (except maybe Googlebot) only accept robots.txt if it is in the ROOT of your domain.
Of course this means that you'd also have to add /tasty_tuscany in front of every disallowed dir, so they would read: Disallow: /tasty_tuscany/databases/ etc. If you don't have access to the root, you might want to ask the owner of that to include your lines. Alternatively you can add the robots meta tag, but that would have to go on ALL your disallowed pages... Lot of work.
