Verifying Links
I've just set up and everything works fine so far except 2 things:

1) Unable to verifying link by clicking Quick Check, got an error msg as follow:

Link checking started at: Tue Jun 27 16:58:30 2000
--------------------------------------------------------
Registering URLs ...

Done.

Links to check '22' using HEAD method. Please be patient...

Content-type: text/html


CGI ERROR
==========================================
Error Message : Fatal error: Not a GLOB reference at /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.00502/i386-bsdos/IO/Select.pm line 204.

Script Location : /usr/home/bloodrush/bloodrush.com/cgi-bin/links/admin/nph-verify.cgi
Perl Version : 5.00502

2) I've tried to submit a link and validated it thru the admin page and everything looks o.k. but why no email was send out?

Anyone can help... many thanks!

1) Make sure that the Validate.pm module file is uploaded in the SAME directory where your nph-verify.cgi file is located. AND this script will only work if you HAVE links in the links.db file.

2) You need to make sure that the following variables are set to 1 in the links.cfg file:

Code:

$db_email_add
$db_email_mod


LIKE the following:

Code:

$db_email_add = 1;
$db_email_mod =1;


Also, make sure that you put a valid email address in the following variable:

Code:

$db_admin_email


LIKE the following:

Code:

$db_admin_email = 'youraccount@yourdomain.com';

links.db is where you LINKS entries are stored. IF you have one, it should be in your data directory.

Hi,

I found the link.db in my data folder, so how to make sure that my Validate.pm have a link to link.db?

I ran quick again and got following msg:
