Into the end, no have problems, i rebuilding all links (3240) with 19 ~25 segunds, not have problems, all categories is ok, all subcategories is ok, all pages is generated, all permissions is ok, all is ok . EXCEPT FOR the new sites added is not see, not is marking how to new, it does't appear new sites per day....Noting for new sites... I run several tests and not see a soluction. When i change a server i note problem with a date format

fatal error: invalid date format: 02-Aug-01 - parsed as (day: 2, month: 7, year: -1899). Reason: Can't handle date (0, 0, 0, 2, 7, -1899) at /home/.sites/122/site482/web/cgi-bin/links2/admin1/links.cfg line 173

I have searched the forum and found the fix provided by designerx in Jan:-

*********************************
Strangly enough the solution is absurdely simple. In your links.cfg script you would make one alteration... you simply add a 1 to the end of the $year

So for example on (my line 292) in links.cfg It would look like:
$time = &Time::Local::timelocal(0,0,0, $day, $months{$mon}, $year1);

instead of:
$time = &Time::Local::timelocal(0,0,0, $day, $months{$mon}, $year);

I think, my problem with no marking a news links is possible directly it is related to the problem with dates of the Unix. I use a Perl










Please i need a avanced assistence.

Thanks for your time,

Quirino
