Checking Links
Hi Andy,
all my links are intern, means they point to different files on my website.
Now I had to delete lots of files and I'm trying to check and delete the link entries.
But link checking shows on all deleted files
Success (200). Message: OK 200I think the link checking script is redirected to the error page and thinks they file is still there!
Is there a workaround for this problem?

I think the problem is my .htacess file, which redirects all 404 errors to an error page.
Is there a way to have both.
1. a redirect to an error page
2. a working check links function

I think the easiest way is, to delete the redirect in the htaccess just for the time the check link script works...

Hi,

Yeah, try commenting out that line in your .htaccess first, and then see if they still give 200 status's.

Thanks Andy, I will check this :-)

Just another question on deleting link entries.
If a deleted link has some reviews, are they deleted as well?

Yup, reviews should be deleted along with the link when you delete it :)
