This had been reported in LinksSQL 2.X quite frequently.
Here i am on Glinks2.99.1 and have tried rebuilding in all combinations, repaired table deleted the index file rebuilt again but the count is still stuck on the old number... everything else on the home page gets updated but not this.

It shows up fine in dynamic mode.

Any clue?

Thanks

grrr, the worst sort of bug, one that only happens some times. Any clue on how to duplicate it?

Adrian

I remember, that the repair function did not always work.
It uses some algorythm, which does check subcategories if there was a change in the link number.
If there was a delete and an add action, so the category number is not changed, then will not recount the numbers.

This is something I barely remember, but I think the bug should be something similar for the total count.
I don't have time to check the codes now, so that's all I can tell you at the moment.

Clueless right now.
If i do the build from ssh it's always fine ... it's only the http build that the inconsistency comes up. From http, it's also the last build time which gets stuck on "not the last build time" quite often.

Perhaps it's a mod_perl issue.

Adrian

hmm looks to be the case. i did a rebuild as under plain cgi mode and found that the last rebuild time was updating fine. Any suggestions to have it going under mod_perl?

Thanks

Try editing nph-build.cgi, and add the following to the top of main():

Adrian

Hi.

ISE
Global symbol "$GRAND_TOTAL" requires explicit package name at

admin/nph-build.cgi line 34.\n

Thanks

Oh, and add $GRAND_TOTAL to the use vars list

Adrian

Done. The last_build_time got updated correctly on three trial runs. More on links count when i have new one's added.

Thanks
