only have 2500 links in my directory, but using the build options, the build appears to only complete the build if I use "build staggered"

If I had 1 link and try the build changed, the build does not complete

is this the reason / too many "new links"

Building Subpage: 2003-01-15 ... 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 271 links ok.
Building Subpage: 2003-01-16 ... 3 links ok.
Building Subpage: 2003-01-17 ... 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 342 links ok.
Building Subpage: 2003-01-20 ... 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 460 links ok.
Building Subpage: 2003-01-21 ... 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14

the build appears th STOP at this point.....

added / imported 1,000 new links yesterday (import/build staggered/all went well)

any advice / help please

Sounds like a server/browser timeout issue. Your best bet is to run nph-build.cgi via Telnet/SSH, or use the staggered build option.

Q: would the build changed work if there were less "new links"

(should I go into the links table and change the "lsql_Links.Add_Date" so that the links were not "new"?)

(is it best to go into the links table with MySqlMan - edit these dates?)

Q: how do I run this nph-build.cgi? (I have "shell" software - to date not used - except for "logging onto server" to see if / hoe this "shell" software worked)

There is not reason to use "build changed" after your first import.
As Andy suggested use "build staggered" if you notice browser/webserver timeout.

"build changed" is for the case when some changes were done, and only some pages need to rebuild. In that case, will likely not timeout your browser.

BTW: Andy is that correct?: by default the Apache Timeout is 300 seconds(5 minutes). I'm not Apache expert so I'm not sure in that.
As I know, browsers has a timeout of 30 seconds to 2-3 minutes. I know for sure, that Netscape 6/6.01 timeout limit is 2 minutes. I did read, that Internet Explorer cancels the connection after about 5 Minutes when no data is sent.

Nah, I don't think the new links are the problem...its just the script executing :-/

Regarding the running via SSH, you would need to type the following command;

perl /path/to/admin/folder/nph-build.cgi --all

Or...

perl /path/to/admin/folder/nph-build.cgi --all &

If you felt like logging off :)
