Link verification question...

Link verification question...
 Whenever I run the link verification, it only lists 30 links max. Does anyone know what I would need to do to get it to check all of the links?

You got no answer to your question it seems - while i have the same question, !!!!!!!

Anyone a Gossamer or in this forum having a better solution to this issue???

I use Xenu Link Sleuth to quickly find broken links, that works just fine, but finding them in a seperate software program means also manually check and delete them 1 by 1, at some 380 dead links no fun to me.

A database riddled with dead links is just no good.

Anyone any ideas please on how to improve the situation at Links2 on this???

Hi,

Have you tried running via SSH/Telnet? Sometimes (in fact - a lot of times =)), running via SSH or Telnet can stop timeout problems.

Code:
cd /path/to/your/admin/folder
perl nph-verify.cgi

..or for the "detailed" option, try this:

Code:
cd /path/to/your/admin/folder
perl nph-verify.cgi 'detailed'

Hope that helps.

Cheers

Yeah sure, i have seen this all before.
For telnet and MS word something jobs i have no understanding so it's to complicated, and there is still the trouble of eventually removing deadlinks.

If they have to be removed by hand then i am faster with Xenu and just copy each faulty URL and open both data files,
links.db and url.db in wordpad and simple run the search function in both and remove the lines where the urls are found in both and then back upload the cleaned out files.

Still, 360 dead links to check by hand, a Sysiphus job in this age of automated technologies.

A better, real pro solution would be a script added to links 2 that can actually run all by itself and check links, output say a monthly report on which ones had a extensive downtime and in this report window (in the admin panel) each of them had a delete radio box plus a delete all selctor to it and that's it.

Sounds easy for someone who can't write cgi scripts all by itself, but i am sure there are pros out there that can do this before breafast, anyone at Gossamer perhaps???
