Verifying Links
I ran the Verifying links (quick check) function, and first, I get the following message at the beginning:

==========
Verifying Links
Link checking started at: Tue Jan 9 21:07:21 2001
--------------------------------------------------------
Registering URLs ...
100 200 300 Parallel::UserAgent can not handle ''-requests. Request ignored! at /home/sites/site17/web/cgi-bin/links/admin/nph-verify.cgi line 170
Checked - Request Failed (501). Message: Unknown Scheme:
400 500 600
Done.
==========

What does that mean? What do I need to configire or re-configure, or whatnot?

Line 170 of nph-verify.cgi is:

==========
$url = $checker->load ($url);
==========

Then it goes on to check the links...

==========
Links to check '630' using HEAD method. Please be patient...

Checked 170 - Success (200). Message: OK. URL: http://members.aol.com/nfey/blood.htm
Checked 61 - Success (200). Message: OK. URL: http://members.aol.com/RAVEN10151/Vamplink.htm
==========

...and so on... BUT, it stops after 350 links. I have 642 links in the directory. (Hmmm, so how come it tells me that it has 630 links to check?)

That means the script is timing out...either ask your hosting company to increase your CPU usage rate above 60 seconds or execute the script via telnet. Don't know how to do that? Search the support forums for telnet execute script.

Because the way that the verify script works is the total links are first calculated and then they are verified one by one.

I've just installed Links 2.0 on my UNIX virtual server account, and I get the following error when I try the Quick Check or Detailed Verify links in Links Admin:

Request Failed. Message: IO::Socket::INET: Cannot determine protocol.

My server has Perl 5.00502 and I have the LWP modules installed; for a full list of installed modules (since I don't know if I'm missing something else), see:
http://aitcom.net/support/library/What_modules_are_installed_with_Perl_5.00502_.html

Any suggestions?

The newest NPH-VERIFY.CGI uses Socket NOT LWP. So, you probably do not HAVE SOCKET module installed.

Re: Verifying Links In reply to
Thank you for the clarification. My web hosting company informs me I have the following "Sockets" modules installed:
usr/lib/perl5/5.00502/i686-linux/IO/Socket.pm
usr/lib/perl5/5.00502/i686-linux/Socket.pm
usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005/LWP/SecureSocket.pm
usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005/LWP/Socket.pm
usr/lib/perl5/5.00502/i686-linux/auto/Socket/
usr/lib/perl5/5.00502/i686-linux/auto/Socket/Socket.so
usr/lib/perl5/5.00502/i686-linux/auto/Socket/Socket.bs

Is there something I need to configure before Links 2.0 can "see" the proper Sockets module?

Thank you for your time,
