Make sure the directory for LWP is all caps and not Lwp. Also ensure that all the files in that directory and its subdirectories were uploaded in ASCII.

I checked the LWP Directory it is written in capital Letters (if I understood "all caps" the write way) and I uploaded it again in ASCII just to be ure. But I still recive the same error message.

Make sure the directory structure looks like this and that the file names are correct:

Quote:
cgi-bin/admin/LWP - drwxr-xr-x (755):
cgi-bin/admin/LWP/Parallel - drwxr-xr-x (755):
-rw-r--r-- (644) 7718 Protocol.pm
-rw-r--r-- (644) 46228 UserAgent.pm
cgi-bin/admin/LWP/Parallel/Protocol - drwxr-xr-x (755):
-rw-r--r-- (644) 17938 ftp.pm
-rw-r--r-- (644) 12540 http.pm

I hope this helps.

I doubel checked directory structure and the file names they are all ok, the permission settings as well. Every thing is running fine, just this "verifying links" is still not working.
what is it for anyway? just to see if the linked url is still there ?

Yes, it is designed to help the admin find broken links because the URL no longer exists or has changed. However, Alex has indicated that he is dissatisfied with the performance of the verification process and was going to give us a new version. It just isn't available yet.

So, the best is to wait for the new version.
thanks a lot for your help
