Problem with the Test Links

[sbastian]

Hello,

The results of the "Test links" are correct, except for links to official websites like .gouv.fr for example (it is a site of car-school).
The links are provided in error (while these links are perfectly valid) instead of nothing or note (at worst)

My log is very long to read and it becomes difficult to "track" the mistakes, especially when they are unjustified...

Is there a solution to "whiten" certain addresses so as not to be embarrassed with the "Test Links"

With my great thanks,

Stéphane

For that I would have to see the log.

I don't know where to retrieve the log of the Test Links in cmsimple_xh...

below : copy paste of on-screen data to a txt file and then zip

Friendly, Stéphane

You can go to the XH settings at the bottom under "more",
to specify how many redirects the link check should follow.
First set it to 1.
Then the messages with 301 or 302 should be gone.

There you can also set that mailto or tel links are taken into account.

Then see what's left.

In the case of errors where the statement is "the domain does not exist", I would suspect a DNS problem with the server.
To test this, you could run a copy of the page locally and run the link check there.

[sbastian]

Actually with the parameter to 1, there are no more errors...

I am attaching also the debug-log when you start the test links...

It's still not cool...

Code: Select all

Failed to open stream: HTTP request failed! - /home/vindretcwy/www/cmsimple/classes/LinkChecker.php:314

It is always the same error.
Only, nothing has been changed in the link check in 1.8.
The only thing is that you can see the error in the debug log.

Basically, my statement remains: the server cannot access the domain.
DNS, perhaps also firewall?

Try a local copy and see if the error appears there too!

[sbastian]

uh...

My question may be silly but how do you run a local copy ? on an apache installed locally ?

I don't have it on my PC ?

Can you introduce me, PLEASE ?

You must have installed a local server.
E.g.
https://www.apachefriends.org/ for Windows
https://www.mamp.info/en/mac/ for MAC
Then you can run any website (copy) locally.

[sbastian]

Thank you Tata for the info Xampp.

Still, I struggled for many hours before I see my site in local !!!
security issues already with the install, and then the parameters of the communication port, and finally with the SSL ! (not https, and disabling my .htaccess...)

Once you overcome all the obstacles, Xampp is very nice...
Thank you again !

Because it is thanks to Xampp that I could see that the idea of Olape was good ("I would suspect a DNS problem with the server...") locally I only have 1 error and 2 notes...

Thank you Olape for your insight !
What can I do now on my DNS OVH, so you will not have these dozens of errors unjustified, with the test links ?

I am a bit bewildered !

That's just a suspicion. There are certainly other explanations for this behavior.

Test this:
curl_test.php

Only change the last five lines, one line at a time without comment characters //
and call up the file.

If the result is: "6 - Couldn't resolve host name" as with "https://cmsimplexh.webdesign-keil.de/" ?

Code: Select all

<?PHP

ini_set( 'display_errors', 1 );
error_reporting( E_ALL );

function curl_test($Url) {

    if (!function_exists('curl_init')){
            die('Sorry cURL is not installed!');
    }

    $agent = ($_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'] ? $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'] . ' ' : '')
           . 'cURL-Test';
 
    $ch = curl_init();
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $Url);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, $agent);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 1);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 5);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT, 3);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FRESH_CONNECT, true);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, true);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_MAXREDIRS, 2);
    $output = (curl_exec($ch) !== false
                    ? curl_getinfo($ch)
                    : curl_errno($ch)
                      . ' - '
                      . curl_strerror(curl_errno($ch))
               );
    curl_close($ch);

    return $output;
}
