sjwinslow Posted December 13, 2007 Report Share Posted December 13, 2007 These type of errors can be caused by several things:1. Other sites linking to your side did not copy the link correctly when the published it.2. Someone tried to edit a link to your site in their browser address line and made a mistake.3. A transmission error garbles a link when someone is connecting to you site.4. You may have broken or incorrect links on your site causing these errors.Only the last one do you have any control over. You can try some tools available to try to help you locate any broken links you may have on your site. But since most of the links are created dynamically by the TNG PHP scripts, this is unlikely unless you have pages you have created manually or some code has been corrupted.Example: http://home.snafu.de/tilman/xenulink.htmlI hope that helps.Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjwinslow Posted December 13, 2007 Report Share Posted December 13, 2007 I guess I would also say that since you are seeing these errors as a result of Google crawls, that the second cause I listed above is not valid for Google. Also that you can have links messed up if you have media, pictures, headstones, etc. that have links pointing to them but you don't have the media loaded on your site or the link is named incorrectly. Watch out for capital and lower case differences. This can happen if you are uploading from a windows system to a Linux system. As Windows doesn't care about case but a Linux server is case sensitive.When I look a diagnostic reports I try to look for errors that occur over and over and investigate why they are happening.Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has been running for 20 minutes and is only at 20%. It might take awhile. The point you make about Windows vs Linux is definitely a possibility since my server is Linux based. I will also check those media links. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are these files part of this program that I downloaded and can I delete them from my server? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjwinslow Posted December 18, 2007 Report Share Posted December 18, 2007 David,I'm not sure what those files are from but the name could indicate a core dump from the server. If your hosting service provides good service you may want to send them the file names and have them determine if it's ok to remove them.Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were dump files from the server. I contacted them on Friday and they finally answered me today. They removed the files.Thanks,Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
