Administrative and Maintenance Tools - Link Checker Bot

Custom Link Checker Bot 1.0

I have decided to code my own link checker bot.

This link Checker Checks links from....

• Rapidshare
• Mediafire
• Megaupload
• Easy-Share
• Netload
• Depositfiles

To install....

1. Upload all of the files in the "upload" folder

2. Open the product-dlc.xml in Notepad or Wordpad.

3. Place your forum username in every username="" tag you see.

4. After that you can import the product.

5. Setting up a cron to make it run automatically. Set up the cron here. admincp>scheduled tasks>add new scheduled task

Use these variables.

Varname: dead_link_checker

Title: Dead Link Checker Bot

Description: Checks for dead links and adds them to graveyard

Log Phrase: dead_link_checker

Set how often you want it to run

Then

Filename: ./includes/cron/dlc.php





Please post comments and feedback here.

Seems to me there are quite a few errors...

Saving the settings:

Not Acceptable

An appropriate representation of the requested resource /forum/admincp/dlc.php could not be found on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

However, the file DOES exist. My root website is not located at /, so it needs to be changed so it doesn't use absolute paths.

Running the checker (I wanted to test it):

Warning: curl_setopt() [function.curl-setopt]: CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION cannot be activated when in safe_mode or an open_basedir is set in [path]/includes/cron/dlc.php on line 60
Link Found Dead

Now, I have been in my php.ini, and open_base_dir is defined. Shouldn't I leave it defined for security issues?

Thanks for your effort
somtimes the thread contain one dead link only from many other active link
somtimes also in the post replay there is the correction of the dead link by active one
but the mode adds them to graveyard
what it the solution
best regards

On a side note, will we ever get a "Edit this thread with update" ? I would rather have the thread intact with just an edited post with the deadlinks removed.

hello i got this working on my site but it only runs when i tell it to and it not when i have it in scheduled task how can i get this to run with out me running ???

[lighthazard]

Have you set up your cron job correctly alloutvb?

[alloutvb]

yes we have another question for you would be say it scans 10 links at a time or whatever when you run it does it just scan 10 and then thats it or does it scan 10 links at a time and do the whole site? im not really understanding that part
