Errh Mark, these sites have been up and operating for a good while. We
don't seem to be experiencing ANY kind of 'routing/naming problem'. When
I tried your suggested ping, telnets, and lynx - I was able to easily and
reliably connect from/to intwiz.wizards.net and www.nurse.net.
I tried to isolate the problem by again trying your previously
suggested ./geturl http://www.nurse.net/index.html
which for reasons I don't understand (like THAT has never happened before
<s>) is now working fine.
I backed up and tried to index my nurse.net site with my originally
mis-behaving ./gw http://www.nurse.net/index.html
and it ALSO now works fine. The only difference that occurs to me is
maybe running it in the evening before had my Apache Web server maxed out
with forked child servers - but that doen't seem terribly likely.
Anyway, on to a couple other questions.
- is there anyway to get gw to index all the sites on my one machine?
Some of them cross-reference one another, and gw labels those links
as off site and doesn't pursue them. Any way to instruct it
otherwise? Or perhaps a clever work-around?
- Using the gw -o option on one of my sites, I hit an (old) link that
references a now non-existent host. When I was running gw, it would
get to this link, try to access that page, and die. I tried
re-running it as gw -o -xhttp://old-bad-link-URL http://my-site-URL
but it still tried to access that same page and died. I corrected
that link on my offending page, but why didn't gw just mark this
as a non-retrievable page (especially with the -xhttp://... option)
and proceed?
Thanks for all your advice, Layne
