Can anyone help with this? My Gsite has become an ornament, it looks
good but does nothing!

It opens ok, when I add a project it goes through the process new
site wizard, then the Crawler-watch windown opens, then
nothing......... It just sits there, for hours and hors and hours.

Does anyone have any ideas? I do have a firewall, and have been
meddling with it, but as far as I can see Gsite is not blocked in any
way.
Can anybody suggest a few options, as I miss it!
Thanks

If you have followed the instructions for Vista and it's still nor
working, I suggest you uninstall the program and get a fresh copy and
re-install it properly. Do this under an admin user account.
Run it as admin, set all GSC programs to run as admin.

Make sure your serevr is not blocking this robot.

in winhttp.send(): -2147012892 an internal error occurred in the
microsoft windows http service" Does this mean anything to anyone?

Sorry, no idea. But it sounds like a firewall block.

You have some malformed navigation links on your site.
Use Xenu Link Sleuth to find where they appear and fix them. Only
check internal links, not external at this point.

When you run Xenu you get to see a list of all urls. When you see one
of these long urls with duplicated query strings right click it and
see on which pages there may be links to it and check the source code
of those pages in the browser to see just where the link occurs.


For instance this url
http://www.nippyseek.com/?lang=en&action=terms&section=acceptable_use_policy/?lang=en&action=terms&section=terms_of_service
has a link to it on each of these pages:

http://www.nippyseek.com/?lang=en&action=terms&section=acceptable_use_policy
http://www.nippyseek.com/?lang=en&action=terms&section=acceptable_use_policy/?lang=en&action=terms&section=privacy_policy
http://www.nippyseek.com/?lang=en&action=terms&section=acceptable_use_policy/?lang=en&action=terms&section=domain_name_dispute_resolution_policy
http://www.nippyseek.com/?lang=en&action=terms&section=acceptable_use_policy/?lang=en&action=terms&section=service_level_guarantees
http://www.nippyseek.com/?lang=en&action=terms&section=acceptable_use_policy/?lang=en&action=terms&section=domain_name_registration_agreement
http://www.nippyseek.com/?lang=en&action=terms&section=acceptable_use_policy/?lang=en&action=terms&section=acceptable_use_policy
http://www.nippyseek.com/?lang=en&action=terms&section=acceptable_use_policy/?lang=en&action=terms&section=order_verification



Aha, but it's really just one page:
http://www.nippyseek.com/?lang=en&action=terms&section=acceptable_use_policy

So view source code and find that the hyperlink in this paragraph is
bad:

This Acceptable Use Policy (AUP) is an integral part of the Web
Hosting Terms of Service which each customer agrees to abide by when
signing up for an account with our web hosting company. Any violation
of this AUP will be deemed a violation of our Web Hosting Terms of
Service.



Lower down the links in this list are all also bad:

1. System Abuse

2. Spam and Spamvertizing

3. Inappropriate or Unlawful Content

4. Copyrights

5. Corrective Actions

6. Reporting Violtaions

7. Revisions



Fix that page source code and you'd have fixed your problem of what
bad links are found during a crawl - at least those originating on
that page.


Repeat the process for any others you may have.
