[opencms-dev] Administration module "Check external links"

[Lex van Sonderen]

Hi All,

We did a little more investigation about External Links Checking

One is supposed to invoke the External Link checker as a cron job:
>>
* * * * * admin Administrators com.opencms.file.CmsLinkCheck
<<

After that you can see the result in "Check External Links" (which could
indeed use a better label):
>>
/system/galleries/externallinks/pwi_links/KIWA, http://www.kiwa.nl, failed
checks: 5
/system/galleries/externallinks/links/Rensen, http://www.rensenreg.nl,
failed checks: 5
/system/galleries/externallinks/links/Aquatech_Amsterdam_2004,
http://www.aquatechtrade.com/amsterdam/, failed checks: 5

failed checks: 5

However, in my case all the links are reported as failed, although they are
fine.  Probably something needs to be configured in tomcat or so....  Does
anybody understand that part?

Best, Lex
