Ok, I've got it to run correctly now. I am running into errors like these though while it is running. Is this normal or do I need to do something differently?

Ok, I ran it again with different arguments and now I have a deadlinks folder. However, when I try to run it for a category with many pages, it hangs. If I do this:

>python weblinkchecker.py -cat:People

It says

Retrieving 240 pages from mywiki:en.

And then it doesn't do anything else. Even 30 minutes later it had not changed.

Later I tried again with this:

>python weblinkchecker.py -cat:People -step:5

And it says 

Retrieving 240 pages from mywiki:en.

and hangs, just like before.

I did a search for "deadlinks" and "results-mywiki.txt" and did not find those files. There is a "logs" subdirectory in the core_stable directory, but there is only one file in there, a text file called "commands." Should this deadlinks subdirectory exist now, or will it not be created until I run the bot a week later?

look for the subdirectory called deadlinks
it contains all data generated by the bot
results-yourwiki.txt - a bot log (text)
deadlinks-yourwiki.dat - a bot database (dump of python dictionary)
 so You can see what is going on

Ok. I had added some dead links to the user page and was testing to see what it would do. Thank you!

Hi,
all the examples are in the script help.
You have to run it on a list of pages not just Your user page
the bot will create a database of the links it thinks are dead.
the bot will only report links as dead if they are found dead at least twice several days apart. Default is 7 days.
So once You run it through the whole namespace You will have to wait some days to rerun it.
You can set the rquired period with -day  parameter
but less than a week does not make sense as it will report dead link for a temporary problems with site

Hi all,

I'my trying to run weblinkchecker from my own computer. I've logged in to the bot account, but when I try to run weblink checker, like this:

>python weblinkchecker.py UserPage:usernamegoeshere

I just get a very long bunch of help text on the screen "This bot is used for checking external links found at the wiki" etc. I don't know if I'm successfully running the script or not, and whether it's actually checking any links.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks!
