These all look like view cart, checkout and Referrer links to me, maybe you have hard coded the links in the template and that is causing the issue. The links with SHOWCART are generated by clicking on the View Cart button or by NETQUOTEVAR:NAVBCART. The other links are checkout links that are broken. I would suggest you do a complete refresh of the site and then see if this fixes the problem with the links.

Kind regards,

My problem is the following. I have used Xenu software to check if I have broken links on my website. On the result I see that for all these pages I get broken links with 404 error. For example :
acc1.jpg
error code: 404 (not found), linked from page(s):
http://www.supreme.fr/cgi-bin/ca0000...WCART&REFPAGE=
http://www.supreme.fr/cgi-bin/os000001.pl?ACTION=Commencez%20!&REFPAGE=
So in order to cancel this error, I would like to know what I must change on the page : I confirm that the acc1.jpg is on the site.
Thank you

If the file is there, then Xenu just timed out before loading the file - this happens quite often with Xenu - I always run the analysis twice and pursue only the links that are common to both reports. On an image file, it may mean the file is too big and could do with better compression.

Thank you. Yes I confirm that all the files are there (on /acatalog directory). I have run the analysis twice and each time I get the same error message. This errors are for image in .jpg or .gif, flash in .swf or html pages. I have about 20 error messages : this items are called from other pages (index.html ... ) and there no problem ! So I don't think that the mistakes come from Xenu, and I would like to find the way to stop this problem ??? Is it because this pages with the link are on the cgi-bin dierctory ?

I think the problem is that Xenu goes to the cgi-bin but then cannot find all the images.

This is because all the images are within the 'acatalog' folder.

It is the <Actinic:BASEHREF ... command (in the <head> section of the page) that tells the perl scripts where to find the images in order to display them properly. Xenu does not understand this link, as it is actinic-specific, and so reports the images as missing.

Didier,

You can add an exception in Xenu that tells it not to follow http://www.supreme.fr/cgi-bin/ links (at the bottom of the File | Check URL page).

Yes but there is a French proverb which says that it is not sufficient to break thermometer to stop the disease ! If this error have no importance for my visitors, I can let this. But it can be a problem for Google and other robots. So ???

**wjcampbe** · 07-Dec-2005, 09:55 PM

I am confident it is only XENU not understanding the path through cgi-bin and there will be no effect on users. I have cgi-bin marked for exclusion on my xenu checks and have never had a user complaint about images.

Thank you for your help.
