I gave up on the program and decided to have another go at it..

The program crawls the site fine and ignores folders and files fine..
The trouble:
after crawling the whole site, it adds an additional trailing slash ' / ' re-crawls again.
Then it adds a third trailing slash ' /// ' re-crawls again
Then it adds a fourth trailing slash ' //// ' re-crawls again
Example:(not in order like this- just example)
http://www.lakesidecanvas.com/about.html
http://www.lakesidecanvas.com//about.html
http://www.lakesidecanvas.com///about.html
http://www.lakesidecanvas.com////about.html

I uninstalled the program, reinstalled.. no change
Using registered version 5.1, Build 206
The url is http://www.lakesidecanvas.com

I must be doing something wrong, but have no idea what that might be.
I read all the posts and didn't find the same issue, tried searching the CC site...
any pointers would be great..

It looks like an issue with your server, but I am not exactly sure what just yet. The good news is the links will still work. I will log it into our system to see if we can figure out the exact cause.

well, I can provide any additional info you might need..
I am on bizland / bluedomino / accountsupport

One thing we did notice David is you have a lot of invalid markup on your Website.

Example:
http://www.lakesidecanvas.com/lakes/wills_creek_hm.html

You have some links like this:



You should not use ../ in front of a link. It should be a / You do this on your Website in a lot of locations and this is what was causing all of the extra slashes to appear.

Just out of curiosity Scott, isn't that how you reference a folder that is above the directory the page you're working on is in? Using the ../ I mean, or do I have that mixed up, most likely lol

You always use a slash to reference a file/folder. Never ../

Example:

If you want to reference a page in the FOLDER3 area it would be:

<a href=/folder1/folder2/folder3/page.html">

You always link to the root folder and then to the sub. NEVER use ../

Wow that's good to know, I learned something new already today lol. I've always used ../ to reference relative paths to things up one directory from the file I'm working on. Lots of tutorials out there that say that's how to do it so that's how I've done it for a long time. Old habit that will now be changed, thanks

yea, I have invalid everything on that old web site. Mine is the last to get any work.
It's needed a make over for years..
I guess I have been using ../ for many years on relative up stream paths. I can't remember where I picked that up at..

So this is another PEBKAC "Problem Exists Between Keyboard And Chair"
Just when I think I don't know anything, I find out it's actually true..

Send a big thank you to all the people that spent their valuable time on my ignorance.

Nah that's not ignorance dave, it's just what we learned to start with Can't say we were doing it "wrong" just not the optimal way
