Bugs » The PageRank checker is working wrong

added on Feb 14, 2008 by Barlow
When I'm checking the links, I have a problem with the PageRank that is showing "0" instead of the actual
value. Also this issue appears on many sites.

hi,

I assume you run the latest version of LinkEX? What OS are you using on your server?

> Also this issue appears on many sites
What do you mean by that? You heard others with the same problem or you have this problem with all the links on your
LinkEX?

Hello,

Since of today, all our websites that use linkex have the same problem. All the websites we check have Pr0 instead of
the real Pagerank.

I run linkex on some other servers as well (all with version 20071229) and there isn't any problem.

It looks like a server configuration problem, because all versions are the same on both servers.

Here is some server information from Linkex:

Server where it isn't working right:

Server infoPHP version: 5.2.5
Zend version: 2.2.0
GD Info: bundled (2.0.34 compatible) - GIF Support: enabled
Server OS: Linux

LinkEX infoLinkEX version: 20071229
Current version: 20071229 (Force upgrade)

Database size: 588.4KB
Links: 230
Install date: 15-10-2007

Server where it IS working right:

Server infoPHP version: 4.4.4-8+etch4
Zend version: 1.3.0
GD Info: 2.0 or higher - GIF Support: enabled
Server OS: Linux

LinkEX infoLinkEX version: 20071229
Current version: 20071229 (Force upgrade)

Database size: 716.01KB
Links: 548
Install date: 2008.01.22


Thank you in advance.

hi,

thanks a lot for the info. Can you please make me a phpinfo() page?
In case you don't know how; create a new .php file, enter this into it:
<?php phpinfo(); ?>
and upload it to a public area of your server, and give me the URL for it, so I can check it out.

You can email or ICQ me the URL http://linkex.dk/about/contact.html

Thanks again.

Hello v0id,

I found the problem with this PR0's.

I had the same problem. When google blocks request as "automated" there is no response including
"Rank_" method getRank in PageRank class return -1 but after that You use

$this->pagerank = max( $pr->getRank( $this->rurl ), 0 );

which assigns to $this->pagerank value 0 which is wrong. I suggest when PageRank->getRank return -1 linkex can
automaticaly skip page rank check to not suspend link. My linkex site was victim and it supspended many links.

To avoid this situation I wrote my own manager to check pagerank on another servers. I configured Linkex to MinPageRank
= 0 and I am deleting links from external script when I detect "correct" pagerank.

If any questions please feel free to contact me.
