wow, setting db.max.outlinks.per.page immediately fixed my problem. It looks like I totally mis-diagnosed things.
May I pose two questions: 1) how did you view all the outlinks? 2) how severe is NUTCH-119 - does it occur on a lot of sites? ----- Original Message ---- From: Doğacan Güney <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: nutch-dev@lucene.apache.org Sent: Tuesday, June 26, 2007 10:56:32 PM Subject: Re: NUTCH-119 :: how hard to fix On 6/27/07, Kai_testing Middleton <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I am evaluating nutch+lucene as a crawl and search solution. > > However, I am finding major bugs in nutch right off the bat. > > In particular, NUTCH-119: nutch is not crawling relative URLs.

Both this one and the other site you were mentioning (sf911truth) have more than 100 outlinks. Nutch, by default, only stores 100 outlinks per page (db.max.outlinks.per.page). Link about.html happens to be 105th link or so, so nutch doesn't store it. All you have to do is either increase db.max.outlinks.per.page or set it to -1 (which means, store all outlinks). > > > > > > ____________________________________________________________________________________ > Park yourself in front of a world of choices in alternative vehicles.
