[support] messed up URLs

[Metzler, David]

Looks like path_auto is(or was) in use, noticing that
links/equipment_tools_supplies_farm looks very much like a path_auto
generated URL.  My guess is that there might be some collision between
path_auto links generated by the taxonomy vs. path_auto links generated
for the content.  This is just a guess, but you might try examining your
path_auto rules here to make sure the same prefixes aren't being used
for taxonomy terms vs. pages. 

As a corrective step, you might consider disabling path_auto, then go in
and "administer url aliases" to remove some of the bogus or conflicting
aliases.  If you find a colision on the path_auto rules, correct the
collision and force an update of all links and taxonomy links. 

Another thing to check and report back on is, "Where are these 404's
coming from?"  What is the referring page (If you can find that in your
web server logs).  Give you a clue as to the source of the navigational
error. It could also be relative links in embedded content created by
tinyMCE or some such.  Viewing the source of the refferring page ought
to help you track that down.  Does the source contain the double links?


Good luck.

Hello,
My apologies in advance - I've been trying to find a solution to the
following issue. I have a feeling the answer must be in the forums but I
can't seem to find it. 

I've noticed from day 1 of using Drupal that I have an unusual number of
404's due to URLs that do not exist. Portions of the URL path do exist
but not the full URL. Example:

/links/links/equipment_tools_supplies_farm

"links" exists as does "links/equipment_tools_supplies_farm" but not the
full URL

I don't know where these are coming from.

My install is Drupal 4.6.3 with the following modules:
atom - not in use
contact_dir
event
feedback
flexinode
forms
image
img_assist
node_metatags
pathauto - not in use
print
scheduler
sitemenu
survey
taxonomy_access
taxonomy_context
tinymce

A nudge in the proper direction would be most appreciated.

Thanks
Gregg
