Hello there,

It's now more than 10 days that google (I suppose) is requesting that URL every 5 minutes. That stupid bot still doesn't know that thing generates an error, but it regularly reset my Application Pool -> Some memory overload (I think) !

So I already asked Google to stop that thread on this URL, but I doubt they can do anything, so I have to find now where that thing could be referenced ? An example of the DNN's log is below :-)

Thanks for any suggestion....

Upon Further investigation (note I still don't know why google goes down this sort of file path):

I can recreate the crash. This will crash the dotnetnuke.com site and will give yellow screen of death:

http://www.dotnetnuke.com/MessageBoard/tabid/183/forumid/1/scope/threads/www.dotnetnuke.com//MessageBoard/tabid/183/forumid/1/scope/threads/www.dotnetnuke.com/MessageBoard/tabid/183/forumid/1/scope/threads/www.dotnetnuke.com//MessageBoard/tabid/183/mid/567/groupid/1/Default.aspx

To recreate this on your site simple search and replace www.dotnetnuke.com with your domains URL.

I don't know whether this sort of error can be trapped or not.

So in summary two outstanding issues then

a) Trapping the yellow screen of death error
b) Cause of error (why does google go down that route?).

Comments?

Off topic: Also i have problems with Googlebot, he/she cannot visit my Forum pages, has anyone encountering similar issue with Active Forums module?
