For the past few months (and it may have occurred for a much longer time — I just never paid attention) I have observed an anomaly in the Pages pane. If I select the tab Entry and then any time increment, from Show All to 72h, I get a list of pages with numbers to the left. The numbers for all the pages listed range from a few hundred to almost a thousand. But the top page in the list, which changes for each time increment, is usually in four or five figures.

For example, if I click Show All, I see a page titled “Little Known Facts” with 25,800 next to it. If I click 48hr I see a page titled “Chocolate” with 17,555 next to it, and so on. In each time increment there is a different page at the top with a very high number but the second page listed is only two or three digits. The page at the top is always much much smaller if it is in the list at all in the previous time increment, which makes no sense. So “Little Known Facts” suddenly goes from 385 at 48hr to 25,800 at 72hr and “Chocolate” which was at 17,555 at 48hr disappears off the list at 72hr, yet the second highest at 72 hr is only 680.

I don’t use the Pages pane data but wonder if the errors there point to a problem elsewhere in Mint.

After much experimentation I found that unchecking the option:

Trim www and index.* from urls

in the Default Pepper seemed to start populating the “resource” column correctly again.

I’ll monitor and see if this fixes the Pages display problem.

@Colin

I just unchecked the trim option in Default Pepper 2.09 and nothing changed. I’ll monitor it awhile and report back. You mentioned a “resource” column. I don’t see that in my Pages pane or in any of the other panes.

I don’t watch the Pages pane much - I’m mostly interested in Visits and SERPs, but it’s installed as part of the default so I was concerned that the numbers anomaly in Pages might indicate a problem somewhere else. But everything else appears to work fine so it may just be a small error in the Pages pane code.

This problem sounds consistent with moving from a 32-bit server to a 64-bit server. Any chance you’ve done this recently?

You can use this script to change the problem columns to the correct sign and update their content’s checksums for the new server architecture (just upload the unzipped script to your Mint directory and visit it in a browser).

Thanks, yes did a good job for me too.

(Not related to moving to 64 bit, just the index trimming feature, now turned off for this site)

This should be added to the FAQ. I was ready to delete mint and start from scratch as well.

Agreeing with the above sentiment. It’s probably something you want to try and highlight. I wonder if you could catch this sort of server change automagically?
