How do I know if the ping module is working correctly?

I have enabled it, I received no errors, and nothing shows up in the logs.

Thanks.

I think Ping-O-Matic is having problems. This is the site that the module pings which in return pings other sites. If someone knows more, please let us know.

I see, thanks.

Am I supposed to see any kind of info in the log? Regardless of whether it's working or not? So far I see nothing at all. So I have no idea.

I'm not an expert on this module. However, I have observed that this module is ran when the cron is ran. I have noticed an occasional error when the cron is ran. Though not all the time.

How did you notice that this module has been run? Is there a log entry? Or did you see your posts pinged on other sites? Thanks.

When the RSS feed updates, you should see something like: There is new syndicated content from TikiWiki in the logs.

Are you sure you have a cron running properly. In the logs you should see something like Cron run completed. If you don't see this try running cron.php manually and see what you get ( http://example.com/cron.php ).

I can see that cron is configured properly and running since I get messages that say "Cron run completed" in Administer > Logs > Filter by message type = cron messages

But I don't see any ping messages per se. Any suggestions?

Thanks,
