Ran the robots.txt validation checker and recieved nothing but errors.

I recently read an article snipped on robots.txt. They have provided a link to robots.txt validator. Well, I checked my robots.txt and faced something similar the first time I did.

I went back to the article:
snipped
and saw that I missed some instructions given along with the link-

"Please note that the full path to the robots.txt file must be entered in the field"

I was checking:
www.example.com
whereas I was supposed to check www.example.com/robots.txt

A very simple error which would put your home page to the test rather than the robots.txt file. Well, I guess that this could be a well expected error in usage on the user's part because they have put a small reminder right next to the url field:

"Enter the full url to the robots.txt file on your server" (http://www.searchengineworld.com/cgi-bin/robotcheck.cgi)

I hope that solves your problem.
