  • I still can access WAB by the normal way

    As I explained last night, I still can't access WAB the normal day.

    I am still pick-a-backing LCol.

    Request some remedy.

    Clear all internet files, it fixed it for me. If that doesn't work it's still because there's some servers that the server information is being propagated to. Basically the house (WAB) got moved, received a new (IP) address , and some people (DNS servers) are still giving out the wrong directions on how to get to WAB. It takes some DNS servers a little longer to get proper directions to the WAB server.

      No luck so far.

      Will wait!

      Anyway, I can help my local network provider to get it set?

        No... I think it may have to do with the fact that you're half way around the world. Did you try clearing all your internet files?

          What does that mean Ray? How are you accessing WAB right now?

            Ironduke,

            I have cleared all Internet files, history and cookies and every thing.

            Another interesting thing is that I have posted in the thread "Surge" (US politics). It shows that my post is the last one, but when I open the thread I don't find my post!



            Asim,

            I am accessing WAB by going to:

            thecol's (from WorldAffairsBoard) related information - Forum Discussion Search with BoardTracker.com

            which was by luck and through desperation.

              I have checked again if other forums open.

              All other forums I visit are opening OK!

                  Great Success !

                  If you can see this page, then the people who manage this server have installed cPanel and WebHost Manager (WHM) which use the Apache Web server software and the Apache Interface to OpenSSL (mod_ssl) successfully.

                    Okay, Ray:
                    1st question, what software are you using, Explorer, Firefox, Safari?
                    Things to try:
                    1) Clear all private data, ie cache cookies etc, then shut down your internet software (explorer or whatever) then go to your email and click on one of your links from a PM from WAB, I'll send you one just to make sure you have one, you might be diligent at deleting old messages.
                    2)Tell me if this works or not.
                    In the realm of spirit, seek clarity; in the material world, seek utility.

                      Ooh man that's super odd!

                      Let's do a little guess work here. Probably your Internet service provider (ISP) is messed and/or the proxy server you are being routed through is stuck up somewhere, do you go through a proxy server?

                      Aha,

                      Another ISP related problem might be a messed up DNS server. Normally when you type in website names into your browser, your ISP gives your browser the corresponding IP address of the server that website is on.

                      My best guess is that since WAB's servers been shifted your ISP hasn't gotten the updated tables about what name corresponds to what IP. They'll refresh it soon, probably or you can nag them to do it now.

                      Meanwhile try typing in the ip address itself and browse.

                      Goto:
                      Code:
                      http://66.29.113.65/index.php
                      I got the IP right?

                      I think this is the problem.

                      Just edited the ip address since it kept converting it into a hyper link.

                        That message usually comes when you just install Apache. So WAB was removed from the old hosting, so they must've reinstalled - In this case, with cpanel... For experiment's sakes one of the Admins can input the old IP address of WAB and see if it points to the New install page!

                        Meanwhile Ray should get his ISP to resolve this issue - It's not necessarily their fault, it could be just that they didn't receive the updates from ICANN. I had this happen to me with one of my own sites! It took a week to resolve!

                          We changed the DNS so the domain points to 66.29.113.65 (which is the new server IP) before we moved WAB over and the cPanel page you posted above would have shown on this IP until that time.

                          The cPanel page you posted is no longer on any of the IPs that WAB has run on (old or new) so it sounds like your ISP, proxy server or local cache has cached data of 66.29.113.65.

                          Everything on this end looks okay from what I can see so you will need to ensure you clear your cache. Try doing a hard refresh under Internet Explorer using Ctrl + F5.

                            Hmmm sounds odd that the ISP would have cached data and wouldn't be able to refresh it even after several requests...

                            What's on the previous server now? if you type in http://previous_server_ip_address?

                            Obvious thing you should do for troubleshooting experiment is that you should try accessing from a different computer in your house, and then try from a neighbors. Just to be sure the problem is not with your own computer or house connection.

                              The old server still has a copy of WAB running with the configuration updated so that it connects to MySQL on the new server. We will be removing this in the next week or so. The cPanel page was running on the new IP but it is not running anywhere on this end now. It has to be cached somewhere downstream.
