he can see ppl online but xant see their post
really wierd pls help!!!!

[monzamess]

Wow, I have no clue what's up with that. The host was doing some maintenance this morning so maybe you caught the site at a bad time?

Make sure you're using http://forums.h-body.org and not any other URL. [Note: When I listed an alternate URL, that was just to read the site until your ISP changed over to the new host--like I said, it won't work with the forums.]

[DjTy]

dennis, maybe a line in his "hosts" file if he gets redirected to the temporary stuff?

he also tried to flush his dns?

can he email a screenshot of what he gets Ozzy? printscreen, paste in mspaint, save as jpeg file for size and attach and email dennis/colin.

[ozzymoose]

k will ask him to get a screen shot for you, see how we go.... andhe IS typing the new url only to get diverted to the old or clone site, he has done the cookie/netfile/and full puter clean... will keep you posted

[ozzymoose]

well here it is with current date on it.... but no newposts since the 4th apart from his.... that we can not see on the proper site... all sooooo strange... ps couldnt get the topbar in as he had to email it to me.

[ozzymoose]

oh yeah admin... i stillhave it saved in my email ir you would like me to foward it pls email me

[monzamess]

Alright, here's my diagnosis.

Two screwy things have conspired to lock AusRs in his own alternate h-body universe.

First, on Sunday, the admin at the old host (where we got kicked out) turned the account back on so I could download a backup. He was supposed to turn it back off after I was done, but it appears he did not. So that account works. Almost no one sees it, because they're sent to the new location of h-body.org.

Second, AusRs is being directed to the old site for some reason. When it was turned off, he would have just seen the "suspended/disabled" page, but after it was turned back on, he sees the old site, his own personal playground.

To address this problem:
1) I've disabled the old site (just moved the files, no hacking or damage) and removed the subdomains including "forums.h-body.org." Maybe once his ISP sees this site is missing, it will refresh its DNS.

2) AusRs should again clean his computer's dns cache as follows: Go to Start->Run... and type in "ipconfig /flushdns"

3) If it's still failing, a diagnostic he can run is this.
Go to Start->Run... and type in "cmd"
In the command window, run "ping h-body.org"
and post here or email me the output.
He can also try "tracert h-body.org". Cut and paste the info or just do another screen cap if you have to.

[monzamess]

Looking at the raw access logs, I see two people going to the old site.
1) someone at CPE-139-168-102-72.nsw.bigpond.net.au
2) someone at CPE-143-238-240-123.nsw.bigpond.net.au

I'm guessing that's AusRs?

[ozzymoose]

Monza Mess--

yes both of them would be ausrs.... as bigpond has a dynamic user ip.

UPDATE--- ausrs has done eveything, and still to no avail
the following is how it reads after eveything.



Dave

Ok, AusRs's ISP is not updating its DNS or something.

First, he needs to send a note to his ISP support and say:

"Your DNS is resolving the hostname h-body.org as 67.19.21.202, however, the site was moved to 216.120.237.103 last week. The admins at h-body.org have checked the logs and can verify that I am the only one still going to the old site--everyone else has been pointed to the new site for a few days now. Please check if your DNS is being updated."

Second, AusRs can temporarily fix the problem by forcing his computer to resolve h-body.org with the new IP address.

First, find the hosts file on your computer.
Windows 95/98/Me c:\windows\hosts
Windows NT/2000/XP Pro c:\winnt\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
Windows XP Home c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
Other OS: google it

Next, edit that file and add these lines to the end of it:
216.120.237.103 h-body.org
216.120.237.103 forums.h-body.org

Then restart your web browser. If you run the "ping" test again it should resolve h-body.org to the new 216 address.

Once your ISP fixes itself you should remove these lines from your hosts file to prevent any future problems.
