on-stjohn.com server down?

[patr]

I have not been able to access on-stjohn.com for two days, "cannot find server" What's up?

I am having serious withdrawals!

I'm able to go to their website.

I've been able to get to it too.

It seems good from here. Though, when I clicked on "What a dump" in my RSS reader I got linked to the advertisement for Seascape Villa. I was a little confused until I scrolled down to the story on the dump.

Cheers, RickG

Well crap!

I checked all of my settings, nothing has been changed. I had my DH try it on his laptop - he can't get it either!

As long as you are typing "http://www.on-stjohn.com/" it's probably a problem with your ISP. You could give them a call... or you could try diagnosing it yourself. Non-Geeks should skip the next part.

<Geek>
Get a command window on your computer and type "nslookup www.on-stjohn.com". It should return "208.97.128.5" If it throws an error or returns with something else it's a DNS problem. If you see the correct IP address (208.97.128.5) but still get an error that looks like "Site Temporarily Unavailable" then its probably a problem with your ISP using a non-RFC conforming proxy server and mangling the HTTP request - comcast is the worst offender here, but Verizon FIOS fiddles about as well.

On-Stjohn.com is provisioned as a virtual server, so the web server needs to know the domain in order to serve the right page up. Here's the information about the server obtained by a gentle probe:

Server: Apache/2.0.61 (Unix) PHP/4.4.7 mod_ssl/2.0.61 OpenSSL/0.9.7e mod_fastcgi/2.4.2 DAV/2 SVN/1.4.2

Good luck.

Thanks Rick -

Here's what I got:

Documents and Settings\Pat>nslookup www.on-stjohn.com
*** Can’t find server name for address 192.168.010: Non-existent domain
*** Default servers are not available
Server: UnKnown
Address: 192.168.01

Non-authoritative answer:
Name: www.on-stjohn.com
Address: 208.97.128.5

Now what to do?!

[RickG]

Well, DNS looks okay. I would consider clearing browser cache, are you using Microsoft Internet Explorer?

But, the weird thing is that this is not working on two machines? I have had to reboot my router/firewall to clear this kind of thing up.

Weird.

Cheers RickG

[patr]

Okay - I'm going to shut down and try that.

I did of course reboot the computer to no avail.

Will let you know later . . .

[patr]

YEAH - SUCCESS - Thanks Rick!!

[crash]

RickG;

Thanks for that info.......I tried at home and was getting that same message (I am comcast). So I did a terminal services into my server at work (T-1 Verizon) and low and behold it popped right up so I will do what you suggested and clear out the home router.

God forbid Bevm does not have access to something from the VI......me too for that matter.

Thanks again!!!

Beneath this placid utility-like Internet is a castle of cards, spit and rubberbands. Sometimes it takes a little shaking to get things to work. It's a little scary that technology that I worked with in 1984 is still basically running the Internet.
