If anyone is online, and feels like doing me a huge favour, could you let me know the following, please:
i) can you get to wraithbait or csi forensics (or any of the other sites) and actually view stories or log in? The site should load, but if I click on links to stories or category links or try and log in, I can't. Story pages are blank, category and log in pages just default back to the category or log-in page and never go anywhere.
ii) can you let me know what ip address the site is on as well as letting me know if you're having issues or not, please? You can do this by going to the DOS window on your machine (on XP that's by going to 'run' on the start menu, then typing in cmd, on other versions of windows I think there's a DOS prompt in the main menu on start)
Once you have the DOS window up, type in the following:
tracert www.wraithbait.com
Wait til it's run the trace, then give me the last four numbers that it ends on. For the old site, it will be 216.12.218.204 and if it's the new site you're resolving to it will be 67.15.24.204
Thanks. I'm getting the new site and problems. Last night![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
munchkinott was getting problems then no problems, and on checking when she had no problems, she was defaulting back to the old server.
My webhost is not seeing any problems so I need to figure out whether it's a cached thing for me or whether it's a case of my webhost ending up on the old server when she visits the site.
Thank you so much!

Don't know if it makes much of a difference but I got a review from wraithbait that seems to not actually be for my fic--and received two from forensics but couldn't access either of them.

I suspect it's something to do with php initialisation or mySQL on the new server, which means my webhost has to fix it.

Okay. I'm hoping that's a database glitch which will be fixed as soon as the rest is.
See me wave my hands and look on the bright side?

Last I heard Robin was messing around with mySQL settings and php initialisation.
To which I said 'okay!' and pretended to know what she was talking about ::g::

CSI-forensics otoh - the site loads, but I can't get past the categories to the stories. This one seems to be on 67.15.24.204.
I'm still at work atm, and wouldn't normally access fic sites from here ('cos OMG!frowned-on) so pretty sure I'm not picking up cached copies.

Anyway, that anon one just now was from me - basically, wraithbait seems to be all ok on the old address, but csi-forensics on the new addy loads the site but not the pics.
From:
no subject
It confirms what I thought - wraithbait, for you, appears to be picking it up from the old server, and works, whereas CSI Forensics is the new server and doesn't.
Definitely something to do with the server, then. If only I knew what :)

Rather entertainingly, and just for fun, I shoved in the new ip address and got the message: this site and Calysta Rose no longer exist.
From:
no subject
Yes, I got the Calysta Rose thing before I was resolving to the new server properly. However, everything seems to be fixed now.
