DNS error

Post by Bug »

Hi, I have been given the task of looking after the clans webpage/servers etc.
As the person who deals with this stuff has left it has
been passed to me.
My problem is I have been placed in the deep end,
not sure what I'm doing as I am learning as I go along.
This problem I have atm,
I tried to change some words on the web site but it will not show.
What I have done-
I made a new html file using html-kit
The page opens ok with my web browser.
It checks out ok when I check for mistakes using html-kit.
I use filezilla to upload to our web site ok.
I can remove the current page ok
It will load the new page ok but will not show.
I have the file for the current page and it will load and show.
If I change just a couple of words in the current page it will not show the page at all, and yes it will show in a web browser.
Thanks for any help and please any answers your talking to a newbie :lol:

I'm not familiar with html-kit. Have you tried editing the file in a plain text editor, such as Notepad or Context?

I'm not sure what you mean by DNS error. What URL is showing the error, and what is the exact error?

What is the URL that shows this?

Are you able to ping the hostname corresponding to that URL from your command prompt?

Is the website corresponding to the URL that is not working hosted here, or elsewhere? If here, you may need to contact us through the "Help!" option in your control panel so that we can review your Domains page for any abnormalities.

I am seeing this when I view that URL:
Not Found

The requested URL /roster/roster.html was not found on this server.

Try that link again and it will show the clan roster.
I changed it back.
Even if I change one word with notepad or a text editor it will show as not found.

It's not showing an error for me now, either. Where can I see a reproduction of the error?

Try the link again as I replaced it again with a simple message.
<html>
<head>
<title>MY HOME PAGE</title>
</head>
<body>

HELLO WORLD!

</body>

</html>

Again all you get is an error

I'm just seeing this again now:
Not Found

The requested URL /roster/roster.html was not found on this server.
That means that the file is missing.

Is it showing the file there and in that location? Also, is the file and folder name in the correct case (all lower case letters)?
