Website not loading

JonCatalan · 07-19-2009, 12:34 PM

I own a blog called Economic Thought, and periodically I can't reach it (while everyone else can). I get the following screen:

I go to my root folder in my cpanel and everything is there.

Why does it do this? It happens on any browser I use from my computer.

Thanks.

Have you cleared your cache since you created the site? This may possibly just be the cached version on your computer of the blog.

I have tried. My computer freezes.

Ok, so I cleared my cache. Can't tell you if it had any effect, yet, since normally at this time of the day it works fine. But, when I tried to share my latest post on Facebook, I got the same expert (the Apache server error log or w/e), which leads me to believe that clearing my cache and all other private history didn't do anything.

No, I wouldn't think clearing your cache would fix that, it's a server problem. Are you sure everyone else can see it fine? Contact your blogging/hosting company.

I did. And yes, everyone I've asked can see it fine. I think it's a problem with the DNS. But, when I went to flush my DNS my cmd prompt gave me an error line. And, well, my cmd prompt doesn't respond to anything.

EDIT: I realize I spelled it wrong, but I did it again spelling it write and it looks exactly the same. It doesn't recognize the command.

try ipconfig not ipconfic

FredT · 07-20-2009, 09:20 PM

You're telling me your cmd prompt doesn't recognize ipconfig even when it is spelled correctly? Are you sure you spelled it correctly the second time?

What does it say when you type path

I'm not a big Windows person, I use Macs myself, so I might not be the best person to help you with this.

This has to be a path issue unless the command files actually got deleted. But your path appears correct.

I did notice, though, that the first screen shot you posted had C:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe in the title bar whereas the other two just say Command Prompt. Not sure what that means or what's causing it but I would say that, if anything, the one in C:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe should have worked because thats where all the command files are stored... am I wrong?

Anyone else have thoughts on this? Maybe you should give this a shot in the Windows forum.

JonCatalan · 07-21-2009, 12:30 PM

You actually solved it! I went to the WINDOWS folder on my computer, and opened the cmd prompt from there. Did the DNS flush and it worked! Thanks!

FredT · 07-21-2009, 12:31 PM

Great. Let me know if that fixes the website problem.

JonCatalan · 07-21-2009, 01:02 PM

Nope. :(

FredT · 07-21-2009, 03:08 PM

It really looks like it's the server's fault to me. You said this usually happens a certain time of day?
