Peggy 01-07-2008, 04:38 PM Sounds like it could be a server problem. Get ahold of your host.

Your host 'might' have moved your site to another server and the DNS hasnt caught up yet.

I'd be willing to bet, such a pain, i hate DNS
Peggy 01-07-2008, 06:12 PM Too many of them do this without advance notice. :mad:
technom8t 01-07-2008, 06:52 PM i managed to get hold of them, and that is what they are doing moving my server from texas to Washington, no warning nothing, i had my hart in my mouth there for a while thought i had been hacked, anyway, thanks alot guy's

Peggy 01-07-2008, 08:12 PM Now you can sleep good tonight ;)
technom8t 01-08-2008, 11:58 AM I AM STILL FEKED!! it is even worse now, i had someone try to help me out today as i still had the same problem we tried reating other admin acount, changing my pass, now i can t even log in to my own site, what am i going to do? the servers have moved and settled all other boards are working fine, imnow thinking that t it is a hack i installed yesterday that is cozing this? any1 PLEASSSSSSSSSSSSSE!!
technom8t 01-08-2008, 12:26 PM ok im now in my board after waiting 15 mins , BUT the board is empty, it has no members onlin, just me, but there are members on im the only 1 who is seeing this empty board when i login, it sems to be attached to my logi/ip, its as if there is a opy of my forum, that no 11 can loginto except me??, its relly strange??
please help, im getting desperate?
Peggy 01-08-2008, 12:27 PM I have absolutely no idea what you did or they did. What hack did you install? You may need to seek help at vBulletin.com, or on the support thread for the hack that you installed.
technom8t 01-08-2008, 12:54 PM ok im on the original board with all the members now, im not logging out lol, now the laptop wen my partner is logged in is kicking her from the main forum to the empty 1, this seems to be a problm with the IP i think, is there a way i can clear my IP from my database to see if that helps?
Thanks peggy
all recent hacks and template MOD's i recently done have now been reversed...
qryztufre 01-08-2008, 01:39 PM IMHO, still sounds like a DNS issue. I was on a forum that changed servers and WHOA!
The problems lasted for days. I'm on dialup and each time I'd need to log in was a toss up as to whether or not I could load the site. Other members had to wait for DAYS before they could do anything.
I swear, it was even causing odd cache issues for some of the members.
Give it time, once everything settles down all should be well...
Peggy 01-08-2008, 01:59 PM In the meantime, you can do this...
On your computer, Start > Run > in the box type cmd > OK
In the black box that comes up, after Owner>, type ipconfig/ flushdns.
Hit your enter buttonYou should see the following message:

Caddyman 01-08-2008, 06:16 PM It is a DNS issue. Believe it or not, no matter what your hosting company tells you, some ISP's and Proxies can take up to a week to propagate totally. I moved a week ago and still had 1 user today on a school proxy that is seeing the old site :(
Caddyman 01-09-2008, 12:57 AM try accessing your site thru a proxy
try www.dimeandnickel.info
Caddyman 01-09-2008, 12:59 AM wtf how did my post jump above yours? thats strange...lol
try the proxy
technom8t 01-09-2008, 01:34 AM wtf how did my post jump above yours? thats strange...lol
try the proxy
ok mate, that particular proxy didn't work but i did try others and you were bang on, if i go in via a proxt, there is no problem what so ever, DEFFO a DNS problem,so just a matter of waiting to my ISP update there servers, thanks everyone for there help

technom8t 01-09-2008, 02:35 AM the trouble is that i ams shifting between the 2 boards as to speak, i though everything was ok last night, get up this morning and now i am back on this other board while everyone els is on the other1?? this seems too strange, i have tried all the above but none seem to work permanently, just now i cant access my proper board?? i am stuck in Limbo Land as i have come top call it.........
Caddyman 01-09-2008, 08:27 AM best advise is before a move close the forum and make the close message say like "we are moving servers, when the board reopens you will be on the new server, thanks for your patience" then once you can see the new server open the board up. then there will be no confusion for members. and no posts lost.
qryztufre 01-09-2008, 11:53 AM giving a link with the new IP rather then the domain can also help to bypass the DNS issues if people are slopping back and forth.
or maybe it was like a link like host.com/~membername/sitename/forum/ *shrug* Either way, the DNS can be bypassed, I just don't remember which method the admin used when it happened to us.
