Error 404

Post by jstrahan »

This isn't exactly about the forum, but about the main sfdebris.com site. When I was on the home page, I went to the right side where categories are listed (Anime, Star Trek, Doctor Who, etc.). All the categories I clicked on, when I went to the bottom of the page to click on 'Previous Updates', I got an Error 404 - Page Not Found. However, on the home page, when you scroll all the way to the bottom and click on 'Previous Updates', there is no problem. You do not get any error.

Temporary work around - append 'www.' to the beginning of the 404 pages and that should work - I'm also getting warns around the lack of a valid SSL certificate for the site.

When I go to sfdebris.com, I get some generic 'domain for sale' page - I'm hoping this is a glitch or other mix up and not Chuck going under :/

Per Chuck's Twitter, there was some technical issue at the host. It's been fixed, but the fix included an IP address change and the host has a ridiculously long by modern standards 24 hour TTL for the DNS A records. The new address is 162.215.249.12. Clearing DNS cache or rebooting may help speed up the process, depending on whether your DNS source is also still caching the old records. Both endpoints and routers cache DNS records. For me, the .com site started working hours ago, but the .net site was still cached, but a flush of the cache allowed access. That's random luck, and for some people the reverse might be true.
