Cant view my own forums?

Pilky01 · 1 Nov 2008 at 14:52

I am trying to set up a forum for a friend.

Got it all sorted out and everything but I cant view them. I just get a blank screen

It works for other people and works if I view it through a proxy.

Clicky

Perhaps your isp has cached a blank page, or your isp has not yet recived the new DNS infos for your new domain name/hosting setup?

Type 'ping core2.org.uk' into terminal or command line (Windows + C)

See where its going, then for me who it works for its going to ... 66.197.177.69, where is it pointing for you?

I have cleared my cache, and I don't understand the second thing (new at this)

Cheers.

194.154.164.82

Which seems to belong to these guys http://www.ripe.net/

So the problem is that its sending me to the wrong ip?

Its not your temporary files cache, but some ISPs cache files to save bandwidth and provide a faster service, namely AOL.

if its pointing at 194.154.164.82 it means the DNS (wikipedia it) has not had time to update, when did you register this domain name/hosting?

Yesterday, just got to wait a bit then

Thanks.

Yup, it can take up to 72 hours, normally only about 24 for it to propagate across all the internets.

Thanks for the help

You can edit your hosts file manually, then right click/"repair" your windows network interface, then it should work immediately.

open the windows/system32/drivers/etc.

double click on the file called 'hosts'. Below the line - 127.0.0.1 localhost - add the ip and domain in the same format as the above line.

Done that and i am still getting the same.

I put 66.197.177.69 core2.org.uk

Is that right?

Pilky01 · 1 Nov 2008 at 22:02

Update: I have registered another domain and used the same host and it does the same thing.

Pings the same IP and everything.
