Ibanez Rules email out

Rich · #1 08-07-2006, 02:17 AM

Sorry to post a thread but I also can't update my site to change the site link email address. It's been down for 30 + hours now and no telling when [if ever] it'll restore. I was halfway in the middle of a server change to Yahoo but got busy again and didn't complete it. I'll be doing the DNS change tomorrow but that means even if my email comes back up on my current host it won't be retrieving it [the way I'm guessing it works]. At any rate the bottom line is, I'm not receiving anything from the site.

I just changed my email address here in my profile so anybody can contact me using the email linked here.

???

My email is still out. I just switched the DNS to Yahoo so hopefully by the end of the day I can get the email links on the site changed just in case I can't get this AVG configured to grab Yahoo mail [I still don't understand it! ;/]

i was referring to the website. if i can view it (before you changed DNS) then you should be able to FTP in.

i'm glad the yahoo info is sent you months ago went to good use... LOL... glen

I can FTP, but Frontpage cannot connect. The DNS has flipped and the site pages online are now Yahoo but it hasn't fully propogated and the email is still not up [according to Yahoo, up to 72 hours, they really are a pain to transfer to, the service/stability had better be worth the agg!]

I changed the email address on my HOME / USED / NEW / and PARTS pages and lost the banner as I did, since I can't load through Frontpage I can't get the shared boarder on those pages so I just pasted in links that work.

I've said it before and I'll say it forever, I HATE COMPUTERS!!

If I had to learn CODE I would have never even started the website! Frontpage lets me just type and publish, no matter how funny it is to you.

Email is back up, DNS fully propagated, my only problem now is the PHP form handler for my auto responders is not working. ;//

it's time rich... Dreamweaver and a free FTP program will do everything you need without any coding. Frontpage is more complicated. Any HTLM generator will suffice actually. Uploading a few files is simple... like you have to do with the form handler PHP (upload in ASCII mode)... glen

Rich · #9 08-09-2006, 10:18 AM

Frontpage may be more complicated on the web side, who cares? Nobody has to see it and all I have to do is type

You know I have an FTP. But what is ASCII mode? I uploaded it like I did to my old server, worked there, don't work here [Yahoo has plenty of little quirks and do a lot of things in a proprietary way]

**jemsite** · #10 08-09-2006, 10:23 AM

it is long over due to wean off the frontpage

FTP transfer usually has an icon or setting to upload files in "auto", "binary" or "Ascii/text" mode. The php file is ascii text. that said it should still work if done in "auto" but if not send in a support ticket... glen

Rich · #11 08-09-2006, 10:31 AM

Frontpage I have, and I already know how to use, Dreamweaver, I don't.

I uploaded in ASCII, no change. I had opened a ticket when I started the move, I replied to it last night to see if they can't straighten it out.

Rich, Since your using Front Page, some times on Linux/Appache servers the Front Page extentions need to get restarted or reinstalled, I have had many issues with this on servers since it uses a different protocal than just using FTP, hopefully this points you in right direction.

So if you have access to a server manager like Cpanel, you can go into FrontPage Extention Manager, clean upl old extentsion or reinstall again.

Rich · #14 08-09-2006, 07:15 PM

Extensions weren't a problem, it was the address. Every other server I would link in using www.ibanezrules.com in the address bar, Yahoo doesn't like the www, they want it http://ibanezrules.com [just one of the little quirks I have to get used to]

Now the PHP email / form handler not working doesn't have anything to do with Frontpage, it's a PHP file Glen gave me years ago. Always worked like a charm on other servers, doesn't work at all in Yahoo. If anybody has any suggestions [I can understand and follow

] I'm all thumbs...errr. ears!
