Wharf Rat Posted July 9, 2014 Report Share Posted July 9, 2014 Seems to be working now. you may have to clear your cache. Hey TR their setlist looks awfully familiar (?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taper Ron Posted July 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2014 It is working intermittently, either it is propagating (which can take up to 24 hours) or they are working on something. Yeah, Rat, that's my database and interface. DSO will be updating it from now on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taper Ron Posted July 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2014 If you are going to the old site you probably need to clear your cache. If you get an error message similar to: The page cannot be found The page you are looking for might have been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable. It is because the DNS (data name server) is propagating. Without getting to technical the DNS is basically an address book. When your browser sends a request for a web page your isp looks for the ip address of that domain name at the dns. ISPs read and display websites from their local files instead of looking them up on the Internet each time their customers want to view a website. This is similar, on a massive scale, to the way the browser on your computer caches websites to speed up browsing. Propagation ultimately speeds up web surfing by speeding up the return time it takes for a web browser to request a domain look-up and get an answer reducing the amount of traffic on the web therefore giving it the ability to work faster. Why does propagation take so long? The reason it takes so long for websites to be visible to everyone once you launch it, is that each ISP has an automated process that updates and caches DNS records. Until their cache is reset, it will not display the website. There is not any kind of standard for this process, and they can set propagation time anywhere from a few hours up to 72.

Forum MVP chuckvegas Posted July 9, 2014 Forum MVP Report Share Posted July 9, 2014 Damn, TR, that's almost as many hoops as I had to jump through back when I tried to propagate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wharf Rat Posted July 9, 2014 Report Share Posted July 9, 2014 I'm confused about one thing (OK Maybe more). First you said to clear your cache later on you say it is the ISP that automatic resets caches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taper Ron Posted July 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2014 Sorry, Rat. You can clear the cache in your browser, your ISP also caches web pages, images etc these are what you have no control over. You ever coming back to Kansas?
