a favour...

topic posted Thu, October 23, 2003 - 10:24 PM by  heather
you may know that we've been deviled by a glitch with the new server since our move in june (this is me pulling my hair out and gnashing my teeth).

it was a huge problem for people on ie6 (like me) and some other browsers that would randomly present a blank white page with a four digit number in the top right and corner or lovely chunks of mysql errors.

anyhoo... chris made a few changes to the server this evening and from where i'm sitting (a lovely non-foggy san francisco evening with a warm chihuahua in my lap) the problems seem to have been solved.

if you have experienced this problem in the past could you take a moment and bang away on the site for me? i'd love further corroboration that we've finally managed to win at whack a mole! (keeping fingers, toes, arm and legs crossed in hope)

thanks... have a wonderful night.

    Heather, no problems here (chilly East coast, warm tabby cat in lap). On Safari (The browser, that is).

    Been hitting the site pretty furiously for the last few minutes, and everything seems to be working great (and looking mahvelous).

    Previously (since June but prior to yesterday), sometimes a page would take an unusually long time to load, then it would successfully load, but with a bunch of server-side gibberish overlaying the top half-inch or so of the page.

    If it happens again, I'll send you a screenshot.

      hey heather...

      no problems so far today, (montreal...on my way to the gare central for some coffee + laptop time) on Opera (the browser, that is.)

      you know theres a contest here in montreal heather, ending 31st of october, to basically submit any and all photographs of any montreal monuments. they are trying to build an archive and are offering large $$ fujifilm prizes all kinds of papers camera film and developing equipments...

      anyhow.. just wondering if you had ever taken any interesting pictures of any monuments in montreal, way back when you used to live here?

      why DID you move again>?

        I'm on IE 6.0 PL. No more white pages, but still sometimes Apache text shows up in the top part of the page, or the page loads without the picture.

        Hope this is nothing serious, but today (27 Oct 2003) I could not open any MP pages (English IE 6.0). They partially load with text only and no images. Hmm ....

                          herm. if you were using ie, then perhaps your temp directories were too full and crapped out. while i've never experienced images not showing, save stuff from the web (my own). glad you're back up and running.
