A forum that I administrate
www.freemagicschool.com
(The forum section)
Every now and then, the forum is off,
like you go to the forum
http://www.freemagicschool.com/magicforum
and right now it says
the 404 page..
Is this just the server off? If not how can I fix this with the settings? Maybe MoS can help?
Sounds like server issues. What hosting provider do you use? I'd recommend you file a support ticket with them telling them what's going on. I had the same problems with another forum I administrate. Is it a 404 error you're getting, or a 504? It should be resolved by your host. If they can't resolve it in a timely fashion, it may be in your best interests to find a new host.
Ok, its not my site.
I just work for the owner, but yeah its a 404 error.
Ill call the original owner, and tell him what you told me.
thanks :D
http 404 means "file not found"
A la, http://www.snoopy.force9.co.uk/non_existant_file
either the thing (page? image?) has been moved or it's a typo
what would be a typo?
Are you absolutely positive it is a 404 error and not a 504, 503 or 500 error that you're getting? A 404 means that you typed the web address (URL) wrong, or followed a bad link. Basically, it means you've tried to access a page that is not on the server.
The 500, 503 and 504 are the bane of a forum's existence. Usually it means your host has you on a heavily shared server that's a bit too overused.

well, it dose say 404, have you tried to click on the link?
Also, when you go to the main website, there is no 404.
just nothing shows click on the link in my op
Works fine for me. :P
well it happens everynow and then..
Heres a picture of the link to the forum
http://i41.tinypic.com/20g1mcx.png
does it only happen with that one site?
*edit*
there's something screwy with the server config on that site
404 errors do not occur when navigating to obviously non-existent locations

Also, the 404 has the server sig of robustserver.com (irony?)
so there's some redirection going on - ??
This is the sig of the server you're actually on

hmm, I tried to call his office, and the lines were always "Temporarily busy"Quote:
