People can't get on Canreef

[EmilyB]

A lot of people can't get on. I haven't had a problem since the board came back on line. What do you think is the reason ?

I have that same problem but I have the main page and the Bullitan board under favorites so I can still get on by skipping the Main Page. If you know anyone just send them the bulletin page to get them on. Here it is-

I couldn't get on at first with my saved link.So I googled canreef,and replaced the old link with the new one.

Im wish I knew what the problem was guys. It seems I might be the only mod/admin able to connect. In the meantime I posted this as an announcement. Please spread the word if you can.

Unfortunately we are still having various issues with the board. It seems that currently most people are not able to get on to the board. We are currently ordering a new server from Ehosting but they require 2 weeks to have it ready.

Strange thing don't know if this will help. My desktop can get on via www.canreef.com/vbulletin/index.php then I go upstairs and login vai my laptop useing the same URL and can't get on.

Strange think is it's the same public IP as I'm behind 1 router

In addition to being a nosy basterd I'm a web guy so I did a little poking around.


First the problem with the index page seems to just be a SQL error, for what ever reason that query can't run. Seeing as through the rest of the site is operating for some people the DB itself is okay, maybe a missing table or something.

Second, the some people can't get the site problem seems to be determined by which browser they are using. IE has issues, Firefox (probably all Mozilla / Netscape browsers), Opera and a few others I have tried does. I've tried it on a few different machines. The server does not respond, something must be breaking on the back end.

Now interestingly enough, I was able to use the site but putting IE through a local proxy server I was using to monitor the traffic and get an idea of what was going on. The only difference I can see is that IE requests HTTP v1.0 where the others use HTTP v1.1. IE's request headers are alo much simpler, there are much fewer options sent along. There may be some interpretation of the headers done in the vbulliten code that is screwing up. I can't even hazzard a guess as to why the browser only works through the proxy, it should be transparent. That's a wierd one for sure.

Possibly the people that aren't having problems are using some sort of proxy either at thier ISP or a local one like a virus scanner of some kind.

If you guys could use a hand to sort this out I'd be willing to take a look. Email me at midgetwaiter(at)gmail.com

Well I have played around and figured out why I use Mozilla fire fox and have no problems getting on. If you are using Internet Explorer you will have a problem getting on...

Nope. I use IE and I have no problems.
I wish it was that simple.
