Cannot find server problems

[Dean]

Hi,

 

I seem to be having a problem with a catlog I have put together - http://www.casalibra.com/catalog/

 

I've looked through this forum and see that many people are having the same problems... but not many solved.

 

What happens is that when someone tries accessing the index.php (or any other php files in catalog) the page return 'cannot find server'. Then if you refresh a few times, you finally go through ok. This probably happens about 60% of all visits. However, I have never had the problem in NS - only in IE!

 

This is what the config looks like.... can anyone see anything wrong?

 

// Define the webserver and path parameters

// * DIR_FS_* = Filesystem directories (local/physical)

// * DIR_WS_* = Webserver directories (virtual/URL)

define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://www.casalibra.com'); // eg, http://localhost - should not be empty for productive servers

define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'http://www.casalibra.com'); // eg, https://localhost - should not be empty for productive servers

define('ENABLE_SSL', 'false'); // secure webserver for checkout procedure?

define('HTTP_COOKIE_DOMAIN', 'www.casalibra.com');

define('HTTPS_COOKIE_DOMAIN', '');

define('HTTP_COOKIE_PATH', '/catalog/');

define('HTTPS_COOKIE_PATH', '');

define('DIR_WS_HTTP_CATALOG', '/catalog/');

define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG', '');

define('DIR_WS_IMAGES', 'images/');

define('DIR_WS_ICONS', DIR_WS_IMAGES . 'icons/');

define('DIR_WS_INCLUDES', 'includes/');

define('DIR_WS_BOXES', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'boxes/');

define('DIR_WS_FUNCTIONS', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'functions/');

define('DIR_WS_CLASSES', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'classes/');

define('DIR_WS_MODULES', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'modules/');

define('DIR_WS_LANGUAGES', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'languages/');

 

 

 

Hope someone can help as this is driving me nuts!!! Arghhhhh

 

Thanks is advance!

 

Cheers,

 

 

Dean

The only thing I see wrong in your config is this:

 

define('HTTP_COOKIE_DOMAIN', 'www.casalibra.com');

 

Try:

 

define('HTTP_COOKIE_DOMAIN', 'casalibra.com');

Thanks for this.. I've tried it but is still doesn't always load.

 

Are you getting any problems?

[Dean]

In fact, is anyone else getting any problems at all?

 

Be useful to see if it is a local connection?

[Guest]

I had a problem on account signup - there was a missing / in the URL - dunno why this is :blink:

[Pcsphere]

I've been having these problems as well....does anyone have a solution???

[Dean]

Thought I solved this... but the error is still occuring. Does anyone know what this is caused by?

[Dean]

Ok. Is anyone else having this problem or had this problem.... I've heard or various people say they have!

 

I think it would be interesting to see, as there needs to be a fix or summary of cause for this. Any help?

[ibandyop]

Nice site.

Had no problem surfed several pages.

[Dean]

Could an error like this be caused by a server sql setting?

 

It sometimes doesn't go through, but refresh and it does.

[Dean]

Anyone?

[ptrau]

maybe one of two things:

 

1) if you have just registered or transferred your domain, it can take 78 hours for all of the DNS servers to populate

 

2) if your server has had intermittant outages it can cause that

 

I also see that your https url is an http

 

define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'http://www.casalibra.com'); // eg, https://localhost - should not be empty for productive servers

 

I did not have any problems on your site

[Dean]

The only thing I see wrong in your config is this:

 

define('HTTP_COOKIE_DOMAIN', 'www.casalibra.com');

 

Try:

 

define('HTTP_COOKIE_DOMAIN', 'casalibra.com');

Any further help on this would be appreciated.

i had no problems on registering or moving around. if you are getting these errors from your local system, try deleting cookies, tmp files, etc and see what happens then.

 

on another note, what a pain in registering, having to put a title? what if someone doesnt have one? and to put in where they heard of you? and county instead of a different description? that is confusing.

[Dean]

It's not a local setting, as various people are experiencing it from around the world.

 

Can anyone see anything wrong with my code above?

Here is one minor fault

 

define('DIR_FS_DOWNLOAD', DIR_FS_CATALOG . '/home/virtual/site22/fst/var/www/html/catalog/download/');
define('DIR_FS_DOWNLOAD_PUBLIC', DIR_FS_CATALOG . '/home/virtual/site22/fst/var/www/html/catalog/pub/');

this will effectivly double the url

 

try this

define('DIR_FS_DOWNLOAD', '/home/virtual/site22/fst/var/www/html/catalog/download/');
define('DIR_FS_DOWNLOAD_PUBLIC', '/home/virtual/site22/fst/var/www/html/catalog/pub/');

or this

define('DIR_FS_DOWNLOAD', DIR_FS_CATALOG . 'download/');
define('DIR_FS_DOWNLOAD_PUBLIC', DIR_FS_CATALOG . 'pub/');

either of the above should work

 

If this is the url http://www.casalibra.com/catalog/index.php it works no problem in ie6
