Remember, for now our site address is:
http://drivewesaid.com
Using www will also get you there but lead to unfortunate, "you must log in again" effects. Our internal links are all based off the URL without the www, as well as our site cookies, which are used to check for login status.
If this causes enough problems, and people would prefer having www, it can be changed very easily.
Now, what if you can't see the new site at all? Seeing our old "about us" page? Remember, the DNS entry can take a LONG time to propagate, especially at work places. Most workplace's DNS server entries refresh very infrequently.
Remember also that you need to clear your browser cache as well.
A quick check to see if you can see the new server is if you have the "ping" command available on your machine, try doing the following command:
ping drivewesaid.com
If the IP address that comes back starts with 174, then you're pointed to the new server.
Very weird - I got in, read several threads, and then it kicked me out and said that the site didn't exist...
ReplyDelete...a-a-a-and pinging DwS tells me that my DNS entry for DwS reset from the correct one to the old one? AFTER an 'ipconfig /flushdns'?
As I said - weird.
