HI,
I went online last nite (Friday, 18 July) late, around 11 and I couldn't access some of my pages, all the images in my -automatically generated - navigation bar (button images) were inaccessable, more than 3 pages out of  16 were inaccessible and the ones that were accessible had no access to any of their images.
By the way, I'm an old web designer who has in the past written pages directly through notepad in code and now I'm using FrontPage.
Anyway, I went into Photoshop, looked at all my images, resaved them. In FP I looked at all my pages, resaved them - everything on this end was OKAY, by the way - and republished everything 'new.' Looked at the stuff in cpanel and it was okay... Then spent another hour or so finding other errors in the pages. I finally gave up and went to bed thinking that lunarpages must be down or something...  WHAT HAPPENED??  

Even today, I find that all my links are red, that two of the images (which are all the same in the buttoned nav bar at the top of each page) on the top nav bar on one of my pages are redded out (I also had to re-upload that page this morning - IT was all right last nite) and, I had to republish a few more pictures. Arrrrgh!!! Help!

First of all:
This is most likely a server issue and not something that is related directly to graphics programs, or even frontpage or anything.
However i wont move it because..well i can't seem to find the right forum for it to be in.


Second:
Can you give me your URL so i can see for myself?
What server are you hosted on?
When you say that your images are automatically generated, what coding language do you actually use?
PHP? ASP? something else?
What pages were unavailable in this website?


Thanks for answering.

the URL is http://SOLExpo.org
last nite the pages that were unavailable were authors.htm, entertainers.htm and I was so frustrated I've forgotten the other two - I think linktous.htm and sitemap.htm.

Right now, as I said, all the links are red. But you (maybe) can see for yourself.  I was unable to get to linktous.htm this morning (all the others were available, but some of the pix were not, so I had to re-upload them (??)). On all the pages, except home.htm, the home button is redded out in the upper nav bar, and on some pages, when you get to them, their nav buttons are redded out...
I'm not using PHP, or ASP, simply html. The images are all jpg or gif, but they are of different resolution/quality since they were each given to us by the different people for their bios and you'll quickly see that everyone is as different as can be from the next. I don't know if that has anything to do with anything. As I said, I simple looked at all of them, changed little things like width and resaved them so they would automatically upload in FrontPage.

When you ask what server, I'm not quite sure what you mean. I'm with lunarpages.com. Do you have multiple servers? If there is something I need to look at in CPanel that I'm not aware of?

Entertainers.htm is working fine.
Linktous.htm is working fine.
Authors.htm is working fine as well.
Sitemap.htm is working fine as well.


By what server i mean the name of the server. Currently lunarpages has 18 different servers working.
In the original sign up email it should have told you that you were hosted on jupiter.lunarpages.com or any other server name and that to sign up you should go to jupiter.lunarpages.com:2082 (or something similar) while the dns servers were being set correctly to reflect your domain name.

Try to always post your server's name when having issues, it will help everyone pinpoint the problem that much faster.


http://www.lunarpages.com/login.html is a good place to see if the network is acting up or not. (in the network status box.)


On the reason why your account was acting up I have no idea why. Apparently it was only routine maintenance work that was done on the server.
You might want to try to call lunarpages and see if you can get an answer (or just email support@lunarpages.com ) and they'll tell you what happened.

Sorry - didn't know you meant Leo - that's the server.
When I thought to look at the page with IE rather than with Netscape, everything looks okay. Doh. What's with that??
Thank you so much for checking it, and sorry about my freaking out. What is with netscape anyway?? Do you know? Is it because of the microsoftIE/netscape conflict that netscape doesn't recognize many of the features in FrontPage. (I should have recognized that before - my next machine will have RedHat on it!)
Thanks again.

Yes.

Netscape doesnt support the *features* that frontpage supports for one good reason.
Most of them aren't real piece of code validated by the W3C. Or at least when i was looking into frontpage in the early days of the .com boom.

Besides. Netscape doesnt even support some of the features validated by the consortium.
You're better off using ... Firebird,Opera Smile (especially if you're going to move to a linux box )

I'm addicted to Opera's "mouse gesture shortcuts."  I am ruined for all other browsers.

Thanks for the suggestion. I've really had it with window's products and asked Gateway, who're sending me a laptop to look at for a few weeks, if they could put Linux on it instead of Windows XP and I got a, "huh?" so I said "Unix" and got the same resonse.

I did find out that I can partition/fdisk it and format it myself and will have all the software on CD to reload the windows part if I want to have a dual boot - which I am so considering. I may even go back to a desktop and build it myself...

Any suggestions about what version to use? (I taught Unix at a local college, but that was way back when Red Hat was first coming out and it was to people on mainframes without Xwindows - they didn't even have a good version on their computers to learn with).  I understand that there are a lot of versions out there.

Mozilla's browsers also support hand gestures. There's a nifty plugin that does it.
