Mad Dog Drive Thru Down?

[GaryChildress]

Any other Drive Thru denizens here having trouble reaching doggie's forum? I've been trying the past 1/2 hour and it keeps telling me no such page exists.

EDIT: Sorry, I actually mean "page not found".

Gary,

It's working ok for me.

Best wishes,
Steve

Hmm. I just tried again and same error message. I'm not having trouble with any other sites. Anyone else ever had an issue where one site wouldn't work but it would work for others? [&:]

[zakblood]

yes, and that was a routing issue, cleared the dns cache and all worked well

how to,

https://documentation.cpanel.net/displa ... +DNS+Cache

why you may need to,

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-gb/libr ... 10%29.aspx

only needed if you encounter a large number of HTML 404 error codes or page not found errors etc

if site is down or dead, this won't make it work either, just throws up the same error, so just because it doesn't work, it doesn't mean it's bad advice either[;)]

other way is this, convert the web address to an ip number then ping it and see or check the response and time, then you can work out if its a routing issue or a dead site yourself...

example,

Hostname: www.matrixgames.com

IP Address: 64.111.28.20

Reverse DNS: matrixgames.com

Thanks zakblood, I got the IP address and then plugged it into my browser and got the message that the site is under maintenance right now. I guess that solves the riddle. [&o]
