Host unreachable

Post by Guest » 07.05.2007, 16:46

Hi there,


I've been having serious problems with Kapilands in the last month.

Lately, the site can't be found for a couple of days, and then it just gets back online. Sometimes it works for 1-2 days, and then again I can't see the site for a 5-10 days.

It is really bothering.
Has any1 else experienced this?

Hm, sometimes there is a problem to reach the server... as there have been some server works (I think on the weekend). But that should not last a couple of days...
I will give it to the programmers. But I also would like to ask you to pm me, as soon as it happens again, so that we have a specific time for that and also post the message you see on the screen...

Provider,your ISP (internet service provider)problems.

I'm from Iasi and never had the problem, also if it was I check site at least at 8 hours daily so no way that could last more than 8-10 hours

Well there were no problems with our server but there can be problems with the DNS which is responsible for you. So if that's the case www.kapilands.com is not resolved to the correct IP. Unfortunately we cannot do a thing about such problems but we just have to wait until the DNS provider fixes this problem.


A probably working workaround, which makes you independent of any DNS, is to change the windows host file. To do this with Windows NT/2000/XP or Vista go to "C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\" (C:\WINDOWS may be different on your computer). Open the "hosts" file there by right clicking it and select "open". Then select your Text Editor. You now should see something like

Code: Select all

# Comment area
# In lines which start with a # may stand anything but it has no effect
# ....
# .....

127.0.0.1       localhost
here you just have to add the following two lines after the last line (which probably is "127.0.0.1 localhost"):
80.67.20.121 www.kapilands.com
80.67.20.121 kapilands.com
So at the end your host file should look like something like this:

Code: Select all

# Comment area
# In lines which start with a # may stand anything but it has no effect
# ....
# .....

127.0.0.1       localhost
80.67.20.121	www.kapilands.com
80.67.20.121	kapilands.com
Now save the file and reboot your computer and you should be able to reach www.kapilands.com normally again (even without a working DNS).


It would be nice if you could give some feedback and tell us if it really is a DNS problem or if you have problems also you have changed the hosts file.
Thanks for your help!

Regards,
Aru
