A tribute song to the Purgatory:

Tried to save the trees
Bought a platsic bag
The bottom fell out
It was a piece of crap

Saw it on the tube
Bought it on the phone
Now you're home alone
It's a piece of crap

I tried to plug in it
I tried to turn it on
When I got it home
It was a piece of crap

Got it from a friend
On him you can depend
I found out in the end
It was a piece of crap

I'm trying to save the trees
I saw it on TV
They cut the forest down
To build a piece of crap

I went back to the store
They gave me four more
The guy told me at the door
It's a piece of crap

Just put it someplace else on the server... it would depend on if they are blocking everything to your domain, or just a specific root url.

Other than the domain, that url was really nothing more than the path location of the install on the server.

Well, that's why I asked. I have Websense here, and I can get to your site still. That means one of two things: my company hasn't gotten the latest updates from Websense database or 2) Chad's company has been watching traffic and manually added the Stingray Purgatory to their blocked list.

edit: Or option 3, my company is not blocking that particular category. Chad - what does the error message say? Blocked because of....?

Lame. Damn IT security freaks....

I guess using Tiny URL prob won't get around the problem.

Only other thing would be to use a proxy service like tor.eff.org, that unless Proxy Avoidance sites are blocked as well.....

Or do like I do  - ssh back to my home computer then surf the web from there.

A company with a restrictive firewall sure isn't going to let you SSH anywhere.

Ok, another alternative is to use Microsoft Remote Desktop RDP over another port (like above 5000 for example). Only way they can snag you there is if they REALLY have the firewall tightened down to only allow outgoing traffic like http, mail, dns, and <insert critical protocol here>.

That is it here... only certain things are open.

Doesn't RDC require one specific port?  I don't remember being able to change it on the server side.

It's a registry change

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server\WinStations\RDP-Tcp

Either that, or just do a port forwarding / translation on your router. Incoming port 5599 translates to desktop port 3389.

Post by: Stingray on December 12, 2005, 12:00:37 pm
What really kicks over my pissbucket is that my website has been blocked in the first place. I mean seriously, it's blocked because it's a personal website? So we're assuming that every website on the internet that isn't directly assiciated with a corporate entity  or NPO is unsafe?

I emailed websense, requesting the reason why I'm blocked. I expect to hear back from them not at all.

Oh and Drew, I am "blocked" from my own site. I'm also blocked from this site and several others that I frequent. I don't let being blocked stop me from visiting them.

MC- Looks like it is. Funny how this all started up when websense added me to their database. Coincidence? Probably. Won't stop me from blaming them. It's websense's fault.

Eh, you're partially right. Websense "categorized" your site as a personal site. Your company has turned on the "block sites with category: personal". All you can do is:
1) Ask Websense to categorize you differently (humor, games, etc) but to something your company doesn't block.
2) Ask your company to not block personal sites.

Good luck either way.

Service Level Agreement. When you sign up to host with someone, they (hopefully) sign a contract with you, part of which is a Service Level Agreement. In other words, we promise to maintain 98.5% uptime weekly. If we don't, we owe you a refund or, you kick our butt.

Plus some other legal mumbo jumbo.

See if they have a Terms and Conditions or User Agreement page or something. Call em and ask if they have an SLA. You might not, but wouldn't hurt to ask. Might mean some $$ back.

It's actually cheap enough that I doubt I'll bother with trying to get a refund. I am actively trying to get moved to another server. When I check their chart that shows which servers are down, mine is often the only one on the list. At the moment there are a couple of others (out of about 30) on it as well.

ease let us know if you need further assistance in this regard.

I don't buy it. They must have been doing this mysterious backup for at least the last month. I emailed back and told them that I think this excuse is BS.

It's not an excuse, it's a canned response.

James has no idea what is going on because all James does is sit there and route support tickets.

Considering that the routers in this building were purchased by and are maintained by the public school system, I'd say that's quite likely.

How come it only effects my site?

It would affect anything that may go through that router... remember, any site you hit goes through a random number of intermediate sites on the internet.  If any of them goes down you can get intermittent outages to certain places.

It's really simple.  So simple, in fact, that people seem to be having a hard time with it.

When the box pops up, read it.  Follow the instructions, and type everything it tells you in the exact fashion it tells you.

Directions huh?  Who needs 'em?  ;)

We've switched from timeouts to DNS resolution problems. Is this a step in the right direction?

Did you see my PM? The bug in Firefox has a DOS (Denial Of Service) effect on the server. So the server is given a beat down like the ugly red headed step child and you get DNS issues.

It is a problem in Firefox 1.5 only and since that is the latest version I imagine Mozilla should be cool.

Son of a dirty fushhole shootbag cork knocker bastige!

Started working for just a couple minutes. Gone again.

Goz- is this the bug you're talking about?

Quote
It's come to our attention that a bug in Firefox 1.5 is causing some issues on SMF forums. The bug causes Firefox to time its javascript functions incorrectly, which in turn results in a page reloading in the background many, many times. It's possible that some hosts may incorrectly flag this as a Denial of Service (DoS) attack due to the ferocity of the calls. If you are having problems with your server, with many calls looking like: "index.php?action=keepalive", then it almost certainly is this Firefox bug - in this case we recommend you following the advanced information included in this post.

To minimize the risk to this happening when viewing an SMF forum, we've created a work around for the bug which should solve this issue. If you are using SMF 1.1 RC1 or RC2 we recommend you simply replace the current script.js file found in your Themes/default directory with the attached file. This does not affect uses running SMF 1.0.5 or lower.

I got that in an email this morning. Purgatory is on SMF 1.0.5.

I've not had a problem once with DNS errors, but I had problems with the newer versions of Firefox with other stuff like Memory leaks and whatnot.  I downgraded to 1.0.7 and haven't EVER had issues with Stingray's site since then, and I think I only lost the use of a single plug-in which, I guess, since I can't remember it, wasn't really that necessary.

Find it at www.oldversion.com (http://www.oldversion.com)

I've never had a problem with this site either, FWIW.

You have to remove ALL traces of Firefox 1.5 before installing 1.0.7, otherwise it'll update itself as soon as you're connected to the 'net.  Don't forget to Export your bookmarks before removing it, and Import them back into 1.0.7 when finished.

I believe you may simply be experiencing apache restarts as everytime someone goes to add a subdomain, addon, or other such item apache needs to restart. It should not even take a second however and you should not be able to see this. I will schedule some update scripts tonight to fix any setting errors.

Support guy seems to be actually taking an interest in fixing this. The other host's support guy usually told me there was no problem and closed the ticket before I got a chance to ask any follow up questions.

That wasn't the problem.  The server just didn't show up on the internet for me.  It was at home and I'm at the office now.  BYOAC still worked from home though.

The internet obviously doesn't like you then.

No, I just blocked his home IP so his wife can't get in anymore. ;)
