jon Posted September 10, 2002 Share Posted September 10, 2002 Would everyone please do me a huge favor and participate in this poll. Over the last month or so we have recieved numerous emails from people complaining about "500 internal server error" messages. Some people have been unable to logon at home or work and thus been unable to spray . I don't believe the problem is on our end, but something to do with an caching issue either at your hosting providers, somewhere on the internet, or at possibly our webhosting. Anyways thats for taking the quick second to fill this out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon Posted September 10, 2002 Author Share Posted September 10, 2002 Oh yeah one more thing If you have had persistant problems, lets say at least a couple hours of errors, but are no longer having any problems, please post what you did to fix the problem including what OS and browser you are using. Thanks, Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 10, 2002 Share Posted September 10, 2002 You need a "does not apply" button for number 2-5. For those of us that have no problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fern Posted September 10, 2002 Share Posted September 10, 2002 my OS was not listed - Solaris 8 running Netscape 4.79 my experience is that it starts loading the main forum page then seems to poop out when it hits the chat hack. But I don't know nuthin about computers I just made that guess because the URL that displays in the location box accompanying the 500 error is this: www.cascadeclimbers.com/cgi-bin/chat.cgi?f=summary ^^^^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fairweather Posted September 11, 2002 Share Posted September 11, 2002 Upgraded to Netscape 7.0. This eliminated the problem. (Was using ver.4.7) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 11, 2002 Share Posted September 11, 2002 Run IE6 and run problem free. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon Posted September 11, 2002 Author Share Posted September 11, 2002 Ron- Yeah I screwed up but I can't go back and fix it. Fern- A woman who uses Solaris, will you marry me! I'm going to check out the chat hack, this might be the problem looking at the error logs. What I don't understand is why there are only a few people who have the problem persist throughout the day and even follow them home when for most of us hitting the refresh button solves the problem. I'm not really educated on this subject but I know that some companies and possibly some service providers have network caching appliances to lower their bandwidth outside their intranet, and the people who are suffering from these problems are on these types of networks. I haven't seen any evidence so far that indicates that this is a browser/OS issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fern Posted September 11, 2002 Share Posted September 11, 2002 I didn't choose or pay for this box or the software it runs, it merely sits on my desk adding spice to my life. Speaking from experience I can only echo timmy , why would ANYONE run solaris? . Kill -9 is my salvation . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dru Posted September 11, 2002 Share Posted September 11, 2002 I get no 500 errors but I find that when you go to a topic from the Topics of the Day list, then go "back" to the topics of the day, you get some old topics of the day from hours previously, and have to "refreshiez" to see the current topics of the day in chrono order. and as for system... I am running BASIC on a cluster of 100 linked Commodore Vic-20's with magnetic tape drives [ 09-11-2002, 04:47 PM: Message edited by: Dru ] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
