bad connection?

During this week, sometime I could not reach/visit to degreeboard.com

I am currently out of the country, I haven't had issues the few times I've been able to get internet connection. There have been no vBulletin error messages sent to me regarding PHP or Database issues, which is automatic, in over a month. We run on a very stable and well maintained server. We also have 3 IT people on Staff with strong System Administration Background and if things even begin to look odd we're on it right away.


But if you or someone else having the same problem can provide some details we can check it out.

I've been checking in several times a day and have had no problems.

So far things have been working good, I have been able to connect and post to Degreeboard.

I've had some problems but things seem all right now.

I guess the problem was on my side. I have two computers at home. One has an old bookmark to http://degreeboard.com/phpBB2/ and the other to http://forums.degreeboard.com/. I did not notice the difference on the two bookmarks until now. The computer with the /phpBB2 works sometimes (dont' know why) and led me to post my original concern.

Aha!!! That could be a possibility. When we had the old software it was in the /phpBB2 folder, after we migrated to the new software I kept the folder there originally with a .HTML redirect to the new vBulletin sub-domain of "forums". However, this weekend I got rid of that folder and did the re-direct via the .htaccess access file from the Apache web server. Perhaps that redirect technique isn't as stable as the simpler .html redirect. Oh well, I might just kill the redirect all together and let people error and re-create their bookmarks.

Thanks !

interesting.. I have never had problems like that with .httaccess. but then again i haven't used it in years.

If I try http://degreeboard.com/phpBB2 it will successfully redirect. If I try http://degreeboard.com/phpBB2/ (with the trailing slash) it fails.
