I,m going now to try out my new Kubuntu disk.

Rik · Oct 07, 2007, 11:00:28

I didn't know you were a frisbee fan, Alf.

Simon · Oct 07, 2007, 11:07:48

I have just received some emails from yesterday, and I can access my webspace via FTP, but I can't actually access my website from my browser. Getting "Document contains no data" error message.

I had to set up a temporary domain controller once... I dug out an old 486, and called it Methusalah. It caused a bit of amusement

I can access via FTP and from the browser. It seems like there's some loose ends at the moment.

It's when you call it Desperation that the eyebrows start to raise, Bill.

Web and pop are fine here, Bill, but I can't get to my blog, 404, but can my webspace. Alf, otoh, can't get to his webspace, but can his blog.

I think things need shaking down a bit more.

That is odd, I get the 404 on your blog but mine is fine, and we set them both up the same day as well, $:-\$

Haven't set up web/blog, so can't contribute to that debate

Rik · Oct 07, 2007, 11:36:40

You could do it now, Bill, and tell us if there's a problem with setup.

No problem with Webmail here Bill $:-\$

krysia · Oct 07, 2007, 11:38:51

I thought I just posted something, but it doesn't appear to have worked, so I'll try again.

Although I understand that all messages stored on the server have gone, I don't understand why they have disappeared from Outlook Express too - although l've set up my mail account as an IMAP one, I've marked the inbox for offline viewing, which should mean the messages are stored on my hard drive as well as on the server.

I've just checked my webmail, and there are now only five folders there: Sent Items is gone.

More worryingly, when I tried to send a test message from Outlook Express, I was told my mailbox doesn't exist. I've tried synchonising folders a few times, but get the same message.

Can anyone help?

No time at the moment, I'm at Sally's with guests arriving shortly...

A thought- I'm not on my IDNet line atm but on Sally's TalkTalk connection, could it be a DNS propagation problem?

Rik · Oct 07, 2007, 12:01:32

I think it could, Bill. Certainly the FTP server can only be accessed from IDNet IP addresses. Thinking some more, though, it shouldn't affect webmail as that would render it useless.

I'll add it to my report!

Bill · Oct 07, 2007, 12:04:59

Well, I'm certainly not going to hold my breath waiting for TalkTalk to catch up

looks like there is, Rik, just tried to set mine up and got the following error when I clicked the continue set up button: -

Not Found

The requested URL /wp-admin/install.php was not found on this server.

Rik · Oct 07, 2007, 12:43:24

Thanks, Ray, I'll pass that on.

Najarak · Oct 07, 2007, 12:54:47

Rik,
I have two .com email accounts, one is working, slowly, but the other account is not accessible either using POP3 or on webmail, I get "login failed".

Rik · Oct 07, 2007, 12:58:26

I'd suggest dropping support an email (or calling them tomorrow), Steve, as a general report from me on an issue like this may leave unanswered questions.

Kheldar · Oct 07, 2007, 13:23:33

that was a song in Bltz, so perhaps you could serenade each other

Thanks Rik, I will probalby leave it for a few days and see if it reappears, I think that they may well be inundated tomorrow.

Rik · Oct 07, 2007, 14:33:35

I suspect you are right, Steve.

With a password issue, though, which is what I suspect may be happening, they'll need to kick the tyres for you.
