Solved: I think my webpage is being directed to localhost, can people check :)

Hi,
I am not sure but sometimes when I go to http://ptrw.com:45/phpbb2 (my website) it goes to http://localhost/phpbb2. Then if you change localhost to ptrw.com:45 it works. It does not happen all the time but can I get a few people to see if they are redirected to localhost when they go to it.

So if anyone has the time, can you go to http://ptrw.com:45/phpbb2 and see if they get to the Forum Index or go to localhost. If you are directed to localhost change it to ptrw.com:45 (http://ptrw.com:45/phpbb2) and see if it works.

When/and If you get to the Forum index can you please go to the forum "Tech Support Guy: Look Here" then go to the thread in there and post there to say how you got there (1. Got there straight away or 2. Had to change localhost to ptrw.com:45)

I hope this isn't to confusing

Thanks

http://ptrw.com:45/phpbb2

 

Had the same trouble.

But after I change to ptrw.com:45 I got this here below. I never installed anything I the site had better not installed anything.

Welcome To EasyServ Version 1.0

You Have Successfully Installed EasyServ 1.0 !!!

This is the first version of the next generation EasyServ installer. We are working to provide an easy to use product that will turn your computer into a webserver within minutes. The EasyServ group also provides a product that is scalable enough to run high end content driven webservers/websites. So no matter who you are, or what you need you have chosen the right product.

As an administrator:

 

When I say switch back to ptrw.com I mean change localhost to ptrw.com:45 but keep the /phpbb2 So it is http://ptrw.com:45/phpbb2.

The EasyServ page is just a website, saying that my installation of it has finished. EasyServ installs Apache, PHP, PHPmyAdmin in one installation, except have not bothered to change the index file they created.

 

Well it is not working right. I went to http://ptrw.com/ and you get a message " This site is currently not operational."

So I say the site is having troubles.

 

Http://ptrw.com and http://ptrw.com:45 are two different sites. ptrw.com goes to another server than ptrw.com:45.

If you can not get to it even after you change it back to ptrw.com:45 (from localhost), I suppose I do have a problem. Can you try http://220.244.29.98:45/phpbb2

This is what I mean:

>http://ptrw.com:45/phpbb2 (but taken to)
>http://localhost/phpbb2 (highlight 'localhost' and replace it with ptrw.com:45)
>http://ptrw.com:45/phpbb2 (It works for me when I do this ???)

If Not try this:

>http://220.244.29.98:45/phpbb2 (may be taken to
>http://localhost/phpbb2 (change 'localhost' to '220.244.29.98:45so it looks like this
>http://220.244.29.98:45/phpbb2

I do not know why it works for me on the seccond try??
>http://

 

Can you also try http://phpbb2.ptrw.com/ I made a URL forward.

Thanks

 

OK

http://ptrw.com/ I get This site is currently not operational.

http://ptrw.com:45 I get TSG people, Please go to http://ptrw.com:45/phpbb2 Thanks

http://ptrw.com:45/phpbb2 I get http://localhost/phpbb2/ and I see a image that shows up because it is being blocked by my hosts file. But I tried last night with the hosts file and it did not help.

http://220.244.29.98:45/phpbb2 takes me to http://localhost/phpbb2 and changing it to what you said does no good.

Now your link in the other post http://phpbb2.ptrw.com/ works and it takes me to a forum.

So it works and if the link in your sig is what you wanted to take you to the forum then you better edit it because the one you got there now is no good.

 

Can I get a few more people to try this out please.

Thanks hewee for your help
