[SOLVED] Cannot Find Server - Page cannot be displayed error

[bilbothecat]

Hi CMSMS world

I am new at this but have built a couple of simple sites located with the same host on different servers but both running MySQL 5.0.22 and PHP 5.2.3 with cmsms r1.2.3

The www.mwfl.org.uk site is 100% fine but the www.fatreduction.co.uk site at least 50% of the time throws up a "Cannot find server" "Page cannot be displayed" error.  I thought this might be a DNS issue and checked with host but all is okay there.

I have crossed-checked both implementations and cannot see anything but when I created site maps for them using the excellent xml-sitemaps.com the fatreduction site is throwing up some odd results for the site root page.

I include the domain and domain/index.php page for both as output in the ror.xml file.

Code: Select all

  <title>ROR Sitemap for http://www.mwfl.org.uk/</title>
  <link>http://www.mwfl.org.uk/</link>
<item>
    <title>ROR Sitemap for http://www.mwfl.org.uk/</title>
    <link>http://www.mwfl.org.uk/</link>
    <ror:about>sitemap</ror:about>
    <ror:type>SiteMap</ror:type>
  </item>

<item>
     <link>http://www.mwfl.org.uk/</link>
     <title>Mid-Warwickshire Football Leagues - Welcome to the MWFL Website</title>
     <ror:updatePeriod>weekly</ror:updatePeriod>
     <ror:sortOrder>0</ror:sortOrder>
     <ror:resourceOf>sitemap</ror:resourceOf>

compared with

This seems to suggest that I have upcocked something early on in the site definition stage but cannot figure what, where or how to fix.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

This sounds very similar to something I encountered.  Have a look at the this topic and see if it helps:

Thanks Tom (and all the other contributors to your original post)

In defence of Streamline it is FastHosts who have the issue - Streamline co-locate with Fasthosts (disasters, failures, recovery etc.)

I checked out the phpinfo() on a number of the fasthostslinux servers and what is different about fhlinux153.fasthosts.net.uk and those that are ok (172, 159, 169 etc) is not FastCGI but the fact that 153 does not parse additional .ini files.  The following should be parsed, all of which I would have thought the excellent CMSmadesimple and the over-cumbersome Wordpress and Joomla would need:

additional .ini files parsed

/etc/php5/php.d/bcmath.ini, /etc/php5/php.d/dba.ini, /etc/php5/php.d/dom.ini, /etc/php5/php.d/gd.ini,
/etc/php5/php.d/imap.ini, /etc/php5/php.d/ldap.ini, /etc/php5/php.d/mbstring.ini, /etc/php5/php.d/mysql.ini,
/etc/php5/php.d/mysqli.ini, /etc/php5/php.d/ncurses.ini, /etc/php5/php.d/pdo.ini, /etc/php5/php.d/pdo_mysql.ini,
/etc/php5/php.d/pdo_pgsql.ini, /etc/php5/php.d/pdo_sqlite.ini, /etc/php5/php.d/pgsql.ini, /etc/php5/php.d/soap.ini,
/etc/php5/php.d/xmlreader.ini, /etc/php5/php.d/xmlrpc.ini, /etc/php5/php.d/xmlwriter.ini, /etc/php5/php.d/xsl.ini 

I have alerted Streamline to this.  I haven't marked the issue solved yet waiting for the quicker of "someone at FastHosts getting a boot up the rear" or "moving me to a known working server" although I still do not understand why I am throwing 3 different home pages????

Anyway thanks for the quick response to my post.  Very encouraging for a newbie.

Cheers

Just to add another note to this for anyone who is having similar problems with Streamline.  I was eventually advised that if I wanted to manually change server I could use the control panel to change to a Windows server then back to Linux.  The only drawback would be that each change could take 24 hours and I could end up back on the same one.

When I tried it though it worked fine.

Just thought this might be helpful!
