Guest adwords@aimdesign.ca Posted January 15, 2008 Posted January 15, 2008 I am posting this here online because I cannot get any straight answers concerning my problems. 1) Description So long and short of it that one folder within the site disappears 'randomly'. Now let me explain. The site has a subdomain http://weddings.stephenkiers.com/ that points to http://www.stephenkiers.com/weddings/. Every once in a while (that I notice at least) the folder starts displaying "The system cannot find the path specified" error. No other details, just that. Then, about 15 min later or so it is back up again and running. 2)Details It only effects the one directory (and its subfiles and subdirectories) http://www.stephenkiers still works, stephenkiers.com/weddings/ does NOT work. No files work. No JPG, asp, html etc files are available 3) Godaddy Response After a total of 5 calls averaging 35 minutes each (just under 3 hours) no solution. They blamed it on my ISP (although their phone people saw the problem on their computer as well) Claimed to have fixed it (because the site went back online) had me do a trace route (I will post below) Most recently claimed that it may be that the "app pool" is being filled up too fast, and therefore breaking the website. they think this because while helping me, the site came back online, and the tech rep noticed the app pool had just refreshed. 4) Other notes The site is fairly high traffic I am not using up bandwidth quota (parts of the site still work) The site does use random ASP generators (will post code if you think it may help) -------------- So I am writing for some help. Any help. It is frustrating with Godaddy because they will nto even let me talk to their advanced help. I am left on hold. Have to reexplain every time. and they have no toll free number. Thanks in advance for the help. I really do appreciate it. Stephen Kiers AIM Design Inc

You can do this even before making the call. IF the problem is due to some malfunction (likely a caching problem if so) at your ISP this will be obvious by using a direct NSLOOKUP for a request: nslookup name.subdomain.domain.com IP.Of.ISP.DNS vs. nslookup name.subdomain.domain.com IP.Of.GoDaddy.DNS And be sure to test BOTH of your Godaddy servers' IP as well as every one of the DNS servers provided by your ISP. -- Herb Martin, MCSE, MVP http://www.LearnQuick.Com (phone on web site) If you use LinkedIn then tell me where you know me from when linking: http://www.linkedin.com/in/herbmartin > Most recently claimed that it may be that the "app pool" is being > filled up too fast, and therefore breaking the website. they think > this because while helping me, the site came back online, and the tech > rep noticed the app pool had just refreshed. > > 4) Other notes > The site is fairly high traffic > I am not using up bandwidth quota (parts of the site still work) > The site does use random ASP generators (will post code if you think > it may help) > > -------------- > So I am writing for some help.

I can see the folder on the FTP, but when I browse to it I get a HTML page that simply says "The system cannot find the path specified" Nothing more, nothing less. But on the FTP, everything is peachy. Thanks again Stephen Kiers

I have been a hosting company for several years (maybe 5-7) and my only real complaint is that they have (or rather, at least used to have) terrible change control notication. Actually, they were big about making network changes WITHOUT notification, but they have not done that in several years. I don't know if they improved (due partially to my squawking) or if they just haven't made any changes that would screw my system up since then. I love the price; I love the phone support; the equipment works; and the hands on support (when something goes wrong) is great too. If that change control thing is really fixed then I have no complaints with GoDaddy hosting. -- Herb > -- > Chris Leeds > Contact: http://chrisleeds.com/contact > Have you seen ContentSeed (http://www.contentseed.com)? > NOTE: > This message was posted from an unmonitored email account. > This is an unfortunate necessity due to high volumes of spam sent to email > addresses in public newsgroups. > Sorry for any inconvenience. > <adwords@aimdesign.ca> wrote in message > news:f0d2ce7c-fe3c-4616-91b0-ff01e7281690@c23g2000hsa.googlegroups.com... >> On Jan 15, 6:57 am, "JohnB" <jbri...@yahoo.com> wrote: >>> When you say it "disappears"; I assume you mean you can't browse to it. >>> Can >>> you see the "missing" folder with an FTP client? >> >> I can see the folder on the FTP, but when I browse to it I get a HTML >> page that simply says >> >> "The system cannot find the path specified" >> >> Nothing more, nothing less. >> >> But on the FTP, everything is peachy. >> >> Thanks again >> >> Stephen Kiers > >
