Re: [wdvltalk] 400 bad request error

2006-12-05 Thread Matthew Macdonald-Wallace

Quoting Portman [EMAIL PROTECTED]:


Hi all,

My boss had her web guy set up some form builders for her on her new
website. They were originally on her old website and I had no problem
accessing them. Now that they have been moved to the new website, I
keep getting a 400 - bad request error or Bad Request (Invalid
Hostname) error. I flushed my DNS, cleared my cache, tried from IE and
FF and am still having no luck. Her web guy is stumped also. Any ideas?

TIA,
Riva
P.S. It is a .cgi script.


Don't assume that the issue is with you, check the script for DNS  
queries/FQDN [0] requests that may be causing this issue.

So the company site has been moved to a new location and you can't get
to it? Can anyone else?

Your machine would not be the only place the old address is cached.
The dns server with authority for your location (your isp) very likely
has the old address cached as well. If others can't get there that
would indicate a caching problem at the isp. Try using the IP not the
friendly address. That is get the actual IP numbers, the
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx octects and use those.

Hi Drew,

Thanks for the reply.

The web guy gave me the address of the server itself that bypasses the 
website but I will try with the IP address. I am assuming that the URL 
would be the same (for the script) except the IP address instead of the 
friendly address?

Don't know what you mean about 'bypassing' the website.

The script is most likely located in the cgi-bin for an apache server
or some other directory on an iis server. That is, it should be on the
same server as the web page in which it is embedded. So yes, using
10.1.111.2/scriptpage.html would be the same as
http://www.example.org/scriptpage.html, for example. Normally, the IP
is part of the original documentation provided by the isp. If your isp
uses host headers, that should be dealt with in the same
documentation.

 By remote XP I am assuming you mean Windows Remote Desktop (?)
 If so, have you tried enabling the 'Local' Drives (in the options tab) before

 Then you can drag and drop via Windows Explore on the 'Remote' box.

That's a much, much better solution. All the use I make of Remote at

Random stab in the dark - you're trying to access it by IP rather than
hostname, so your browser isn't sending the HTTP Host: header with the
domain name of your site in, so the server doesn't know which of the many
sites sharing that IP the request is for.

Make any sense?

Subject: [wdvltalk] 404 error even though the files are there!

Hi List

It seems we're awash with HTTP errors at the moment. I'm have a really odd
thing going on.

Click this link: http://www.themmen.co.uk/demos/rsa/content/flv/rsa-2.flv

Standard message yes? Thing is though the file actually exists.

Now go here: http://www.themmen.co.uk/demos/rsa/content/flv/

That's the standard output generated by IIS when a folder has Directory
Browsing enabled, and thus is displaying the contents of the directory. 
Click any of the links however and you'll get a 404 message!

Is this some kind of permissions problem? I've checked everything and it
seems to be OK - other folders in the website work fine and all permissions
seem to be the same.

I'm running IIS 6 on Windows Server 2003 Small Business Server R2 and this
problem has only appeared since running this new server (everything was fine
on IIS 5 on Windows 2000 Advanced Server).

Any ideas peeps?

Hi Todd

Thanks muchly! That's a very good place to start.

The app runs fine but when it comes to pull the FLV into the 
video player it throws an error with the app reporting that the 
file cannot be located. Running the exact same build and exact 
same configuration settings in my config file on my old IIS 5 
server and on a 3rd party Linux server do not have this 
problem. Even using my 3rd party server as the host for the IIS 
6 hosted app works fine.
