Firefox Problem

[dave603]

My version of firefox works fine using http://wolfeborocam.com/

When I read about your problem I thought of this video. It's an old one but it's still funny to me:

[depasseg]

Try it without the www

http://wolfeborocam.com/

Funny video Rusty. I was close to that stage!

That did work as you said depasseg. Thanks very much. Can you expand to say how or why it works that way? Can you say how to make that change permanent on the thumb print shown on left side of the web page; otherwise I would need to retype it each time for that one thumb print to open.

However I do thank you especially and all who responded.

I don't know the exact details, but it is likely an issue on the web server side. The Cpanel error message is from the wolfeboro cam hosting provider, which led me to guess that there was some sort of scripting or redirection error. And I'm guessing that the redirection without an exact hostname (the www part) is handled differently. Maybe someone in web design can correct me.

As for the thumbnail, maybe this site's admin can change the link. Otherwise, I suggest you create your own bookmark or favorite to the operational website until we hear back from the wolfeboro camera admin.

I'm glad the workaround helped.

depasseg,

Thanks again. I have bookmarked the working page and hope the cam admin will make a change that will work. Thank you very much.

Most of the time "wwww.SITE.com" and "SITE.com" go to the same server, but there is no requirement for this.

In this case, www.wolfeborocam.com and wolfeborocam.com (without the www) are going to two different servers (you can tell based on the two different IP addresses):

Whoever handles the wolfeborocam.com domain should fix this in DNS and/or tell people linking to the cam to update their links. There isn't anything you can do on your end, the link you're clicking is bad/outdated.

brk-Int and depasseg,

Thanks for your response brk-Int-quite interesting. Want you both (and all other Forum members) to know that I just recently opened that thumb print in question and it worked to open! So someone must have fixed it.

Thanks to webmaster if he intervened for fixing by whoever.

I thank you both for your great help. It's a joy to have working again.

I pinged both different addresses and got the same IP number for both of them:
