Search Not Working

[SL33K]

i am tryn to search but its saying "ERROR"

[SL33K]

and my avatar has disappeared

[Basti]

the get new posts thing is acting oddly. it comes up fine but when i try to access page two of the search i get this:

i havent tried any other searches to see if its common to all of them. im running xp and ff3

EDIT: same thing with the "get active topics for: today" function

[ferni]

Yep i'm getting the same thing as Basti. When i do 'view new posts' first page works but clicking Page 2 gives me that redirect loop.

[typevu]

I cant search anything at all it just comes up:

[SL33K]

Heres a quick and dirty rundown;

The site has been moved to a new server and the old server has had its config updated to point to the new servers db. This means we have one db and two 'sites' until everybodies DNS is updated. Because I have fixed the search on the new server, people who are still getting the old server's 'site' will have some problems, but they will be fixed when the users' DNS is updated. (ie, I can search and view new posts with no errors at all).

Hopefully that makes sense, its hard to explain DNS stuff without pictures. Ask any q's, I might have to reply using an ms paint representation.

That all makes sense. Search is working for me today so i guess dns replecated to my dns server sometime since i tried yesterday

[PranK]

Yeah we are using our own nameservers now, so waiting for the nameservers to register meant a little longer to wait for replication.

[Basti]

all working now

[HuH]

Not working for me yet, but I'll be patient. Hopefully you're getting towards the last of these server headaches, PranK!

[PranK]

Yeah, I think we're on the home straight now.

[toddlls]

My search is still out also, will keep an eye on this thread to say fixed

The error returned was:

Is this the DNS related issue still? Ive cleared the caches on my DNS servers and still cant get access.

Do this for me;

Open command prompt: Start -> Run -> Type 'cmd' -> Hit Enter

Type;

nslookup <enter>

set q=any <enter>

skylinesaustralia.com <enter>

skylinesaustralia.net <enter>

And then post the output here. (You may need to enable cut n paste, right click on the title bar of cmd, go to properties and tick 'quick edit').

And this too. Looks like your authorative DNS servers arent accepting connections so everyone is running from cached records in DNS even though the TTL has probably expired.
