Great site for trouble shooting DNS etc

caseserve

Here is a site that I use that will help with trouble shooting DNS

The site is http://www.dnsstuff.com/

For instance if you enter a domain into the timimg section (2nd down on the left) and select CName from the drop down. It will look up your entry then query the DNS server that is hosting that domain. This will tell you if your entry is correct and you are just waiting for DNS replication to actually get to the DNS server that you are using locally.

Another section is CSE HTML Validator (2nd from the bottom right on screen) so if you put in your site it will tell you the errors that need to be corrected in your html. Very helpful when customizing your site.

It's a cool site that really helps out in a pinch.

Thanks,

Andy

Which site, please be very specific or it takes us twice as long to help you. But no worries, I dug up the info.

You're all set now. You have two sites:

http://macwrite.smugmug.com/ which has http://photos.trevorharrison.net/ and that's working fine.

http://harrisonmedia.smugmug.com/ had www.harrisonmedia.com in the SmugMug control panel. I changed that to photography.harrisonmedia.com and all is well now. Try it: http://photography.harrisonmedia.com

So the reason, is that you didn't update your SmugMug control panel. All of that is outlined in detail here:

oops (thought you new) I thought I had changed it to photography.harrisonmedia.com awhile ago. Before it was pointing to the root domain.

Thanks Andy
