(Poll) Can anyone access this URL?
« on: August 01, 2013, 03:19:21 pm »
Could you check (and vote) if you can access the following URLs and tell me the error you get if you can't?

http://xlib.mtv-music-generator.com/omnistats.png
http://xlib.mtv-music-generator.com/omni2002.gif
http://xlib.mtv-music-generator.com/easter/
Index.html is supposed to be a scary pop-up (for now). I didn't link directly for that reason.

I am curious, because since xlib.mtv-music-generator.com (which includes several Omnimaga news screenshots) has moved to Sorunome's hosting, I received numerous reports of 404 Not Found errors from various people whenever they tried to access those links, even though I and a few others could access them fine at the same moment. I am thinking this is a DNS misconfiguration, but the problem is either on Sorunome or Juju's end so maybe they should check again so everyone can access the images again. This error has lasted for over a month, so it's not a DNS propagation issue (since that never takes more than 72 hours).

NOTE: The sub-domain is unavailable via the dutch Anonymouse proxy. It gives the following error:

Quote
ERROR
The requested URL could not be retrieved

The following error was encountered while trying to retrieve the URL: http://xlib.mtv-music-generator.com

Unable to determine IP address from host name "xlib.mtv-music-generator.com"

The DNS server returned:
Server Failure: The name server was unable to process this query.

This means that the cache was not able to resolve the hostname presented in the URL. Check if the address is correct.

It works fine for me. The 3rd link is a 403 though, which means directory listing is disabled and there's no index.

I've had lots of problems with DNS like this in the past, not every DNS server would pick it up successfully but others would, and I'm still unsure of why it happens. I should move them to Cloudflare.

No problems.
http://xlib.mtv-music-generator.com/easter/ is 403 Forbidden, but probably intentional (right?)

I get a server not found error on all 3 urls most of the times but rarely loads to a yellow background with a rectangle in the top.

For me, all sub-directories are 403 (I think it's intentional). The main URL works fine, though. It's a spinning baneling (Starcraft 2) with the Do a barrel roll song playing in the background. Images works fine too.

From the common proxy mentionned above, every URL gives the error I mentionned above. Google Translate proxy works fine, though. So for me, I can access the sub-domain from only 2 IPs out of 3.

Juju, do you think changing the nameservers to Freedns.afraid.org ones or something would work? Back when Omni Invisionfree board closed, the Yahoo DNSes I was using would never update again, so I was forced to switch to Afraid ones. It's possible that whatever you use caused the DNS to not completely propagate accross the world, so some people were permanently stuck with the old URL location. It's not per country basis, since both Harold and the Anonymous proxy are from the same country, yet Harold can access the site fine.

I got ERR_NAME_RESOLUTION_FAILED on Chrome.
Due to dissatisfaction, I will be inactive on Omnimaga until further notice. (?? THP hasn't been much success and there's also the CE. I might possibly be here for a while.)
If you want to implore me to come back, or otherwise contact me, I can be found on GitHub (bluebear94), Twitter (@melranosF_), Reddit (/u/Fluffy8x), or e-mail (if you know my address). As a last resort, send me a PM on Cemetech (bluebear94) or join Touhou Prono (don't be fooled by the name). I've also enabled notifications for PMs on Omnimaga, but I don't advise using that since I might be banned.

Yeah, this problem has occured ever since Juju made the xlib.mtv-music-generator.com domain point to your server. It worked fine when the images were hosted on 1and1 then later 57o9. The alternate URL is http://illusiat.reubenquest.net/xlib.mtv-music-generator.com_imagesThatWereOn57o9WhereJujuShouldPointTheXlibMTVMGSubdomainToBeforeWeLoseTheGame/

Also I don't mind the 403 on the sub-folders, although one day I would like the main directory to be listable (assuming you don't mind the extra bandwidth usage from Google).

It seems the error Blue_bear_94 gets is similar to the proxy one, meaning it seems to have troubles resolving the domain name.

Wait, i didn't read that it was a DNS issue x.x
That sucks D:
And I don't mind the extra bandwidth, i have 1TB/month and after that it's only been slowed down, i'll never be cut off.

I get a "Server not found" error for all three of those URLs – the same as when I try to access a domain that doesn't exist.

Actually it seems the following URLs

http://www.mtv-music-generator.com/ (redirects to Omni music section)
http://archives.mtv-music-generator.com/ (TIMGUL read-only archive)

now give me this error (from the proxy I get the DNS error):

Yeah at first I worried that the domain name expired (due to juju stopping paying for it or something) then pointed to a farm site under construction.
