Firefox Problem

Oletimer · 09-15-2015, 11:36 AM

Hope somebody can help me! I cannot open the Wolfeboro Live Cam Site with Firefox. All the other images open. I get a popup window that says in full size window-Sorry, if you are the owner of this web site, please contact your hosting provider: Webmaster@WolfeboroCam.com. There is more saying -It is possible you have reached this page because-then it lists 3 choices. They are too long to include here but don't seem to apply to me.

I wrote to the Webmaster but no response-at least yet! Oh, the image does open in Internet Explorer but a pain to have to use.

Please let me know if anyone has had this trouble or can resolve. I use Win7.

Thanks very much. Sorry to bother you all.

wifi · 09-15-2015, 12:43 PM

I get the name "sorry" message on both firefox and IE

If you notice: http://www.rattlesnakecam.com/lakecams.htm
and click on wolfeboro cam, they cannot retrieve it either, I would suspect they changed servers and haven't configured the new one right, yet.

dave603 · 09-15-2015, 01:04 PM

Shorten the url to
http://www.wolfeborocam.com/

It works there for me using Chrome

Rusty · 09-15-2015, 01:06 PM

The Mount is at Wolfeboro Dockside right now.

webmaster · 09-15-2015, 01:17 PM

The thumbnail and link on this site's WeirsCAM page are working fine.

Rusty · 09-15-2015, 01:36 PM

The Mount has departed from the Bay.

Oletimer · 09-15-2015, 01:54 PM

Thanks for all who responded. I still get same results as Dave603 and wifi say they are getting. Webmaster says all is okay but site still does not work for me. I have tried it several times different ways but same results. I don't know what else to do or try. I did download and install a new Firefox browser but same results there. Thanks everyone.

wifi · 09-15-2015, 02:00 PM

Same with me Oltimer, the winni page shows an empty picture on the wolfeboro cam and clicking on rusty's link doesn't work.

Curiously, firefox advises me it is being redirected to another page for the picture to this:

http://www.wolfeborocam.com/cgi-sys/defaultwebpage.cgi

Rusty · 09-15-2015, 04:19 PM

I use the http://www.wolfeborocam.com/ and Explorer 11

Oletimer · 09-15-2015, 05:02 PM

I will attempt to attach 2 images (screenshots) of the error window I get when I left click on the WolfeboroCam thumb print to open it. It may be of help to someone for solving. Please remember that I can open all the other thumb prints and can open the Wolfeboro Cam thumb in IE 11 but dislike using IE. Also I use Win 7.

dave603 · 09-15-2015, 05:10 PM

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

Rusty · 09-15-2015, 05:44 PM

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

depasseg · 09-15-2015, 06:10 PM

Try it without the www

http://wolfeborocam.com/

Oletimer · 09-16-2015, 06:59 AM

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.

depasseg · 09-16-2015, 07:45 AM

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.

Oletimer · 09-16-2015, 09:52 AM

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):

BRK-Air:~ brk$ ping wolfeborocam.com

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.

Oletimer · 09-16-2015, 12:31 PM

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.

Rusty · 09-16-2015, 02:42 PM

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