Here is the deal I moved my dad's site that I built for him to my servers a week ago. Everything was fine until I checked it tonight.

The DNS change worked fine, and switched over, everything was good and the switch was complete I just pre-empted with that info just in case.

www.jlee-consulting.com is the address but it redirects to www.ebook-archive.org
blog.jlee-consulting.com is his new blog i put up for him and it works fine

I'm the only one that touches it, he doesn't even have access, and I definitely didn't set up a redirect to this site. I don't know how to troubleshoot this problem since I can't see the code before the switch over, but I have downloaded the index files and am not seeing anything new in the code there either.

Also did a quick google search for ebook-archive.org to see if it was some sort of php exploit address someone used and didn't find anything on it.

any other ideas for where to look?

p.s. just double checked every file that is loaded from the index, and nothing special in those either.

nslookup shows that this URL resolves to 208.97.189.181

Does this sound like whom you expect to be listening on your domain name?

yes its dreamhost, and since the subdomain works it has to be right.

I just ran a script on the domain and got this as its source code...



So as you can see there is a 301 Moved permanently header being returned. Check to make sure that you didn't include this header anywhere in the code or that the ISP is not somehow returning a header of 301.

If you can't get this fixed capty, call me: ***-***-****

i haven't found the source, i definitely don't have a redirect in there.

now i know its a 301 that will help me check it out thanks, how'd you get that code jw?

and i send dreamhost a ticket, they don't have a redirect showing up in their system for me so i will see what they say when they get back to me.

kenworthy i'll call you tomorrow if i can't fix it. thanks pops you can remove your number i got it in my phone now.

I found out it was a 301 by running a chat script (Gotta love the flexibility of mIRC scripting sometimes) I coded up years back which downloads page source but since it is not a browser, it will not execute any code nor will it follow a 301 redirect as browsers are instructed to. It opens a raw connection to the page and fetches the page contents.

See your browser is receiving the 301 from the server and immediately redirects without even showing you the original page. That is why you are not seeing any delay in the redirect.

It seems to be working now. I just tested the URL and was sent to the correct page.

Chris, I removed your number to prevent unneeded calls. Capty said he had it.

yeah i knew why it wasn't gonna show me code.... just didn't know a way around it. thanks.


dreamhost fixed it , they had a misconfigured file. i've never had a dreamhost problem but had 2 in the last week.... one guy killed the mysql db and this was an incorrectly configured file. apparently i need to go dedicated.
