Accessing Websites

[dogbert]

I tried to access my own website last night and was unable to get to the site. I checked my browser and noted that cookies were turned off. When I turned them back on, I was able to access my website (headstuf.com). Is this a thing with the Linux servers or is there a switch I missed somewhere in my Frontpage publisher? Anybody should be able to get to the site with or without cookies on. How do I fix this?

In general, when you sign up for a web site there is literally nothing inside the public_html directory which is where your web site goes. Whatever is on your web site, or whatever your web site requires (such as cookies) is what you would have decided to include on your web site. TCH itelf requires nothing, and neither does Linux.

 

Saying that, if you would post your web site's URL perhaps someone can take a look. Did you perhaps include a shopping cart or some other application that may require cookies?

http://www.Headstuf.com is the site. I don't recall setting anything to require cookies. But I am testing out Frontpage2002 and who knows what stuff goes on inside of the heads of Microsoft programmers. It is possible I could have flipped a switch somewhere unknowingly.

just checked out your web site with IE6 while blocking all cookies, and your home page came up just fine.

Hey, KW, thanks for the test. I just tried the same thing again with IE5.5 (I have found 6.0 to run a little to slow for this ole 400 mhz laptop) and it worked. Go figure. It worked before except for last night; and to verify the cookies were the problem I repeated the test about 3 times including a reboot.

So, we don't have a problem? or what?

I don't use FrontPage ... so I can't help you there.
