Server DNS Update (3 Viewers)

[Tommy]

I'm in process of changing the DNS settings and provider for PCF. You may experience some downtime while it propagates. You can try flushing your DNS to speed things up too.

PCF downtime?

 

[JMC9389]

I should be evil and list my Riverboats on the classifieds a minute prior to the downtime. Dibs sale.

If I knew what a DNS was, and how to flush it, I would do just such a thing!!!

lol. A simple description is that it maps domain names to IP addresses so you don't have to remember a bunch of numbers.

I got the water and flushed it, is it supposed to light up and then go dark like that?

I cannot open the page now from my iPhone (Safari). I cleared my history but the page won't even load.

Options 1 and 2 didn't work. Trying Option 3 now.

Option 3 did not work either.

NOW WHAT AM I TO DO WHILE SITTING ON THE TOILET?!

Ok, I’ve got my soldering iron and I’m standing in a bucket of water. I unscrewed the back of my modem. What’s the next step?

Anyone else with an iPhone/Safari having troubles?

I was for a bit but I just refreshed on iphone (chrome) and it worked.

I'm using Chrome from iPhone as well and it works fine.

You guys missed the Riverboats ad. Too bad.

I posted dibs but it got deleted!

I'm just glad I got in on that chiproom give-a-way that happened while @Saoliver was on the toilet.

 

[Colquhoun]

An analogy is that PCF moved across town, and we are all the junk mail that needs to get forwarded.

Method 3 worked for a minute and now doesn't work again. I made sure to turn wifi off before clearing the cache. Unfortunately when you hit the button you don't get a confirmation like "hey, good job buddy", nothing really happens.

 

[buffalojim]

I'm on Android & Chrome.

 

[Pinkdan]

I had to turn my wifi off and now it works

 

[Saoliver]

I tried all of these suggestions. Nothing works for me on my iPhone 12. Not in Safari or Chrome.

 

[RadicusScout]

iPhone 8 + Firefox & Safari works for me.

 

[Tommy]

I ran multiple DNS tools and everything has propagated. I think the issue is with ISP DNS caching.

 

[Saoliver]

Ok. I can get to PCF through wifi on my iPhone, but not through cellular. Any suggestions for that?

 

[toothpic]

Did you try powering off your phone and then back on? Sounds cliché but helps a lot of times.

Yep, same.

many times. cleared data and settings many times.

Eventually all the intermediate DNS caches will update. If you're desperate, you can manually change your DNS server. I can confirm that Googles works. That IP address is 8.8.8.8.
