Gendocs site? - new url
« on: Wednesday 13 September 06 09:08 BST (UK) »

Hi

Does anyone know what has happened to the Gendocs site http://www.gendocs.demon.co.uk/  It had some very usful info on it but since early summer the following comes up if you try to access any of the pages:



Demon Internet - Error 403 (Forbidden) -

Quote
#

The page or site has been administratively withdrawn. If you are the owner of the site, please read the Homepages FAQ.
#

 You are trying to use a file as a directory. For example, where http://www.sample.demon.co.uk/file.html is a valid page, you have tried to access http://www.sample.demon.co.uk/file.html/something-else
#

The page you are trying to retrieve is the bwusage.txt file that may only be retrieved using FTP and not through the web server itself.
#

The pathname of the page contains /../ as one of the directories. /../ is only meaningful on the Homepages server as part of a relative URL where it would not provoke this error unless you have a very badly written web browser (which is highly unlikely). Occurrences of /../ which would provoke the 403 error are either caused by an incorrectly written page, or an incorrectly named page

Thanks Casaguildi

There are an awful lot of references to the old url on various threads on RC. When I did a search, I couldn't find any announcement of the change  Sad
