Problem updating pages

www vs. no www

[tthach2]

I'm trying to update a couple pages on my site. I've tried publishing through FTP and Frontpage.

[widgets.com...] does not reflect the changes

[widgets.com...] does reflect the changes

Anyone know why this is happening and how to fix this?

Thanks

Hi:

It is quite possible BOTH reflect the changes, but you just do not SEE the changes! You probably viewed www.yourpage.com/about/ first, then updated the pages, right?

Well, when you go back, your browser probably justr shows you your previously cached version... but without the "www." the broweser thinks it is a fdifferent page, so it d/led it again, getting the new page.

Go back to the "www." version, and "force" a reload (hold down the shift key while hitting the "reload" button at the top of your browser. I bet you will see the updated version!

It seems like a server configuration error. I thought Linux allowed for both automatically.....

I'm sure there are some sys admin experts here that can help you soon.

I made sure I wasn't viewing the cached page. Unfortunetely this is not the case.

The site is hosted on a Unix server running Apache.

Correction: Hosted on a Red Hat Linux server

Did you update Frontpage "Include Pages"?

What you describe is almost certainly a caching issue. It could be with your ISP and not necessarily your browser. Because the site without www. works and with doesn't to me this suggests that the www. site is the most likely to have been previously visited and therefore cached somewhere.

>>hold down the shift key while hitting the "reload" button

This should not be shift, but control. This requests the latest version of the page from the server.

Thanks this worked:

Whoops! Shift, Ctrl... one of those darn buttons :)

Sorry about that, but glad it is working for you!
