No Kidding!! Everything is going nuts. And it happened when I was uploading. Leaving me without a way to check my site to see what made it.
IP address still work, but not domain names.
And with the Virtual IP, it's impossible to use the IP address to access my site.
But I found away around this. I figure I might as well post the trick here, just in case someone comes across a need for it.
The DNS servers seem to be down, but I discovered that I could still check my FQ email account. Seems I had set it up with the server IP address instead of my domain name. So email does not require a domain name to work. With the net down, I had nothing to do, so I tried using the IP address with my FTP program. Yep, that worked too.
Hmm, most web browsers have built in FTP programs. I quickly had a URL that worked.
Code Sample:
ftp://MyUserName:MyPassword@208.243.19.204/big/dom/xMyDomain

Replace:
MyUserName, with your user name.
MyPass, with your password.
208.243.19.204, is Taz's IP. Replace it with the IP of the server you are on.
MyDomain, with your domain name.
Success. I had a directly listing. Clicking on my index.shtml displayed the HTML, not the page. I had to add shtml to the list of types in my browser, but then it worked perfect. I can browse my web page with ease. All the links that do not have full paths in them(most don't) worked perfect.
Now SSI, XSSI, CGI, and any server side possessing will not work, but anything else is a go. If not for that, it works just like HTTP.
Have fun!!
