ok – in safari, the page(s) will no longer load?

'Safari can’t open the page “https://beta.build-green.com/” because the server unexpectedly dropped the connection. This sometimes occurs when the server is busy. Wait for a few minutes, and then try again.'

Anyone? Other suggestions gladly appreciated!

Cheers

[Mod. Search and replace your database for beta.domain.com and replace with https://www.domain.com is the best, safest and ‘normal’ way to do it.]

Hi esmi, thank you for reply –
ok, i see how this works, but for kicks (and in my case, practicality)

How else can i get around this issue ? (adjust path ‘suffix’ to new domain)

I mean, ideally – this subdomain will be removed when out of ‘beta’ phasing.

Hi Chase, have you resolved this issue?
Try manually deleting the ‘uploads’ directory on server (backing it up beforehand of course) – proceed by re-creating it, and upload it’s content back to folder.

hope this helps –

Hi all, here is a logical solution to my problem(s) described above.

To summarize when / if this relates to your issue(s), here are is a brief summary –

• wordpress ver. 3.0
• installed on subdomain
• authentication / user + pswrd prompt (.htaccess, .htpasswd) required

problem?

when trying to upload, the error – HTTP error. is returned, with unsuccessful file upload.

solution?

add the following to the very top of your .htaccess file, (should resolve issues around uploading media)

# Exclude the file upload and WP CRON scripts from authentication
<FilesMatch "(async-upload\.php|wp-cron\.php|xmlrpc\.php)$">
    Satisfy Any
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
    Deny from none
</FilesMatch>

Thank you esmi, I appreciate your help.

I’ve concluced the following..
The issue(s) around the media uploader we’re in fact, caused by the password protected area (I disabled the following in .htaccess, and it’s now working again)

AuthName "Restricted Area"
AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile /root/path/to/my/website/.htpasswd
AuthGroupFile /dev/null
require valid-user

Now, that being said.. It’s nice to know that problem has been pin-pointed; however, it does leave my ‘beta’ area unprotected.. which is not ideal.

Any solutions as to how i can get around this?

! perfect. Thank you so much, very much appreciated! (Will read more about)

Cheers!

Hi everyone, the end result to these various issues (that continuously led to one problem after another) was to convince client, to in fact, change hosting to an Apache server..
—

I won’t mention any providers (primus) but the service/response effort on their end was unworthy of our time. A lot of time, effort, energy and money, was allotted to just trying to accommodate the so commonly used, generic wordpress cms.

Thanks to all for support!

alright, thanks samboll, I appreciate your help on this. Will keep updated and provide solution when resolved.

Cheers

Hi samboll, i’ve also stumbled upon this solution..

—

Unfortunately, I cannot get it to work. i’ve adjusted w/prefix to a few areas to accommodate the sub directory my wp blog is installed to.. ‘/wp/’
—

it;s all saved to a ‘rewrite.script’ at the base/root of server.
should it be situated in the ‘public_html’ instead? (I’ve also tried this, but no luck..)

hmmm, so it appears they’re running a ‘zeus’ based server, and not apache. now what.. *pondering*

hmmm, so i’m making the assumption that yes, it is running on a windows IIS server. I’ve added the following as custom structure.. and it’s in some sense, ‘working’.

/index.php/%category%/%postname%/

now, this of course, leaves an unwanted ‘index.php’ in my url custom structure, there are solutions to get around this, provided at the link you’ve provided me with.

I am confirming with hosting provider that it is in fact running on Windows IIS.

I will follow up here, with solution/steps i’ve taken to get around this.

Thank you Ipstenu, I will read this, and give it a shot.
Cheers! (keep you updated)

Anyone?

Hi Ipstenu,
I had it in the ‘/wp/’ directory, although i have tried putting that ‘.htaccess’ in the root.. ‘public_html’. – I’ve tried again, still no go. (I now have it in both directories.)

Thanks for the reply, appreciated.

Any other suggestions?
