Site DNS problems
Posted: Mon Nov 05, 2012 10:55 am
Hi guys,
Sorry for the extended outage over the weekend, the ISP unexpectedly changed the IP range the site sits on, resulting in our DNS records being invalid. Unfortunately it was this morning before this could be rectified.
If anyone still can't access the site they will need to empty their DNS cache, this can be done in Windows by typing ipconfig /flushdns in a Command Prompt.
On MAC OS 10, the commands are slightly different, from a terminal window type the following:
OS 10.4 Tiger - lookupd -flushcache
OS 10.5, 10.6 - dscacheutil -flushcache
OS 10.7 Lion and 10.8 Mountain Lion - sudo killall -HUP mDNSResponder
For most Linux, restarting the Daemon should do it, type the following in a Terminal:
/etc/rc.d/init.d/nscd restart
Sorry about the hassle, should be the last of it for a while.
Ciarán
