http://pcformat.co.za problem

Post by McGuywer »

When I visit http://pcformat.co.za, I get:
Directory Listing Denied

This Virtual Directory does not allow contents to be listed.
Just my headsup.

Works correctly.
Just wanted to let you know.
Not a major issue but perhaps a newbie would get confused.

you could argue that it should redirect from there instead of throwing out "scary" messages... primarily because the xbox/ipad generation, much like 80yr old early-onset senility victims, don't function well under pressure... and having to work out that they've mis-typed something is serious pressure...

this is why many companies spend so much money and effort in putting a friendly face on their 404 pages...

Just my headsup.
The www in front redirects to the www directory on the server. Where the site files are actually hosted.

Nice effort at advertising but sorry, I've asked Trouble AND GEE :| and they reckon you're a brainiac - not cute.

A surprising amount of modern pseudoscience is coming out of the environmental sector. Perhaps it should not be so surprising given that environmentalism is political rather than scientific.

Yes I know that.
But just for noob's they should perhaps redirect it to the www directory with or without the www infront.

It's not a new problem or one that doesn't irritate me profusely. Will bug Dawid again to take a look as soon as he has recovered from the mountains of work he's currently squirming under. We suspect there is a fault with the DNS listing and anything that far back gets tricky and makes Ron and D very nervous. It should and will be addressed shortly!
What you see written above is my opinion and not that of the peeps that put food on my plate.
