Many, many thanks, love, & hugs to the thoughtful person who alerted me... but my filehost is misbehaving today - I've changed nothing, but the only files accessible after about lunchtime today, are those with a .php extension, which is pretty useless, of course.
Boring detail - if a file.s named xyz.php - it works fine, same file, renamed to xyz.html - access forbidden, and the error page isn't the standard one, meaning it ain't the one in my account, but a similar general one. Sooo, somethings obviously gone wrong or being blocked by the host, and their online & telephone help, are both umm, unavailable.
Curiously, if the files can be accessed via a sub-domain - eg not http://howmarvellous.com/music/index.html but http://music.howmarvellous.com/index.html, then things work just fine, but that doesn't help unless I manually edit every mp3 link..., so bah, bah & bloody bah! - hopefully I can fix it tomorrow eh?.
oh, saw a few apartments, more next week + sorting finance, with any luck.
ReplyDeletedo you have a "robots.txt" file in your root directory that may be blocking access? just a thought, since it seems your root is the problem... xoxox
ReplyDeleteNoo Tart, no robots whatsoever afaik, but they only affect search engine err robots, surely?.
ReplyDeleteAnyhow - all fixed now, well, not fixed by me, but working ok despite no actual reply from the hosty ppl - it seems to me that anything outside of a subdomain was being blocked unless it was a file to be run on the server, like a php for ex, but absolutely all others got forbidden. I wonder if it's due to some naughty Chinese who are leeching the mp3s & more? (like skreemr & beemp3, but hopeful-hackers too I suspect) - I shall have to look into blocking some ip's eh?.
Ta again for the headsup (how nice to have watchers over there) and advice
xx
yes block some of those suckers '-P
