Tech-related whinge
Oct. 6th, 2003 11:28 amOK. I filled the last post with a few edits but this whinge is slightly different so I am going to add it into a whole new post. Also it might make it look like I post more often than I really do. :)
You would think a staging web server would be set up the same as a live one wouldn't you? You know, so that things look the same on both? Nope. Here they have slight differences. My issues (well, most of them) were due to the fact that the web page worked fine on the wip (work in progress) server because there they serve default.asp in preference to default.htm for directory "indexes". On the live server they do it the other way around. Hence it all working on the test but not after promotion to live.
Yeah, I shouldn't have left the obsolete.htm file there but they shouldn't have ****ed up the web server to make it do stupid things.
Harrumph. I've got somebody to put in a helpdesk comment on it (of course I'm not allowed to have access to the helpdesk) so hopefully they will fix it or give a nice comedy reason for me to laugh at (and probably put up on my livejournal).
Still, at least it should be working soon...
End whinge.
