Hi,

This is the destination URL for your blog:

https://www.angelfire.com/planet/impossible8/crap

It doesn't look right to me...

RE: https://www.angelfire.com/planet/impossible8/crap
You asked: What's wrong with it?

Comment: Shouldn't it look something like this:

https://www.angelfire.com/planet/impossible8/crap.html

In other words, the last portion of your URL, should have a file type designation, unless it is a folder.

BTW, where is the 'crap' file stored. Can you access it from your webshell?

What kind of file is it?

looks like your blog may have a graphic or a file that is in a privatized folder/directory.

make sure there is nothing in your blog or the blog itself is not in a private folder. all the files on your page need to be in your blog direcotry look in the webshell and see if you have any folders that may be password protected....
take the blog or any files that go with your blog out of the private folder.

this addy is fine Tom,vthe default blog.html or index.html would be in his direcotry that is named /crap/

I have my site at Tripod, and I just realized that AF doesn't offer privatized directories like tripod does.

but something you have in your blog is trying to download something that is in a private dierectory from somewhere

could be any outside link your using to load someones elses graphic or file that is a private or password protected directory.

Thanks for clearing that up, Mamagoo.

As you say, someone has posted a message in her blog,
which contains a hotlink to a file in a password-protected
location.

This sounds possible because, according to the administrator, the Blog was working fine before.

Sorry for confusing things with my comments about
the addy.

It just seemed strange to me, to see so many directories/folders represented in a URL.....

hi tom, I don't think you confused things by no means.
and it's not easy to see if it's a directory or a html page without using the / at the end, until you try the addy to see if it opens the homepage, index.html. so being the url pointed to the blog at least then you can figure the url is correct. but yes I have had times where the person left off the .html
not many of us write our URl with the / at the end of the directory, this way we would have known right away that it's a default directory.
https://www.angelfire.com/planet/impossible8/crap/

I didn't think about someone posting to his blog and inserting a link to a private directory. that very well may be the case and it would have to be a post that is now on his opening page.

I did a test last night I put a graphic in a private folder in my Tripod directory, I insereted it in my AF test blog to point to my tripod private folder.
what happened was the blog page came up, but so did the log-in window, if I cancelled the graphic showed with a x box, if I used my password the picture viewed. however the blog page did come up regardless. so the poster must have a vital object there that is not letting the blog open at all.
Hope that he can find it and let us know what it was, as this is unusall to happen in blogs....LOL

cheers to you, Tom

Hi Mamagoo,

I downloaded the URL: https://www.angelfire.com/mi2/magoosplace/testme/
and sho' nuff, I got the dialogue box, prompting me
for my Tripod password & username.

Very Interesting.....

I see that the Administrator of planet/impossible8
has solved her problem....That's great :)
