All You Computer Geeks

If I try to get on here from my saved favorites or if I type www.camaro5 into my browser all I get is a message at the top right of my screen. It say "apache working normally" now what the hell does that mean?
The only way I can access the site is thru another link, like the Derby camaro club page or something from a google search. Why won't my browser open the home page? This just started happening today.

Thanks,

Cady

I cant help answer your question, but I can save you typing 4 letters every website you type in for the rest of your life.. you never have to type "www." All you have to type is "camaro5.com" and it will work. Your welcome

What OS and browser are you using?

My only thought is that there is some form of Cache or temporary file in your browser that is trying to connect to an older IP Address (like before the site was attacked). I would try to remove all temporary files and cache from the browser in its settings and if that doesn't work and your using windows type ipconfig /flushdns into the Dos like box that comes up when you enter command prompt.

Edit: to get to command prompt simply just hit the start button and type cmd. It should be the first thing that comes up in the search

Try holding CNRTL button and pressing F5. This should give you an uncached version of the page.

The message you are getting you can do nothing about. The webmaster (tran) has to fix it

Or you can simply type camaro5 and depress Ctrl and Enter together.

I had the Issue while the site was down but now its not there. I myself didn't have to do anything to get the message to go away on any of my computers. But some people are having the issue. Seems like a DNS (Domain Name System).

Basically DNS translates a Ip for a web page to a name like Camaro5. Most likely with the attack the IP for the website changed to avoid any further attacks which is causing your old bookmarks to attempt to go to an old non existent IP.

Just incase someone forgets. If your on a laptop for most you need to hold the fn key to use one of F keys. So for some laptops that combo could be CNTRL FN F5
