I'm trying to migrate the current forum (http://www.dwsc.commrich.co.uk) (which has just crashed but that doesn't matter at the mo) to another web host (forum.draycotewater.co.uk).

I took a copy a couple of months ago of all files and moved it to the new host.

I randomly get "The page cannot be displayed because an internal server error has occurred." errors. Some times I can log in, some times I can't.

My new web host says that the problem is with the pages as basic .asp pages work.

I've reached a dead-end...

can anyone suggest anything?

thanks

The first thing you can try is disabling friendly errors for IE (if that's what you're using). It's under tools->Internet options on the advanced tab.

Then, hopefully, the errors you're getting should be more descriptive. It should tell you the file and the line generating the error and make troubleshooting a little easier by giving you someplace to start looking. If you're still stuck even after you get that info you can post the more descriptive error message and someone here is can ususally point you in the right direction.

I was able to get the site to show the error, but my phone only shows friendly errors so I can't see for myself just yet. When I get to a PC I can give it another try.

Clearly intermitent points to a server side issue. Does your host have a good explanation for the intermitance?

No their response is that its the code. A basic asp page works every time.

Really? So how do they explain that part of the time the code works without issues?

I hate when hosts provide no explanations like that - because that is a no explanation. Yes, likely the issue results from having code that connects to the database, but that should lead them to find out the causes for this, not the other way around. Our code is used on thousands of websites, maybe they can explain how is that possible then?

Also, you have a current host, did you experience any issues?

No problems with my current host hence why I went to my host before coming to you guys...

Perhaps I try Dataflame again.

Thanks for your advice.

It's clearly a server issue, no matter what your new host says. I wouldn't really be able to trust them, with such behavior.
