Server Header Checker - 302 Error

hbbt · Joined: 05 May 2007 Posts: 30

I dont know whats wrong with my site but it has been doing this for awhile.

My Home Based Business site is currently having problems working right and returning the right server header.

Everytime I go and use webrankinfo's server header checker it gives me the dreaded 302 error and that is why my pages (and forum there) wont link right.

Can anyone give me more insight to this? I will PAY for this to be resolved if at all possible!

I appreciate any feedback, suggestions, or help in this matter! I am just exhausted trying to figure out what could possibly be wrong!

What is strange with your issue, because actually, I never saw one like it, is that no supposed session ID shows up in url while browsing, and web-snifer.net return this kind of header whatever the query : The home

Thanks dcz for your post.

I am not exactly a pro at all of this so I dont really know how to "test" different things or what exactly to do next.

I have tested it on all of my sites, and use godaddy php hosting.

Here are my other sites that I have with godaddy .. all are on separate hosting accounts.

-http://www.whyev.com
-http://www.liquidvitaminsleader.com -http://www.liquidcellularzeolites.com
-http://www.edcgoldbuilders.com
and thats it I think.

All of those sites seem to be working just fine and am having no problems with them but for whatever reason my www.homebasedbusinesst.com site is not ..

I have been using this site - http://www.webrankinfo.com/english/tools/server-header.php and when I check my Forums link it comes up with the same 302 error .. in fact all of my pages do?

DCZ, I am willing to do whatever it takes .. if you want my FTP login or whatever .. I just dont know what to do about it and it is very frustrating!

Well I guess some money can fix anything.

Called up godaddy and they gave me some more BS and ulitmately reached into my pockets and made me get a Dedicated Hosting IP for $52 .. oh well at least it is now showing 200 status ok for my business site!

That's for sure better, and it definitely was an issue with your server.

Now you should proceed with installing the zero duplicate for your forum.

And please, do not post more links than required Wink

I will proceed on with the zero dup mod ..

What exactly will this do .. I am new to all of this ..

And what other mods do you recommend?

dcz

Well, I guess we are now going off topic on this thread.

The zero duplicate does what's told on the releases threads, things like :

http://www.phpbb-seo.com/boards/is-it-a-duplicate-vf45/
http://www.phpbb-seo.com/boards/viewforum.php?f=45

For all phpBB urls.

OK .. will get on this.

When looking at the install instructions, do I have to pay attention to any of the things that are mentioned before I installing ... I mean I read them but dont know if any of them apply to me and my forums?

dcz

Well, the better would be to proceed in the zero duplicate forum.

The best advice when it comes to installing mod rewrite and http redirection is to test on a local server before you go online, to prevent some basic error in editing that could be a bit stressful to deal with on a live site.

Besides, the mods are easy to install, and unless you where previously using another type of url rewriting, or if your forum already has dozen of thousands of indexed pages, you can install the mod safely, just make sure you check the returned header as mentioned.

Ok I will move there.

Also .. something I dont know whats going on .. but if I typed in

homebasedbusinesst monavie (which monavie is one of my pages) the first result comes up as

http://www.homebasedbusinesst.com/?ref=s0d.org

Which is really strange because

1) I dont know what that is

2) It has my updated title tag and google doesnt when you type in "www.homebasedbusinesst.com"

3) It has a pr3 and my regular home page has pr4 .. any idea what the heck this means or is?

dcz

well, this looks like a link meant to count the visitors referred from some website.

If the url went PageRanked, it means the link must have been there for quite some time.

Possible solution for this, mod your home page file, you should be able to 1) still perform the counting, if the option means something, and then 2) HTTP 301 redirect to -http://www.homebasedbusinesst.com/

It's quite important to fix because as is, these two url are duplicates and it concern one of the most important page, the home page.

What do you mean by:

"Still perform the counting if the option means something" .. I dont think I have anything like this that should be counting the clicks or something from another website to mine..

And I dont know what a 301 redirect is? isnt that a bad thing? Did you see the URL I was referring to .. it doesnt come up at all for any other searches that im aware of .. and is there anyway I can find where this is coming from?

Also, what I dont understand is why -http://www.homebasedbusinesst.com/?ref=s0d.org has my UPDATED title tag and google hasnt reindexed my site yet and still has my old title..

dcz

Well, if this links really is useless, then you should HTTP 301 redirect it to you home.

This can be performed within the script building the home page.

Is it php ?

About Google's indexing, well, it's not live, so it just means one of the two duplicate had is cache at Google updated before the other one.
And yes running duplicate does not help, it slows the cache update since there is more than one page to update for your home (from the bots point of view).
