northo Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 Right then: I have been on holiday for a while, and now, to great fanfare, celebration and dancing in the streets of my home country I have returned. But it seems not everything is as I left it. Now when I try to access friendsofhabanos.com I am asked to download a suspicious looking file, and can't get onto the main site. What new witchcraft is this? Is it something to do with the planned upgrade to the forums? I saved it on my computer but the same thing happens when I try again.

Tampa1257 Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 You are not alone, I am only able to access the FOH Forum through the main web site of Cigar Czar. We are still waiting the new Forum, but this downloading of a file does not make sense to me, yet it happens every time I try to get on FOH. Rob, what's the deal?

Guest Warren Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 No such problem here , perhaps you've just got a virus from downloading all that porn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miami101 Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 Hi Guys I'm looking at the site as stated above. I downloaded the file, and took it apart, and review the binary code. It looks like the main index page might be corrupted. Therefore when you hit the site IE, or the browser you are using does not know what to do with it. I'm not sure why it try's to download....I going to use fiddler and see what I find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miami101 Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 If you hit this page the redirection is working on the .com, and it is working for....www.friendsofhabanos.com/index.php So my above statement is incorrect... It loos like this might be the problem...I would have to guess the issue is on the Apache server that is hosting the site on the root site settings, and how it handle the .com default header....when you land on the .com site it should bring up the index, and then redirect. Out put: Server: Apache/1.3.41 (Unix) mod_log_bytes/1.2 mod_bwlimited/1.4 mod_auth_passthrough/1.8 FrontPage/5.0.2.2635 mod_ssl/2.8.31 OpenSSL/0.9.7a I'm getting a 304 on the page: Apache error code listed below: Redirection 3xx 300 Multiple Choices 301 Moved Permanently 302 Moved Temporarily 303 See Other 304 Not Modified 305 Use Proxy Here is the redirect on the site: http://www.friendsofhabanos.com/index.php"'> http://www.friendsofhabanos.com/about.html"'> http://www.friendsofhabanos.com/contact.html"'> http://www.friendsofhabanos.com/faq.html"'> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miami101 Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 I think the site might be load balance on two web servers maybe. Perhaps we might be hitting the one with issues. try to hit the site via .com. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miami101 Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 Then again it might be all that cigar porn I have been looking at!;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sleeper Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 Same problem I've been having for a week or so. Even I I attempt to connect to friendsofhabanos.com via a search engine, the problem is still there. I have been going through the czar site as well.

Miami101 Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 Just hit the site via www.friendsofhabanos.com/index.php or www.friendsofhabanos.com/board.php This should work with out issues.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
