well ive been having a few teething problems with getting my site working properly so am going to post the fixes.
All of the problems were with Safari, not dreamhost which works fine.
Basically i had to reset safari completely after downloading a new version which i guess makes quite some sense as maybe its not quite compatible with th ecookies etc.
i was still seeing a weird behaviourwith the wikki main page though – it was showing me a really old cached version of th eindex page and refused to update it :
its very wierd though – safari must do some odd caching which it doesnt reset when getting an index page.
so:
I go to the URL http://www.planet-ix.com/mindweb/
and its supposed to loade the file called index.php right ?
this it does but it seems to be loading an old cached version which means it doesnt redirect properly to the main page which has the url
http://www.planet-ix.com/mindweb/index.php?title=Main_Page
right so i tried to edit the index.php and put a different string in there to proove this.
I still see the old page.
So i thought i will replace the file completely and created a new empty file called index.html which should override the index .php.
sure enough after a couple of clicks and refreshes (it didnt recognise it straight away), i get it to return a blank page at index.html
then by some miracle when i rename the index.html, and refresh the page, everything works !!
who knows but maybe it would be worth a tip somewhere on the faq incase anyone else comes accros it.
now i am happy dreamhost customer all my web work:)
