Thread: error 12007

Hi,

Does anyone know what this means? I've tried to re publish my site after making a few changes, i deleted some old pages that i didn't want in there and generally just tidied the site up and now i can't publish it, i've never come across this error before

thanks for any info

Provide a link and we can check to see if its your browser or posibly a wireless connection ??

Hi,

my website is www.dmfplumbing.com

thanks

Hi
Your website is loading without any problems for me, and I tried it out in 3 different browser..........

Hi,

No thats the old one, i've tried updating it since and when i went to publish the new one today it came up with the error message

Most of the google explanations for this error are to do with Internet Explorer and/or wireless connections.

Have you tried rebooting your computer ?

No i haven't but i will now, fingers crossed!!!!

good luck and come back and let us know..........

Hi,
I have rebooted my computer and my website still won't publish, i've tried it with different pages as well just in case it doesn't like one certain page and it still comes up with the message, anybody know what might be the problem?
thanks
sara

Try this...

Internet explorer, tools, internet options, go to advanced tab.. scroll down to the section titlled SECURITY.. and UNTICK the box that says "check for server certificate revocation*". Apply settings ok.. close explorer, may have to reboot.

Mine did this the other day after the GREAT UPDATE and that was the culprit.

If that doesnt work.. try this solution

Hi
Still no joy with publishing, still coming up with the error, i tried your suggestion karenmac, but still no joy , i have 2 accounts with bluevoda, so i tried the other one as well and its the same problem with that one, but thank god i haven't made any changes to that one so its still online, but the dmfplumbing.com account is just showing a list instead of the actual site now, although i deleted some files so thats probably why!!!
can anyone suggest a reason why error 12007 is popping up when i try to publish?

your firewall is blocking somewhere...try readding bv to it as full access program.

Hiya,
Still no joy, what does it mean if it says name server could not be resolved?

that it cant find the domain...

Karen

so do you think it could be something i've done or could it be bluevoda? can i do anything to make it find the domain name again?

thats what the error message is saying when i try to publish, internet exception error 12007 Details the server name could not be resolved

Check your dns or put in a support ticket and mention this thread.

how do i check my dns?

Have a look at this tutorial
If your not sure put in a support ticket.

If this was an addon domain, make sure that you added it correctly thru control panel and that you log into where you purchased the name and point it to the vodahost server.

You could use another computer with a different connection..say at a library or something and see if you can ftp to the site from there. If you can ...then the problem is your machine and your firewall is blocking your connection..or you have a conflicting statement in you windows host file forbidding it...again these statements are usually misconfigured either by a firewall or a virus. Virus characteristics keylog you and take your passwords but dont let you actually login or go anywhere.

Thanks everyone for your help, I still haven't got my own computer sorted for publishing but i did manage it from a friends pc, just glad its up and running, thanks again

Hi - just came on board and noted a problem. I've still a minor problem to solve. I will be checking the Security section to see if that prevents updates. I don't knpw about 12007 but try this:
start-programs-system tools-system restore ... and put the date at just before your problem occurred. It might just work.
