Server downtime

[ghisler(Author)]

Today August 8, 2013 at approx. 2AM Eastern Time the VPS server hosting ghisler.com and ghisler.ch had a fatal crash. According to our hostimg company Servint, it was a hardware failure, so they had to restore the backups to a new server. Unfortunately it took them nearly 12 hours (!) to restore.

We apologize for the long downtime of the forum.

Things aparently do work again, but actually I can no longer log in with Firefox, although with Internet Explorer I can. I hope this will be mended soon.

Try deleting the cookies for ghisler.ch.

[J.A. Gruys]

Thank you. I did remove any cookies with "ghisler" in the title or text. Made no difference.

Am I the only one who has this problem?

Could you try again now, please? It may have been a misconfiguration of PHP (order in which variables are loaded).

[J.A. Gruys]

I did try again. Still no success, unfortunately.

Then you need to check better for cookies from ghisler.ch:
1. Go to some other page than ghisler.ch
2. Close your browser
3. Re-open your browser
4. Delete all cookies from ghisler.ch
5. Close your browser
6. Re-open your browser

Did everything you told me. Still no success.

Is there any other place to look for relevant cookies in Windows7 exept
c:\Users\[name]\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Cookies\?

And am I the only one having this problem?

You need to delete them within the Firefox settings. The cookies above are the ones used by Internet Explorer. Go to the Firefox settings and click on the mask icon. There is a link to delete single cookies.

That's working. Thanks, Christian.
Just to precise :
Then, in the list window, you search "ghisler.ch" or you type it in the box above.

Thank you very much! That was the trick, which was new to me. Everything appears to be OK now (though I am still wondering what really happened...)

Wow, now I know that I had 16 ghisler cookies files ...
Are all of them really needed?

Best regards from Barcelona, Spain
