Used redirct or not and pages dont always load

[zero5854]

I noticed that my pages dont always load using the latest version of smf ver 1.1.13

Is there some type of server protection that maybe causes this or is there another reason?

Yes, I had the same problem, I tracked back the source of the problem:
You have to turn on the "Disable hostname lookups?" option.
This is located on Features and Options / Layout and Options.
If this dosn't solve your problem, then you must comment out a few lines in the script.

This has nothing to do with server protection. Try what Tyrael said and if that does not work post back.

I can understand the first thing you said but what lines and why would you have to comment them out. ????

When I was in this situation, I've just debuged the problem, and commented out the part of the script, where it lookup the visitors host name from ip address.
Then when I solved the problem, I found out that it could be disabled from the admin section of the forum.
So I think don't have to edit anything in the script, but if you does, then it should be this:
Change this:
if (!isset($modSettings['host_to_dis']))
$test = @shell_exec('host -W 1 ' . @escapeshellarg($ip));
else
$test = @shell_exec('host ' . @escapeshellarg($ip));
Something like this:
/* if (!isset($modSettings['host_to_dis']))
$test = @shell_exec('host -W 1 ' . @escapeshellarg($ip));
else
$test = @shell_exec('host ' . @escapeshellarg($ip));
*/

In the Sources/Subs.php

But as I said: It can be disabled from the admin area, no need to edit the script itself.

Maybe we should make a wiki, where every cms/blog/etc have a page, where its list how to install, configure on x10hosting, and how to add the ads.

Maybe we'll see about putting something together like this. I'm closing this thread since the issue was resolved.
