I am trying to verify my domain with Google Apps to no success.
So far, I have tried 3 main methods of verification:
TXT (or CNAME) record.
Meta tag with verification code.
HTML file with verification code name and content.
My domain is http://michaelpumo.com
No matter which form of validation I follow, Google Apps says it cannot verify it. I am all out of ideas.
The HTML file on the server is here:
http://michaelpumo.com/google56f498ff499c68bc.html
The meta tag is viewable in the page source at the top in the head:
<meta name="google-site-verification" content="3scjFuAQJfrnce34RE6TkwF21NlAnWk7VUwXi86bRs8">
My DNS records look something like:
I have used dig, ping and other commands to verify DNS. I have also requested for Google to clear its DNS cache, as well as clear my own local caches etc. No luck.
Any pointers on something I might be doing wrong?
For anyone wondering, I hadn't done anything wrong with the setup. For some reason it just wasn't working. I got on the phone to Google and they fixed it up for me within a few minutes.
I would recommend getting on the phone if you have similar issues.

in past week I had to change my server to cloud (Digital Ocean Droplet), I am using a shared service but the concurrent user reached the number of Php execution (30). I shifted the entire site and site is up and running successfully, moreover Yandex and Bing are able to crawl my website but it is Google that I want.
I have got like 100K errors in console dashboard and raising, google ads bot isn't able to crawl my pages too. I have checked the following and there is no error in these.
.htaccess and redirections.
SSL
DNS records (I shifted name servers to DO and then back to registrar to see if the DNS was the error) but it doesn't seem like it is.
I double checked robots.txt it is fine by the google robots.txt validator and other search engines.
Similar setups are running on other servers with no changes at all the are fine.
UfW, I am new to it but due to its temporary nature I don't think it is the reason. I disabled it and checked it doesn't make difference.
I haven't blocked anything on apache so it should be good too.
The error that appears is attached at screenshots
Help me out as instead of scaling, I am going down bad.
I repointed the DNS through another service it took its time but it is resolved. I wasn't sure about the error, now I am, it is because of improper or partial DNS resolution issue.
When I type a web address in my web browser, "force.com" or "salesforce.com" comes up in it. Here's an example: https://k12parentportal.force.com/portal_enrollmenthome>. Everything is correct except force.com being in it. I think the actual address is: https://K12parentportal/enrollmenthome>; but, it's happened so often that I can't type the real address. It happens in Internet Explorer and Firefox. I reset IE, but it keeps happening. This has been going on for several weeks. It will also redirect my browser to "salesforce.com". I had never been to your website until my browser was redirected. I ran malewarebtyes and HitmanPro Anti Malware to remove it, but it's still there. I have tried everything to remove it from my computer, but nothing works. Can you please help me with this? Thank you. Beverly `
This is a website for programmers, not a place to talk to Salesforce the company.
This is not a valid url because it is not a valid domain name: https://K12parentportal/enrollmenthome HINT, no .com
force.com is a business platform and is trustworthy. Google it.
I have moved an Orchard CMS site from one host and server to another host and server. The IP address is obviously different.
All the files have been correctly copied and the correct html is rendered.
However, all the styles sheets produce a 404 error. I repeat that the files are where they should be.
Indeed, any other resource, such as images or stylesheets produce the same problem. Again, the files are all in place.
Can anyone think what could be causing this. Nothing has changed other than the server and IP.
I have another orchard site on the same IP and server that is working fine. However, it was not moved from a different server.
I ping for the site and it comes up with the correct IP address for the new server
EDIT:
Not sure that this is Orchard specific, although something related to Orchard's themes and how they work could be to blame... But I really can't see what.
It sounds much more like an IIS issue.
Can you get the CSS files, by entering their URLs into the browser address-bar directly?
Try "Copy image location" or from the Image Properties, of one of the failed images. Again, can you get this if you enter it direct into the browser?
Check the URL of failed resources, against the URL of working HTML resources or dynamic pages. make sure there are no differences in webapp path or context..
You'll also need to try Ctrl-R reloading.
There could also possibly be some caching in the way.. that might be holding the "404" or "not found" results, even after the content has moved. Try & shutdown/ or force refresh all server & proxy caches.
The server people got back to me. They changed the "website to 4.0 Integrated Pipeline mode." and all now works. Go figure.
I am sure I had checked that it was in Integrated Pipeline mode, but hey ho.
I've got a bit of a problem with Google's Change of Address function on the Google Webmaster tools. I hope that I got the right part of the Stack Exchange for this.
Basically, for six years I've been using a blogging platform blogsome.com (which hosts domains like http://site-address.blogsome.com), which is basically a hosted wordpress server. I've had no complaints about it, until they recently announced that they would close down on a very, very short notice.
With this, I found it a good opportunity to set up a domain of my own (let's call it http://site-adress.net for now). Setting up the domain and website went well, but when I went to Google Webmaster Tools to tell it about the change of address, this proved to be surprisingly difficult. In particular, when I tried the "Change of Address"-option on the dashboard, I get the message that this option is not available for subdomains.
What method would there be to correctly tell google that my site has changed? I cannot use 301-redirects, because 1) I do not have access to do that on blogsome, and 2) blogsome will be shutting down really soon (read: within a week; the news was on a very short notice, and I spent most of that time actually setting up the website). I've also read somewhere that you should keep your old site alive for 180 days, and again that is no option for me either.
The best option is to use a .htaccess file (plain text file)
And put this inside it and upload it to your site.
Redirect 301 / http://www.yournewdomain.com/
If you cant do that you might be able to upload a new index.php with the following inside it.
<?php
header( "Status: 301 Moved Permanently" );
header( "Location: http://www.yournewdomain.com/" );
exit(0)
?>
If you cant do that either, then say what you can actually do on the server?
Do you have any actually access to files? Or can you edit the templates?
You should be able to move it in gwt i'm not 100% sure, I never done it with a subdomain or a blog-hosted site. So I might be wrong here.
Add your new domain with the blog to your gwt account and get it verified.
Then in GWT goto your bloghosted site then to Site Configuration > Change of address
And then select your new domain under the "Tell us the URL of your new domain" part and hit Submit
I am facing a strange thing when i open some URL. The URL is (www.jobserve.com)
When i open this URL from my home, it opens some web page. Same url if i open from my office network, i get a entirely differnt URL, which is what i want.
Both, my home and office are in same city in India(3 Km. apart!) but somehow from my home network, i get served a entirely different page which is not what i am trying to open.(The page opening up in the office one is desired one. Office network has proxy/firewall which could be shielding the IP address for opening to outside world!).
My question is why is it happening so, because both accesses are happening from same country/city(but different ISPs though!), so there cannot be a country/IP specific host/content served differently than the global content of the same server.
So what could be happening here?
This raised another question in my mind(when i tried to find ip of the server using nslookup and domain name which returned error - "can't find www.jobserve.com/: Non-existent domain"):-
How can i find IP address of the web server using the domain name other than nslookup which is not working for this particular domain/url?
I recall there were some sites which find geographical location of server and show that pictorially, but i am not able to recall the url for that? Does anyone know?
Thanks,
-AD.
Some sites look at the incoming IP address, lookup where it's coming from and then take various actions they think relevant to you - usually, redirecting you to a more-local site.
Of course, lots of sites react if they think they've "seen you before." For example, there may be cookies that tell them something about you. Or, they may be reacting to your browser.
Sometimes, organizations look at the source IP address and if it's coming from a business they may respond differently than if it's from a non-business ("home") IP.
And, sometimes companies intercept IP traffic and edit it in various ways. This is not normally done to web pages, but if your employer isn't happy with your watching porn at work ( -smile- ), they may do something about it! ...China is well known for doing this type of interception...
I work for an UK based company and all my regional settings are UK based. Moreover the internet is itself from UK so all websites act as if I am from UK.
Google.com goes to google.co.uk
virgin, T mobile ads every where
Does this give any idea about why you are getting a different website in office?
For finding the IP address: don't use a slash. Just
nslookup www.jobserve.com
Alternatively, you can use a website like http://www.domaintools.com/ (there are many others, that's just the first one that comes to my mind).
