View Full Version : pages still there when i delete them

Does anyone know anything about this problem:

I have deleted all the pages through FTP. But when I type the domain name in the browser, the pages still load as before. I have cleaned my browser's cache.

Then I deleted that account completely (I have a dedicated) and removed DNS entries for that domain. But in the browser, that domain works just as it did before. Additionally, when I ping that domain from my computer, it works.

I am sure this isn't a problem with my browser, because the page actually loads. But from where?

Confused. :confused:

Any Clue?

Thanks,
MD

hmm, try shutting down the http server on your dedicated server, then try and load the site.
if you are using apache, this should stop the server:

/usr/local/apache/bin/apachectl stop

then replace stop with "start" to start the server again after the test.

If it still loads it would suggest that your ISP has cached the site and is still loading it from the cache.

If it stops working then i suggest you have a closer look at your server and make sure you deleted the right directory.

Maybe you should post the site here so someone else can check it as well.

My hunch is that you're not removing the right files, etc.

Pages were loading from my ISP's cache.

Thank you for your help!
