Can't Access Lifehacker - Troubleshooting Instructions

If the site is UP but you cant access the page, try one of the below solutions:

Browser Related Problems

  • Force a full refresh for the site. This can be achieved by pressing CTRL + F5 keys at the same time on your favourite browser (Firefox, Chrome, Explorer, etc.)
  • Clear the temporary cache and cookies on your browser to make sure that you have the most recent version of the web page. For instructions choose your browser : firefox chrome internet explorer

Fix DNS Problems

A Domain Name System (DNS) allows a site IP address (192.168.x.x) to be identified with words (*.com) in order to be remembered more easily, like a phonebook for websites. This service is usually provided by your ISP.

  • Clear your local DNS cache to make sure that you grab the most recent cache that your ISP has. For Windows - (Start > Command Prompt > type "ipconfig /flushdns" and hit enter). For details choose your operating system :
  • If you can access a website at office or from a 3G network yet it's not working on your computer, it is a good idea to use an alternative DNS service other than your ISPs. OpenDNS or Google Public DNS are both excellent and free public DNS services.
  • Check our help page for step-by-step instructions on configure dnshow to change your DNS.

The gawker sites can be accessed through live.sitename.com

In this case, live.lifehacker.com . However it is only the newest stuff, older posts on the flooded servers are not accessible.

Chris Whipple · 30 October 2012 - 08:02

Lifehacker, along with all Gawker sites are down due to the hurricane causing their servers to be flooded.

Zach Knights · 30 October 2012 - 06:30

Seems somebody followed step by step this tutorial and tested it onto them :D LOL

Keep getting a "Connection to upstream server" error. It might be because the host is updating code. Check out Australia's new site.
