Can Not Access CASTPICS. Anyone else?

[jonp]

For a couple of weeks I have been unable to access castpics. I get the following error message:

Failed to connect to sundog5_LoadData at mysql1.hostica.com. Error: mysqlnd cannot connect to MySQL 4.1+ using the old insecure authentication. Please use an administration tool to reset your password with the command SET PASSWORD = PASSWORD('your_existing_password'). This will store a new, and more secure, hash value in mysql.user. If this user is used in other scripts executed by PHP 5.2 or earlier you might need to remove the old-passwords flag from your my.cnf file


Anyone know what this means

Seems to work okay with my abysmally slow dial-up connection.

I saw that new content had been added, maybe try clearing your cookies?

I am the about the last person I would take computer advice from, I really don't know much about these things; especially since my computer that had XP on it died.

Www.castpics.net is working fine for me

I cant access cast pics load data either. I get the same thing with my Ipad so maybe it is a mobile device issue with the database... I will try it on my computer as well...

Doesn't work for me, hasn't for some time.

Here is the link to try... cast pics itself is working ok.. it is just the load data module that is broke for me... I am using the laptop for this post after trying the mobile device above.... doesnt work for either....

It's the load database lookup feature that requires a DB connection at

It's been broke for a month or so.

No luck here either.

This has stopped working Since mid May. I believe Sundog5 is the owner of the site. He has to update the setting for the call to the database server. I tried to contact the link for the website owner back in May however the e-mail address bounces.
Sure wish this could be fixed

I just went to www.castpics.net, and I could navigate to any part, even the load data.

You can search the Load Database & bring up all the hundreds of loads?

[brtelec]

The above link works fine for me and I can navigate the entire site. I tried it with Internet Explorer and with FireFox and have no problem.

The whole site is being rewritten and will have a new version up shortly. I have not fixed the old version as I have been working on the new.

Thanks for your efforts wiljen.

[jonp]

Thanks wiljen. No one had posted about it and i was worried i had done something to my comp...again

[DrBill33]

I received the same response. I await the new site!

[wiljen]

Took longer than hoped but new site is up.

[bedbugbilly]

I was able to get to the new site but I was looking for the information on the Ideal/Lyman 310 tools and can't seem to find it on the new site? Am I missing something? Or is it not going to contain that anymore? thanks.

The way they have it set up now, you have to click on 'the bench'.

Once that page loads, the 'the bench' tab is a different color, and THEN you can hover over it and a pull-down menu appears that includes the link you want.


I am betting this is a coding glitch and will be gone in a week!

[bedbugbilly]

Thank you!

How about a day - should be set to always show the sub-menus now.

[jonp]

ok, well the old site had the castpics and several other links on the bottom of the screen. I don't see any down there now and can't find the castpics at all??

I think we are all in the same boat, have tried--no luck.

[wiljen]

hey that is a link on Castboolits you are fussing about - you can always open a browser and head over to http://castpics.net or now that it is combined http://www.RRonline.org from the reloader's reference side of things.
