Posted: Fri Nov 02, 2007 6:28 am Post subject: NeoOffice download unavailable from Safari-Leopard |
|
When I try to download from the NeoOffice website, it never goes to the actual download page. I can get to it from my pc just fine.
If I type the direct address http://www.neooffice.org/neojava/en/maindownload.php it comes up but doesn't have any of the usual text or donation boxes.
Might I also suggest that you put a "contact webmaster" link on your webpage so people could contact you with problems like this. Thanks. |

Moved to Fuzkd Servers.
Do you have cookies enabled in Safari under Leopard? Did you try to access maindownload.php directly or through the download.php page? Have you tried another browser under 10.5? |

I can get to the NeoOffice Download page through the main site using Safari on Leopard. I validated the html on the NeoOffice main page and the download page and both showed valid html.
Some things to try;
- What happens if you clear the cache by selecting the Safari :: Empty Cache menu
- Check for haxies.
- Check your proxy configuration. The machine I use is directly attached to the internet. |

To follow on to narf's comment, the problem is likely on your end not ours. You need to follow narf's suggestions to see if either Safari is messed up or if you are connecting to the internet through a proxy that is restricting access to our site.
Did you upgrade your machine to Leopard or did you use the "Archive and Install" option? If you just upgraded and your machine had haxies installed before the upgrade, Safari and other applications can get seriously messed up.

Empyting the cache did the trick, however the page still doesn't look the same in Safari as Explorer, In Safari I just get the basic 2.2.2 downloads with links, Explorer I get the section asking for donations plus the 2.2.2 downloads section.
I did check this with Safari on my Pc, it works correctly, must be something in my Leopard Safari. |

Did you give a donation at some previous time using Safari? If so, your Safari browser may have a cookie that tells our website to hide the donation buttons so that we don't annoy our donors.
You can test this by selecting the Safari :: Prefences menu and, in the dialog that appears, press the Security icon and set Cookies to Never. This will delete all of your cookies and not allow any new ones to be set.
If after doing this you see the donation buttons, then my theory is correct. In any case, if you try this, be sure to go back and set Cookies to the old setting as most sites (including this one) require cookies to be enabled.

Yes I have donated several times. I used the "reset safari" option, which clears all of the cookies. Everything is now working OK. Thanks
I often recommend NeoOffice to other people, just wanted to make sure they saw it. |
