> What browser are you using? Looks like it doesn't recognize index.htm as the DEFAULT page when just the domain name is used.

It is not the browser's job to guess what file when only the server or a folder is given.

Back a decade ago I know the Xitami and Apache configs. Somewhere was a list of files to return if the URL pointed to a directory. It appears that Apache has spiffed this up past my comprehension, but you can still set it.

Apache:
Code: [Select]
# Example A: Set index.html as an index page, then add index.php to that list as well.
<Directory "/foo">
    DirectoryIndex index.html
    DirectoryIndex index.php
</Directory>

Xitami, xitami.cfg:
Default: default1=index.htm default2=default.htm

That's if you work bare-butt on the server console. Getting hosting from a Big Name you may not have access to config files. In past I just tried all four likely variations index.htm index.html default.htm default.html to see which copy I got.

FWIW, just "http://sluckeyamps.com/" works fine for me. And is VERY much appreciated.

Ha! That's a real error, a 406.
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Status/406
But "In practice, this error is very rarely used." Most servers throw it away and return "something" to the browser. Maybe a glitch in your browser or very-likely in Sluckey's web-host.

Exactly. It's the server's job. So, how do you explain the fact that this particular server will give up an index.htm file as a default for me and you and many others, but pukes an error message when Doug tries to access the link? BTW, I changed the file name from index.htm to index.html and the original link I posted now works fine for Doug. Weird!

So glad the project documentation is back! I did not notice this thread and had replied to a thread regarding the Lightning build:
Quote
Thankfully, some time ago I downloaded most of Sluckey's schematics/layouts. But I really enjoy the website. One of the best for clarity of methods, etc. I had built or rebuilt 50+ amps by the time I saw Sluckey's site, but I ended up learning great stuff. The Visio sketches are impeccable. The Smokey project is a hoot. The wayback machine will get you some, but not all of it.
So Sluckey, is it coming back? I feel like the kid in the old Pepsi ad; say it ain't so Mean Joe.
Expensive to keep a site going - Go Fund Me? I'm in.
So again - thanks. I and others will miss the commentary and the photos. So if you want to bring those back, I'd be happy to support.

It was tremendous pressure! I felt guilty, wake up at all times of the night, doubled my Ice House consumption. I couldn't take it!

How about your scrap book too?  :undecided:

Great info in there too.

Scrap book is included. My visio shape files should also be included. But since it's a zip file rather than a pdf, maybe Doug's automatic file listing code doesn't pick it up? Anyhow, it's on my site.

I went looking for the Bandmaster Trem-O-Nator info and couldn't find it easily. I wound up going back through the "More tremolo" thread and picked out the PDF from the Bandmaster conversion.
I think this would make a cool addition to the site. (unless of course it's already there and I missed it).
I know I'll be making reference to it at some point. Especially since you got me sitting on a VTL5C1.
Thanks again for all you have done and continue to do in 2020.

I know,,,,you've had it back up for less than a day and already some jackass is asking you to do more work  :icon_biggrin:

You can find my more complete "bandmaster" document in the sluckey folder in Hoffman's Schematic Library. Link at the bottom of this page.

I do intend to include the bandmaster on my website and I will update the amp scrapbook to include the Trem-O-Nator. Working on it right now...  :icon_biggrin:
