Since upgrading to Lion, Safari is experiencing "Failed to open page" problems very frequently. I suspect it is something to do with maintaining sessions, as the php scripts running the pages I am having problems with use sessions to maintain state - I know this as I wrote the scripts.
A refresh of the page often then works.
Is anyone else seeing this?
iMac 27, Mac OS X (10.7), iChat 5.0.3
I'm experiencing the page load fail in Firefox, Chrome and Safari alike. I'm thinking it must be system wide with Lion.
i experienced this too. this is way too often and really annoying that i have to go back, fill the captcha again, and resubmit the form. 😟 😟 😟
I thought it was an internet connection problem,
but its obviously not if its happening to all of you!!!
I don't have LION ... I have Tiger and its happening to me too...
**This happens on all browsers!!!
It has to be an operating system problem!
PROBABLY SOMETHING FROM THE LAST UPDATE!!!
Its VERY annoying indeed specially because I WORK ON INTERNET!!!
ANYONE FOUND A SOLUTION?
I agree with camicazzi that this is browser independent and appeared after that most recent update (3 days ago). It also occurs regardless of wifi network. It's really annoying.
Same problem here. 13" unibody MacBook Pro, all applications using internet are affected, not just web browsers. Problem becomes much worse on low strength wifi connections. Very annoying!
I've filed a bug at http://bugreport.apple.com (10469682)
After 1 day of testing I no longer experience this problem to such an obvious extent. The net.inet.tcp.keepidle and net.inet.tcp.keepintvl variables were modified in /etc/sysctl.conf. Their values were extremely low. I don't know how this happened. The solution was to set these values to their default values net.inet.tcp.keepidle=7200000 and net.inet.tcp.keepintvl=75000 using the "sudo sysctl -w" command.
i think I may have found a solution by a) clearing cache and b) following instructions on dns input from this link https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3046550?start=0&tstart=0 , this worked on a wireless network too, if this fails im going to try stopping dns pre fetching but seems to have solved it and definitely speeded up safari
I've been getting a similar message lately that says "Safari can't open blah blah becuase the servere where this page is located isn't responding." I spoke with an Apple rep and he said that because of my latest updates, some servers are not yet compatible. This made sense since I immediately started having the same problem with Youtube that resolved in a couple days after (I conjecture) they updated their side of things. The server I am currently having problems with belongs to a much smaller entity that may not even be aware there is an issue with the latest Lion. I don't know much about all the technolinguo in all this stuff, but at least I found something that made sense and was consistent with my own experience with Youtube.
Lion: Safari can't open the page
