Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
I am having trouble accessing certain websites like Abobe for example. When I type in the url it comes up with this message:
"The requested URL / was not found on this server.
Apache/2.2.21 (Unix) DAV/2 Server at www.adobe.com Port 80" I don't know how to fix this. If anyone could help me figure this problem out I'd really appreciate it. I have a MacBook Pro, OS X 10.7.3MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.3)
Jeng, can you give a shot to this?
enter into Safari URL field:
And see what happens. This is an IP address of Adobe's website.
I've searched this discussion forum for "URL not found port 80" and am sad to report that you are not the only one with this problem. It almost looks like a bug.
I wish someone else would pitch in here with ideas...
I did not see powercyling of the cable-modem listed...
So lets not miss any early obvious steps.
Time to start compiling some cliff notes, so we don't have to keep re-reading while trying to crack this problem.
Symptom:
"The requested URL / was not found on this server.
Apache/2.2.21 (Unix) DAV/2 Server at www.adobe.com Port 80"Occurs while trying specific sites such as www.adobe.com/
OS:
10.7.3.
System Wide:
Yes - All accounts affected
Application(s):
Safari, Chrome, FF
Extra details:
Additional computer when plugged into same network was able to find URLs without any difficulty
Alright, so I tried entering the IP addresses into the URL bar and both worked. I'd still like to figure out why I can't access it from the traditional way of entering in adobe.com though. But this is a good temporary fix. Good idea.
I have tried accessing the website on my computer from multiple different locations and I am still unable to access it.
I just did the Repair Permissions idea and so far nothing has changed. Should I restart my computer and give it a try?
I spoke too soon, those IP addresses grant me access to the home page only, any links I click on to go further into the website fail and produce the same error as I have been having before.
There have been some known issues with DNS prefetching...
Open the terminal and copy/paste this command:
defaults write com.apple.safari WebKitDNSPrefetchingEnabled -boolean falseHit return...
Close Safari, re-open and lets see what happens....
I reset Safari and there was no change, same with putting that command in the terminal.
Are you running any sort of Anti-virus software? Anything to do with malware?
Do you see Growl listed anywhere?
No antivirus or malware that i am aware of. But I do see growl on here, what is it?
I"m tempted to call it malware, except for the fact that it is supposed to do something productive. Unfortunately it is often installed in secret after pyggy-backing off other installations. I've noticed a lot of users have been having lots of problems when this Open-Sourced item is installed.
You may want to un-install it:
Guys.... It just probably because you have a crkd photoshop or adobe product installed. Check your /etc/hosts file and you will see that all the adobe's URLs are mapped on your localhost (127.0.0.1). Besides, when scanning the network for www.adobe.com you would have seen before the listed open ports something like:
"
Port Scanning host: 127.0.0.1
Open TCP Port: 80 http
Open TCP Port: 88 kerberos
"
. . . !

Is that it? I have exactly the same problem and have been following this thread. What now?
Well... I guess that commenting all the lines concerning the adobe's url in your /etc/hosts file would make the Adobe web site reachable again.
- Edit /etc/hosts
- Put a dash # at the beginning of each line containing adobe
- Save the changes
Thanks Alain but my Computer Literacy extends only so far. What does
"Well... I guess that commenting all the lines concerning the adobe's url in your /etc/hosts file would make the Adobe web site reachable again." mean?
What and where is my /etc/hosts file?
You can read an excellent description of the hosts file here: http://decoding.wordpress.com/2009/04/06/how-to-edit-the-hosts-file-in-mac-os-x- leopard/
It will help you also edit your file.
Or I think that you can also access it with the Finder on the following location: Macintosh HD -> Private -> etc
(if I remember well. I cannot verify to be sure I'm on my iPhone now)
I hope it helped.
Can't access websites, "URL not found on server"?
