Issue is Resolved!

I reduced the number of blog entries that appear on the main index page from about 40 latest entries to 8 latest entries, and now it passes through Norton Internet Security 2005 just fine.

Why this resolved the issue is unknown, but, it works.

Good suggestion, but no record that I can find. I have all the alerts set to announce, but no alert is given when I attempt to load the page. The only proof I have that it is Norton is that when I shut NIS off, the site can be loaded and seen, and when I turn NIS back on, the site cannot be loaded or seen. It’s odd.

Weirder still, I can’t narrow it down beyond the NIS package as a whole. I tried shutting off ONLY N’s firewall, and ONLY shutting off N’s virus protection, but I learned the succesful viewing of the site can only be achieved by shutting off the whole NIS package — disabling individual elements doesn’t cut it.

I’ve put an inquiry in to Symantec as well.

I feel it may have something to do with the subdomain situation I mentioned… but I believe it takes up to a day to have a subdomain redirect deactivated or activated, so if I pursue that possibility it could take me several days to test. Urg.

My .htaccess file is quite short, it reads as follows (and this file was created in notepad, so maybe I messed it up?:

SecFilterEngine Off
SecFilterScanPOST Off

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^willbueche.com/blog/$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^blog.willbueche/$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.willbueche.com/blog/$1 [R=301,L]
