Around the Sun Is Back Up, Site Meter the Culprit

August 2nd, 2008

In case you checked Around the Sun on Friday afternoon/evening (August 1) and got an error message, please note that the problem has been fixed. We’re back up.

If you have a website and use Site Meter, check your website in Internet Explorer to make sure it’s working. On some sites, Site Meter is causing an error message in IE (“Internet Explorer cannot open the Internet site …. Operation aborted”) and IE is unable to open these sites. In fact, the Site Meter website itself currently crashes in IE as well. At this time, the only fix I know of is to remove or comment-out the Site Meter code in your template. Not ideal, but hopefully Site Meter will resolve the issue soon.

The ultimate fix, sitemeter.com is the problem. If you go into your internet explorer security settings and add the following to restricted sites then the page loads.

It looks like Site Meter figured it out and described the issue here.

For some reason, Site Meter changed the URL of the page that explains the errors that were occurring. Here is the updated link or just go to the main page of their blog.
