Oops! Google Chrome could not connect to

  • Hi
    My site keeps dropping offline, across all browsers. Today it has done it 4 times and it tends to come back online after about 20 minutes.
    My host company Namesco, who are usually quite helpful, have said it is not their problem/fault, it is down to WordPress and my website.
    Has anyone got any ideas? Thanks very much.

  • Ok so I am not crazy.

    I am on Dreamhost and am experiencing the same exact issue. I can get into the admin, then, if I try to edit ANYthing – the site simply returns a “Oops! Google Chrome could not connect to…” – not a 404, not a 500 error, it simply acts as if the site does not exist.

    Host says all is well on their end, and even, they can see the site fine when this happens.

    I can clear cookies and flush DNS and still can’t see the site, no matter which browser I use, but I can see it via proxy.

    Something very wacky is going on with this, and I’ve been working on sites for a very long time. This one has me completely baffled.

    Help?

    I should also add that, this is happening to my cp-webmaster who is in Norway as well. I’m in Virginia.

    This is also happening to me. Does anyone have any help?

    I found out that the problem on Dreamhost, was that mod_security was not playing nice with the WordPress install. Whenever I tried to do something, mod_security would kick in and block my IP for 30 minutes.

    I had to edit the domain, and turn off “enhanced security” for now. I need to look up rules and add exceptions for WordPress to my .htaccess from here.

    Hope that helps.
