Home Workshop Site

[Chris CrewParticipant @chriscrew66644]

The HWS site seems to have disappeared over the weekend. Does anyone know if this is a temporary outage or a permanent loss of a great resource?

[OldironParticipant @oldiron]

Sorry no idea. I have emailed Adam re the problem but as yet have had no reply.

I’ve not been able to access the site for weeks, all I get is,

“Forbidden

You don’t have permission to access this source.

Additionally, a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.”

Just accessed their website without any difficulty using Firefox.

Everything looks normal except for a short obituary.

Doesnt work for me using Firefox. Error message-

jtablesession::Store Failed
DB function failed with error number 1062
Duplicate entry ‘1-‘ for key ‘whosonline’ SQL=INSERT INTO jos_session ( session_id,time,username,gid,guest,client_id ) VALUES ( ‘s6b5v0lb9lefvjf6fdtpso4304′,’1708345585′,”,’0′,’1′,’0’ )

[JasonBModerator @jasonb]

JA it’s Homeworkshop the free ads site not Home and Workshop the tool dealer.

Seemed to have the error from yesterday.

[Chris CrewParticipant @chriscrew66644]

Just tried HWS again (12.40pm 19/2/24) and all I get is:

jtablesession::Store Failed
DB function failed with error number 1062
Duplicate entry ’24d950f968aced986872b0311d713ac9′ for key ‘PRIMARY’ SQL=INSERT INTO jos_session ( session_id,time,username,gid,guest,client_id ) VALUES ( ’24d950f968aced986872b0311d713ac9′,’1708346301′,”,’0′,’1′,’0′ )

Similar to the response Macolm got. I think this started happening on Saturday morning because as far as I can recall I accessed it sometime on Friday 16/2/24 and it was up and running with a couple of new adverts for lathe chucks and a linisher from Bede Tools.

 

 

[JAParticipant @ja]

No. I got the Home and Workhop of Foots Cray website (https://www.homeandworkshop.co.uk/). It is undated.

If you want I can tell you what their special offers are. They have just received a new batch of NZ machine vices.

JA

[peak4Participant @peak4]

The site pings OK, so I guess an internal database error of something similar.
Hopefully it will return given time
https://www.isitdownrightnow.com/homeworkshop.org.uk.html

The alternative site, homeworkshop.club seems to return the same results.

[IanTParticipant @iant]

No, I haven’t been able to access for a month or so – and still can’t.

I don’t know if everyone sees this, but my iPad reports:

 

jtablesession::Store Failed

[ doesn’t mean much to me, I’m afraid ]

[Robert ButlerParticipant @robertbutler92161]

I can’t access – perhaps the team dealing with the installation of the new MEW website have moved on to assist Homeworkshop!!

It’s asking for a username and password now, I tried mine and it does nothing apart from say it is unauthorised.

I have just clicked your copy of the link, John … and it worked fine.

… complete with the inevitable pop-up inviting me to sell my soul to the cookie-monster.

[Michael GilliganParticipant @michaelgilligan61133]

… might the problem lie with the use of a pop-up blocker, I wonder ???

[Dave WoottonParticipant @davewootton]

Its working now, I was getting the same message as above for a few days, both on phone and pc, then on monday afternoon I could acess by phone ,but not pc. Cleared the history on the pc and found I could gain access. Must admit to being a complete computer numpty, my default position is switch of and on or clear the history, if that doesn’t work it’s call my son!. Glad it’s working I need a workshop clearout, SWMBO  wants to move again!

Thanks for the suggestions, they put me on the right track knowing that the URL was correct, switching Adblock Plus off didn’t work but clearing Homeworkshop cookies out did.

John

[IanTParticipant @iant]

Yes, clearing HWS Cookies did the trick for me too.

Hi, I’ve only just seen your post, and although I see you have cured the problem, I used the link from my favourites list that’s been there for a good while, but I did get the thing about about cookie consent, and just made sure everything that could be turned off, was off, and I got straight in.

[Steve FParticipant @stevef]

Hello

I think it’s moved to a slightly different url

https://www.homeworkshop.club/

Both URLs seem to point to the point to the same IP address, so ~.club or ~.org.uk should both work.

Bill

[Nicholas FarrParticipant @nicholasfarr14254]

Hi, yes my link is ‘.org.uk/ and it works OK.
