Cannot connect to Photoshelter [SOLVED]
« on: April 21, 2010, 10:45:06 AM »
Photo Mechanic seems unable to connect to Photoshelter:
"Hostname not known: ul.photoshelter.com"

Logging in via browser works fine. This was working a couple weeks ago.

From the Console:
4/21/10 11:38:30 AM   [0x0-0x12e12e].com.camerabits.PhotoMechanic[2229]   [Wed Apr-21-2010 11:38:30.959][2980265984] scan_for_templates: ignoring empty search path(s)

Ethan,

Photo Mechanic seems unable to connect to Photoshelter:
"Hostname not known: ul.photoshelter.com"

Logging in via browser works fine. This was working a couple weeks ago.

It looks like your ISP's DNS server isn't working at the moment.  ul.photoshelter.com cannot be resolved to an IP address so it fails.  Contact your ISP.  The reason your web browser continues to work is that your browser (or the OS) is caching DNS information.  PM does not cache DNS information.
