+bth8503 Posted November 5, 2009 Posted November 5, 2009 I have been caching for about a year. I am trying to head out today but seem to have some problems. I am just a basic member and use use the send to gps link on geocaching.com. Today I am geetting the following message and can't figure out why - any ideas? 500 - Internal server error. There is a problem with the resource you are looking for, and it cannot be displayed.
+Paula's Boys Posted November 5, 2009 Posted November 5, 2009 I am getting the same thing. I have run ito the same problem also. However, I am relieved that the problem is not with my computer or GPSr.
NoH2o Posted November 5, 2009 Posted November 5, 2009 we are getting the same message too...we noticed it last night when we went to load the GPS for a weekend trip out to BC today
+bth8503 Posted November 5, 2009 Author Posted November 5, 2009 Well that make me feel better that I'm not the only one. I would assume that geocaching.com is doing maint or maybe a problem on that site. Guess I am doing it manualyl for today and try again next time with better luck. I hope
+DevinandJay Posted November 5, 2009 Posted November 5, 2009 I spoke with Groundspeak this morning about the problem. It is in fact on their end. They indicated dut to the fact it is a widespread problem, their developers are working on it and will hopefully have it back up soon. They could not give a timeframe. (I am in the same boat) Hope that helps a bit.
+2Wheel'in Posted November 5, 2009 Posted November 5, 2009 Evidently (possibly) caused by yesterday's code release. As stated, they are aware of, and are working on it. It's a popular feature and I'm sure they'll get it fixed soon. Bill
+all done Posted November 5, 2009 Posted November 5, 2009 yeeehaaaa! Me too. Good luck to the sites IT folks, I too am glad it is not on my end. Not being a computer genious I did not want to have to figure it out......whew.......
+TheRedArmy Posted November 5, 2009 Posted November 5, 2009 whew. i thought it was my windows 7 upgrade.
+soarfoot Posted November 5, 2009 Posted November 5, 2009 whew. i thought it was my windows 7 upgrade. Same problem...but I thought it was because I had installed GSAK, and the "association" screwed it up. I hope that is not the case. I would still like to download directly from the cache page without having to go through GSAK. soarfoot
kamloopsgirl Posted November 5, 2009 Posted November 5, 2009 Thank's for posting about this, I was going crazy trying to figure it out on my own and thinking I'm an idiot. Hopefully it won't be long.
Space*Cadet Posted November 5, 2009 Posted November 5, 2009 I'm glad to see that I am not the only one who is experiencing this problem! I looked for updates, thinking that was the problem, and updated a newer version for my Garmin, and still had the same message: "500 - Internal server error. There is a problem with the resource you are looking for, and it cannot be displayed." I was starting to get worried that I'd have to remove and reload all the software. Hopefully they get it figured out soon!
+PapaSunny Posted November 5, 2009 Posted November 5, 2009 (edited) I'm getting the same issue, I was trying to load my GPS for a trip to Houston. A work around, but not ideal, is to input the Coords manually into your GPS I may do it for a few, just so I can do some hunting here in Houston. This message comes up when I click on "Send to GPS" 500 - Internal server error. There is a problem with the resource you are looking for, and it cannot be displayed. Using all, Firefox, Safari, and Explorer Edited November 5, 2009 by PapaSunny
+Paula's Boys Posted November 6, 2009 Posted November 6, 2009 Yeah!! They fixed it. I've finally been able to download caches.
