Amsnag problems?

[Rail Freak]

Is anyone having Amsnag problems?

 

[Fred Wis.]

I tried about mid day and couldn't get on. But used it about 20 minutes ago and everything was fine.

 

[Rail Freak]

I keep getting Error 404

 

[cpotisch]

The page http://biketrain.net/amsnag2.0/ isn't working (404), but http://biketrain.x10.mx/amsnag2.0/amSnag.php is. The former is probably just some outdated page that they haven't taken down yet.

Neither one is working for me, even after clearing cache and cookies.

For some reason, it seems like neither link works if you click on it from here. However, if you search for Amsnag 2.02 on Google, and select it through there (It'll show up as the third option), it does work. Don't know why that's the case, but it is.

 

[niemi24s]

Some of the difficulty may be with the particular browser in use. I use Chrome, and both links I have for the original AmSnag http://biketrain.net/amsnag/amSnag.php and version 2.02 http://biketrain.x10.mx/amsnag2.0/amSnag.php work OK for me.

 

[Rail Freak]

That worked!!! How did you figure that out??? (Cpotisch,You Amaze Me, Some Times!)

Don't know that I really ever figured anything out - those links have been in my Favorites for quite some time.

Firstly, that page worked when I clicked on it in the first place, but it gave me that 404 when I clicked on it in my post. From there it seemed pretty self explanatory.

Secondly, thank you! Glad I could help.

The link to Amsnag 2.0 that niemi24s included in post #8 worked for me, but the link that cpotisch included in post #4 did not. Each appeared the same in the blue, clickable text of the post, but the actual URLs point to different places. It appears that the target included in cpotish's link has some extraneous characters at the end (specifically, "%A0is.%A0The" following "http://biketrain.x10.mx/amsnag2.0/amSnag.php"),and I assume that is what caused a problem in trying to follow the link.

Thanks. I'm not sure how that happened, because the link that appears in my post is different from the one that seemed to be embedded into it. So that explains why it wasn't working, but not how I managed to change the embedded link to be different from the one I typed. Well, whatever be the reason, it's fixed now, and it's working fine.

Glad I could help.

Well, whatever be the reason, I fixed it, so everything seems to be nice and peachy.

As you said, glad I could help.

Yeah yeah yeah.

Anyone else having Amsnag issues? For me, it hangs or runs very, very slowly - slow as in 20 minutes or more to return results. While it is doing its thing, it occasionally throws this message before getting back to work. And once it is finally done, some dates are missing.

I've had problems with the original AmSnag since shortly after making those 352 queries for the "How Far In Advance To Book?" thread, but it worked beautifully then (4 to 6 Oct). I probably busted it! Sorry, Paul. This is what sometimes displays now after a failed query:



But have had no problems with amSnag version 2.02.

Maybe after you did those 352 queries and compiled it, AmSnag decided that it had fulfilled its destiny and could now leave this world.

Same problems for me using 2.02. It took seven minutes to run a 30-day query for ORL-PHL, then the results was missing fares for six of the 30 days. My guess is that something on the Amtrak end is causing Amsnag issues,

My guess is that it is something at the biketrain.net hosting service. The backup site at http://biketrain.x10.mx/and the server on my own machine work fine. My suggestion is use

http://biketrain.x10.mx/amsnag2.0/amSnag.php

as long as it keeps working. With all the downgrades to LD service, I have sort of lost interest in Amtrak and have moved on to other things.

Sorry to see you're moving on to other things, but stuff happens and life goes on.

Thanks for all your work here over the years.

Best wishes from an avid AmSnag user.

Same here. Thanks Paul!
