Dreamcast.online Configure not working

Post by Doormaster »

Hello, I'm new here, so I'm sorry for being ignorant.

I just got a DreamPi set up and am loving it. The only thing I'm confused about is this: on the page Dreamcast.online/now/configure, I get an error saying that the page isn't redirecting properly. My internet connection is perfectly fine otherwise (I'm on Ethernet and so is the Pi) and turning my Dreamcast on before loading the webpage doesn't seem to make a difference. There are no cookies saved on my browser for the site so that probably isn't the issue. I tried deleting all cookies on Chrome and that didn't do anything either (Firefox is my regular browser). The only thing that I can think of is that the page itself is having a problem and not me, but of course I've no way of knowing that.

Any help would be wonderful, and I again apologize for bothering you people.

Yeah, there's an issue with the site. Kazade is still trying to figure out what it is. We have found that it will work in certain browsers, sometimes. lol For me on my main PC, it worked in Chrome and Opera but not Edge or Firefox. But on my other computer, it doesn't work on anything. It's very strange.

Just tagging my name onto this, having the same issue in Firefox, Edge, Chrome, and Opera. Currently stuck as Unnamed_d05018.

Kazade figured out the issue! There was a setting on the server that prevented people from connecting to the site via a non-secure (standard HTTP) connection which is what that page uses. The setting has been disabled now but you may still need to clear a specific settings cache in your browser. It will clear itself after 30 days but for those that want to do it sooner, here's what you do:

In any Chromium-based browser (Chrome, Edge, Opera, etc...), type this URL in the address bar:

chrome://net-internals/#hsts

Under "Delete domain security policies", type in dreamcast.online and press the Delete button. Restart your browser and the config page should now load.

I'm sure there's a way to do this in other browsers but I'm not sure the steps. Possibly clearing all cookies may work.

I should also note that if your Pi isn't detected, you still need to perform the steps mentioned here. This is a seperate browser-related issue.
