University of Melbourne - Invalid URL

Please note that you have attempted to access a invalid url and have ended up at the default site on the University of Melbourne web cluster.

Please check the url you initially entered carefully and make sure it was correct and complete.

You may have reached this page for a number of reasons, a few possibilities are listed below:

• You have attempted to directly access one of the University of Melbourne web cluster servers via a url like:

  • http://budgie.its.unimelb.edu.au/
  • http://parrot.its.unimelb.edu.au/
  • http://galah.its.unimelb.edu.au/

  These direct server urls do not host any web sites, you should be accessing a "Virtual Host" URL instead.

• You have entered only the start of a URL - for instance:

  • http://www/
  • http://www.conferences/

  In this case your workstation is silently appending a ".unimelb.edu.au" to the end of the url

  There is a good chance you will reach your intended page by adding a ".unimelb.edu.au" to the end of the URL that you originally entered.

  For instance, for the given examples you would try:

  • http://www.unimelb.edu.au/
  • http://www.conferences.unimelb.edu.au/

• You have entered only the end of a URL - for instance:

  • http://lakemungo.info/
  • http://unimelb.edu.au/

  In this case you may be trying to access a site which is not configured to respond to a non www-prefixed hostname.

  There is a good chance you will reach your intended page by adding a "www." to the start of the URL that you originally entered.

  For instance, for the given examples you would try:

  • http://www.lakemungo.info/
  • http://www.unimelb.edu.au/

If you cannot resolve this issue please contact the CWIS group at cwis@unimelb.edu.au
