I got an EZProxy Hostname error. What do I do?
You will get an EZProxy Hostname Error page when you attempt to access content on a computer host that has not yet been set up for use by our proxy server. The proxy server administrator must specify all the domains (i.e., silverplatter.com) and computer hostnames (i.e., spweb.silverplatter.com) for which the proxy server should be used. In this case, all the online library resources. Database vendors often change domain names, or pull content from new computer hosts without ever informing libraries. Thus, when a hostname error occurs, EZProxy’s configuration must be updated to include the new host for proxying. To expedite correction of this error, please note: * the name of the resource you were trying to access * the computer hostname line listed on the error page * and report it to the library systems office, email either Wally Grotophorst or Lara Bushallow. This problem will be corrected as soon as your notice is received.

Within this database’s section of the file, the following line must be added: Host muse.uq.edu.au Database vendors often change domain names, or pull content from new computer hosts without ever informing libraries.
