Verification not working for site owner - Norton Safe Web

MagicToolbox — Mon, 23 Aug 2010 17:57:17 GMT

We already have a 100% rating here:

But we would like to register the site to our account, so we started site verification here:

http://safeweb.norton.com/site_dispute

We have uploaded the verification file to the root of our website:

http://www.magictoolbox.com/nortonsw_722a3200-910a-0.html

We then click "verify my site ownership" and see this message:

"Before we verify your ownership, you need to get auth file and put it in the root folder of your website. Click "ok" when you've completed this step."

We click OK and we get this error:

"Web site ownership verification failed. Copy the auth file to the root directory of your Web site or copy the meta_tag into your Web site`s home page."

Why is verification failing?

Thanks,

Magic Toolbox

Hello MagicToolbox and welcome!

I am glad to see your site has already been rated Safe.

Now for the ownership verification. Your HTML file appears to be properly formatted.

I will notify the Safe Web team of your issue. Please allow them a day or two to respond back to you in this thread.

In the mean time, could you double check that the URL you submitted to Safe Web exactly matches your website address, letter for letter?
