site problems again

[lostforawhile]

hey i think we went off topic before on this,which is why the old thread was closed, i started this thread just to report wierd problems, i'm hoping they can be used to identify problems when they start happening,then they can get fixed right away. lets keep this on topic and keep it simple, if the board is doing something strange, report it plain and simple, then the mods can look at whats going on and maby figure out what the problem is. thanks.

"Database Error" anytime I search.

[lostforawhile]

yea new posts and todays posts bring up a data base error, you can still pull up subscribed threads

[87accordlxi]

Fixed

[Cheeseburger]

i still get that when i go to the off topic section

[2ndGenGuy]

Most of the posts in the 2geez section are doing the same thing.

I ran a test post that worked. But see below.

I ran a database repair. It may have fixed some of the posting issues.

:P it let me post it that size so i thought maybe y'all got rid of the sig limit lol sorry :p

[turabaka]

database error when I try to click the new posts button is back

[Demon1024]

database error when I try to click the new posts button is back
2x 99% of the time it's the only one i hit is there a way around this another link to new posts?

[LX-incredible]

database error when I try to click the new posts button is back

Same Here.

[labeledsk8r]

yeah im getting it aswell with new post's link.... sigh...

[A18A]

teh whole search feature is broken

[87accordlxi]

Fixed again. Anytime the search goes down, you can still use the Google search on the main page. It probably does a better job anyway.

[race12001]

im getin a data base error when i log in half the time and if i click got to first unread post button

I tried to post in Lost's tool thread, and got a database error.

same here, twice yesterday I worked on a post just to lose it all with the error page
ok, whatever "this is" seems to be happening more than just a couple of times a week and "management" gives off the impression it is all just a PITA to deal with anything, so I guess with the site it's just as unreliable as an early model Hyundai it's time to move on.

[A18A]

:O you have more posts than me! (just noticed) i think it would be a good idea to stick a link to a backup forum on that database error page or something

[carotman]

Yup

However, the search function is used for the "New Posts" feature.

[MessyHonda]

the new post button didnt work for me the other night...its ok....i forgot how to do it manual...bought me back to the good old days.

[84Accord]

"Fatal error: Using $this when not in object context in /home/geez/public_html/forum/includes/class_upload.php on line 398"

[2oodoor]

same thing here
also this morning I was on for about two minutes then I typed a nice long post to help someone and it went to never never land. I could not even log back on at all for thirty minutes.. after which I just quit gave up.

[lostforawhile]

ok it just came back up, now it was supposed to be a file problem,but i've had small orange status in one window and 3 geez in the other and sarah kept blinking on and off line all day,when it went down,you couldn't connect,so it's more then one problem. yea i have no life,

[lostforawhile]

so basically when it says can't find server sarah farted again

[bullard123]

So are all the issues with the site worked out yet? Mods, admins?

[marc49]

I believe there was a mix up. When I contacted support about our problem he said that our site was flagged for suspension but he didn't have any notes on it so he looked into it and restored it. Couple that with the fact that only the board folder was deleted, and I believe another website on our server had a bad script or something that was taxing the server and was marked for deletion. someone just screwed up on the wrong site

Cool. So the issues are pretty much someone else's mistakes

[TWOLOUDNPROUD]

Now what going on with the site it's up then it down.This is starting to suck really BAD.

[lostforawhile]

something must have happened with the database error that caused the database error to malfunction causing the piston to fly up and hit the database error which caused the database error belt to break. causing a chain reaction database error or someone dropped a donut into the server

[marc49]

there seems to be a sporadic problem with our database. I'm not sure what's causing the issue. It could be hacks, it could be something else. Once I ran a database repair tool on the server, the site came back up. The database error's don't seem to be related to anything with the server. It's a code issue that we need to get resolved.

i still say someone dropped a donut in the server :D maby a virtual one?

[ChaseR]

I run my own Apache server in my room, decicated with a 7mb down 3mb up connection, I will host this site on it free if needbe, or at least as a redundant clone..

i think that would be a great idea :thumbup:

[lostforawhile]

what is the deal with their server? it was off line again. anytime you see the message the server is taking too long,thats their issue.

[Vanilla Sky]

Have we grown to the point where we are overtaxing their server? Maybe a dedicated server is needed at this point.

this site isn't THAT big, there is no reason a professional hosting company can't handle a site this size.

[Vanilla Sky]

If we share the server (we are on a shared server, though I thought we were supposed to be on a dedicated server), then we could simply be bogging it down and causing issues like this. These probably aren't top-of-the-line, brand new servers.

I think for any more discussion about this, we should be using the foundation forum, instead of this one. We've gone down the same path with other comments, and we seem to keep going down that path.

[lostforawhile]

ok lets move this thread to foundation

[Demon1024]

view new posts = database error
Search for new post whatever i got the point across

[MessyHonda]

view new posts = database error



:werd:

[AccordB20A]

tyou mean search = database error. i would love to be a n00b right now :)

[2oodoor]
