cotonti.com : major php crash??? https://www.cotonti.com Last topic posts Cotonti en Sat, 11 Apr 2026 17:12:35 -0000 pieter Wed, 14 Oct 2009 03:32:46 -0000 SunChase
later:
Like i thought...to make it work just open the recentpages.php and rename all of the "$sql" to "$sql1" and it will work]]> Wed, 14 Oct 2009 02:54:53 -0000 pieter I installed only recentcomment for the skin of STAM (it uses it)

For the rest a standard installation.
All works if I change the recentitems back to index.

Not only forum is gone, also pages.]]> Wed, 14 Oct 2009 02:23:46 -0000 SunChase But the forum doesnt work at all.Hm.Have you tried turning off all the non-standart plugins?
I had a something similar problem when i added an SQL Request in one plugin.If i remember correctly - the forums and the lists didnt work.

Try to turn off the extra plugins.]]> Wed, 14 Oct 2009 01:51:51 -0000 pieter
Goto: http://contest.broens.be/index.php
demo / demo

Even users-list don't work.
All skins have the problem. The 3 from the contest and sed-light.
If you or Trustmaster/Kilandor need a admin-account, let me know.]]> Wed, 14 Oct 2009 01:08:37 -0000 Draeghonov this is in the htaccess in the skins directory:

<Files *.tpl>
order deny,allow
deny from all
</Files>

That's a measure to prevent the skins from being stolen ;)
@Pieter:
No, recent itmes is used as the plugin came: index.tpl usage.

Maybe, just maybe:
The problems I had with the usergallery were because I had used the latest version, with older files, to try to make the slideshow work...
Also, the avatar reflection is irritating as hell: slow loading times.
Maybe thet's the reason why I had such an epic fail:
slimbox image resizer, usergallery and avatar reflection all used together...

I have no idea about all this.
But I do know, that since the restart all is working as smooth as silk :)]]> Wed, 14 Oct 2009 00:11:27 -0000 SunChase pieter, tell in details what is the problem.Winter started to early so i'm to cold to think :)]]> Tue, 13 Oct 2009 22:48:52 -0000 pieter
Now I got the same problem.
http://contest.broens.be/

In header you can see the pages, but in list you see nothing.
Forum, same problem.

Added 9 minutes later:

I checked it. For the skin of STAM I had to reconfigure recentitems.
recentitems.php

File=recentitems
Hooks=index.tags
Tags=index.tpl:{PLUGIN_LATESTPAGES},{PLUGIN_LATESTTOPICS}
to
File=recentitems
Hooks=header.tags
Tags=header.tpl:{PLUGIN_LATESTPAGES},{PLUGIN_LATESTTOPICS}

and reinstall plugin
After this I got the problem.

When I put it back original, problem is gone.

@Draeghonov: have you reconfigured the recentitems plugin?

Added 1 minute later:

Is this a common problem?
Is this a bug?]]> Tue, 13 Oct 2009 17:24:46 -0000 SunChase I really dont know why the skin folder has its own htaccess,but try deleting it]]> Tue, 13 Oct 2009 17:15:22 -0000 Draeghonov
This is the answer I got.
I don't even need to translate it: completely useless.....
The htaccess I had in the root was empty, and the htaccess in the skins folder is the default that comes with Contoti...
Besides, they told me to change something to what it already is...

Ah well, I have noticed an improvement in stability, so I'll leave it at that for now.
Thanks to Tefra, and his db-tools:
That "simple" plugin offers waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay more peace of mind than the technicians of my server....]]> Tue, 13 Oct 2009 04:00:24 -0000 SunChase
I think you should test the site on localhost again.But this time with the used database and the entire copy of your site(that is in the internet).If you want help with the testing - write to me by ICQ cause it will be difficult to do give you advices by forum]]> Mon, 12 Oct 2009 03:04:15 -0000 Draeghonov # SunChase : earlier you said that you had only 60 posts in the forum.How many posts did you have on one topic?
i'm asking this cause in the past i saw a similar problem when a topic had 11 posts and in the settings it was allowed only 10 per page.

Speaking on media libraries and ect.I think you should run your site on a localhost,install a clean copy of cotonti and test all of your plugins on the default skin.If you find some errors - try to turnoff each plugin one by one till you find the cause of the problems

I have set the maximum topics per page to 500; I guess I'll be safe then :)
And about mediagallery: I had it running on a testsite, but no probs there...

# Mynt :

There is no die after a certian amount of time, so it kept trying, but once the connection is killed the first time there was nothing to load because it hung on authentication again. Suggestion I think is to place a kill timer in the table lookup?

interesting, but I'm a n00b at scripting, can u show me how that is done?]]> Mon, 12 Oct 2009 01:36:52 -0000 Mynt
So far my testing showed this:

-There is no timeout feature for the board. If your host has an issue with multiple threads going to the database it may be caused by the php ini settings. I lowered my phpini settings down to 1mb to just test it, then simucasted 4000 connections on the forums. The only dump error is as follows:

FIREBUGpro REPORT: c:\HARDYheron\~USR\MARK\TEMP\CONT\HOME\
FIREBUGpro DUMP:
CONNECTION IS TIMING OUT. 
MySQL LISTENER SENT OUT THIS MESSAGE TO X-HTTP HOST: 
"CACHE INVOLVED IS IN EXCESS OF RESOURCES. CONNECTION TIMED OUT"
RESULT: PAGE LOAD TIME ERROR
TIME: 618SECONDS WAIT TIME 2ms(REFRESH)
RESULT: TIMEOUT - NON 404. CONNECTION RETRY DENIED BY MySQL CONNECTION

Mysql dropped these errors for me:
Incoming connection from "localhost" denied with permissions 
using localhost @ password:yes. Authentication OK : 
User defined tables resource overflow of 5992881 bytes,
 memmory allowed of 8279981227 bytes.

There is no die after a certian amount of time, so it kept trying, but once the connection is killed the first time there was nothing to load because it hung on authentication again.

On the index page, the recnt forumposts show all the posts.
But when you clicked them, they directed us to empty pages with only a textboxer in it...
There were a few more issues...

Also, The Usergallery caused a lot of trouble:
apparently, minichat and usergallery do NOT work together...
Same goes for media library:
Whenever new items are posted, I get logged out.
So I'm really afraid of the whole gallery issue on my site...]]> Sun, 11 Oct 2009 22:25:54 -0000 SunChase Sun, 11 Oct 2009 21:56:12 -0000 Draeghonov

I have received an email from my server: they will look into the matter on -=monday=-
I don't have that much patience...
Anyways, we have exported the users with success: the forums cause problems again, so we had to restart... Fortunately there were only 60 posts :)]]> Sun, 11 Oct 2009 21:28:39 -0000 SunChase Sounds like a bad connection to the database.Try looking at the hosters site - maybe they are doing some repairs.

but if you want to export all the users from the old db you should export such tables:
sed_users
to export the forum:
sed_forum_posts
sed_forum_sections
sed_forum_structure
sed_forum_topics
if you have special user groups:
sed_groups
sed_groups_users]]> Sun, 11 Oct 2009 18:50:21 -0000 Draeghonov THE weirdest error you'll see in ages!!!!!

Last night, after the restart of my website on Contoti, all was well.
The first sign of trouble, was when ppl tried the minichat: NO refresh, but it redirected to the minichat page after the post...
Then, someone noticed that the forums were... gone...
We have the recent items plugin, and ALL the forumposts are still showing, but when you click on the forum button, the forumsections are empty.
Weird: in the forums configuration in the admin panel, the structure is still there...
Also: When you click on one of the topics on the index in the recent forumposts section, you'll only see the textbox.
When you make a post, nothing happens...
Try to click on the "users" button: empty page, but the users arre there....

I have my test site, so I uploaded the sql file from my live site to that. Same problems, except for the minichat that does work...

Has anyone heard of such an error?
If so, can you please post a solution?
Thing is, Contoti's great, and we do NOT want to start over again...
Thanks in advance, Dave

Okay, small update:

I made a backup of the current sql, just in case.
I dropped all ols sql tables, and installed a fresh one.
Guess what?
EVERYTHING worked...

I have reset it to the "troubled state", because I don't feel like loosing the users, pfs, forums again.
The minichat also works when the sql was restored.
If I have to install a fresh sql:
What boxes should be ticked in sql manager, to save the users?

I prefer the structure to be repaired, installing a new sql goes too far, I really need advise :)]]> Sun, 11 Oct 2009 14:48:13 -0000
