Next time I'm taking the site down while I'm doing maintenance ;)

Anyways, everything should be fine now. Almost all of the errors reported over the past 48 hours are the direct result of me doing work on the site. I finally managed to narrow the problem down to the text link ads on the front page.

My apologies for all the errors everyone got as I know it was annoying, but everything should be working great now. If you are still getting problems, check out the first post of this thread and try those steps.

ok! Reporting this for several of us.


Time of Incident (include your timezone): for me, 6:08 PM PST;
Browser: IE (i usually use firefox, but I needed to test it, since I was already logged in and teh site was working!)
Template: default
Page You Were On: logging in
Describe What Happened: debug error! here's mine, followed by those who have told me either via the chat or IM. And I'm reporting since one, I still can post, two, you're not on, Nate!, and three, it's a debug! ahh!

phpBB : Critical Error

Error creating new session

DEBUG MODE

SQL Error : 1114 The table 'yws_sessions' is full

INSERT INTO yws_sessions (session_id, session_user_id, session_start, session_time, session_ip, session_page, session_logged_in, session_admin) VALUES ('8e28dfc56bbc87cf5e7e84ac0143e8ea', 2430, 1202522788, 1202522788, '829d260f', 0, 1, 0)

Line : 187
File : sessions.php


here's the one Reakeda sent me via the chat (firefox, EST, default, all have cleared cache -- JabberHut had the same one for chimped out, firefox 8:11 central -- note date stamp is from PST)
[Reakeda] 6:09 pm: phpBB : Critical Error

Line : 187
File : sessions.php


Anna (Suzanne) is having the same problem. She noted that she could at least access the site on an old version of IE, but not on ff. here's hers:

Time zone, 8.10pm Central, Mozilla, Cookies yes, default temp -- home page.

error:
phpBB : Critical Error

Error creating new session

DEBUG MODE

SQL Error : 1114 The table 'yws_sessions' is full

INSERT INTO yws_sessions (session_id, session_user_id, session_start, session_time, session_ip, session_page, session_logged_in, session_admin) VALUES ('9b46b13dee5dae72dce60b3a71798448', 2023, 1202523143, 1202523143, '46829fa4', 0, 1, 0)

Line : 187
File : sessions.php


She notes that clearing cookies and cache didn't help.

but what's weird is I'm online now and it's working fine (on ff), and BCS hasn't had a problem, either. Rick says he hasn't had any incidents right now, too.

UPDATE: PenguinAttack is getting the same error: chimped out, on IE, and I have no idea what her timezone is, but somewhere in AU.

Bear-kun (Bigbadbear) asked me to post this for him. He says that he's getting the same errors as everyone else, and it's not letting him log on.

The sessions table bug is fixed. Would have fixed it even earlier, but I was in Baltimore :)

The bug resulted from a change I made to the sessions database file for YWS (sessions tracking is what makes sure you don't get logged out while browsing the forum). I changed the table type to make it faster, but forgot I needed to do one more thing to make it work. If you're interested at all in the changes I made, go here:

I wasn't able to get onto the site since I wok up till about half an hour ago. I got the sessions thing. Sorry, I didn't think to copy it, but it's the same as Mesh put up.
*Don't expect to see me around much in the next couple of weeks. School has started again, and it'll be a couple of weeks before I've settled in. If you've asked me for a critique, you will get it, but not for a little while. Sorry*

Time of Incident (include your timezone): 11:05 am EST
Browser: Mozilla Firefox
Template: Default
Page You Were On: Going to Other Fiction (from a post in Other Fiction, I think...)
Describe What Happened: I clicked on the "Other Fiction" link and it came up as just titles (that were links) and a little information below them, like who wrote them and the subject description and stuff like that. But the weird thing is that they didn't have the graphics in between, it was just the text on a white page.

I just tried it again, and it worked fine, so I don't know if it's something to worry about or not. Sorry if I just reported something that's not a bug...

Azila, not a bug :)


Another sessions bug like the one Bek described above. It's resolved for the time being. Apparently I didn't make the sessions table large enough... YWS is too big!

Nate, I can't change the word of the week - the admin link takes me to My YWS. Tried at 4:25pm GMT today using Firefox.

This isn't really a huge detriment but thought I would share it anyway incase it would help you to know what's going on!

Time of Incident (include your timezone): All day today
Browser: IE
Template: Chimped Out
Page You Were On: Posts since last visit
Describe What Happened: It isn't refreshing. Like I said...I don't really care. But, it's happening. I have left for hours at a time today and everytime when I come back the new posts are just added to the ones from this morning so I'm up to 7 pages of "posts since last visit". Usually it resets itself after like half an hour or so.

Matt ->> I'll take a look.

Via ->> Are you closing your browser? I changed some things around, so if you don't close your browser, it's not going to reset.

Yes. I did mention it previously, but I too still cannot post anything new in any of the threads. When I try and post a new topic, my screen turns white, and declares it's done loading.

Pah... :shock: We Intructors cannot post in the Knowledge Base. *kicks white screen of death* Hehe...
The sadness drains through me rather than skating over my skin. It travels through every cell to reach the ground. I filter it yet strangely enough, I keep what was pure and it is the dirt that leaves.
