Report board software problems here

I think the purge code is broken...Testing has lots of old stuff in it.

EDIT: Looking back in this thread, it seems to have been happening occasionally with the file prune.php.

Positively microscopic nitpicky complaint: The board regulary keeps showing new posts in forums I've already read, especially when I've simply read all topics instead of hitting 'mark all topics read'. This is so far inevitably fixed by going into the forum and (re)hitting 'mark all topics read', so it's not really a problem. I just thought I'd mention it.

The board wasn't working for me from about 10:30 when I first tried to get in till about 20 minutes ago. It just timed out and died.

The PayPal link is a pain in the ass with its authentication being screwed up as it would actually prevent me from loading the board.

...Maybe it is the goddamn reason I wasn't able to come here. Grrr...

The board refused the connection for me just a moment ago.

The board was handing out the ol' 404 late last night for a few minutes.

I've discovered that this is a bug in the purge code; it never purges threads with open polls. And since almost no one ever sets an expiry date on their polls, threads which contain polls never get pruned.

By the way, there was an extended power outage last night. When a power outage lasts long enough to exhaust the battery, the server does a controlled shutdown and stays off until it is manually turned back on again. I discovered the problem this morning and turned it back on, just so everyone knows what happened.

The board was down all morning my time, around from midnight EST to 7-9AM EST.

EDIT: missed your post Wong.

phpBB : Critical Error

Error clearing sessions table

Keeps happening when I try to go to a new page. Refreshing the page gets me where I want to go, but its still annoying.

Edit: For instance, just happened when I posted this.

I just got this while trying to read this thread to see why the board was down this morning.

To everyone posting now..... look at this page.... its filled with the exact same thing.

Post by **Dalton** » 2005-04-20 11:52am

I think it might be related to the auto-purge. Let's see if I can't alleviate it.

Nopers.

The sessions table had a corrupted index, probably related to the power outage last night. I ran full table checks on all of the tables in the system, and repaired the sessions table index and the user table index (that's why the board was down for about ten minutes just now). Those session errors should go away now.

PS. Turns out that it was not a controlled shutdown last night; I had the fucking serial line for the UPS hooked up to COM1, but my UPS monitoring software was configured for COM2 and I never noticed because I never bothered running the monitor to check status. Needless to say, after discovering this I reconfigured my UPS monitoring software and made sure it was working properly.
