I'm getting a lot of this:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function message_die() in /home/hostmars/public_html/db/db.php on line 88

Anyone else?

Yes I get it sometimes, I thought it was the server at work, because we have alot of issues with the server not connecting sometimes... But I guess maybe it isnt our server.

Browsing the error...

It's most likely due to a failed PHP call to MySQL

line 88 errors are ALWAYS problems connecting to your mysql database

Some common things to check:

1. is the username/password in config.php correct?
2. is the mysql database name in config.php correct?
3. is dbhost set to "localhost" or "127.0.0.1" ?
4. are the $prefix and $user_prefix variables in config.php set to "nuke"?
5. is the $dbtype variable set to MySQL ?
6. is mysql running?

Yes, I get them too. From what an IT freind told me, It might have to do with the amount of people trying to access that particular site at that particular time. I used to get that with other work related stuff also.

who knows. I hit refresh and everything is coolio..

How about those nano tanks. Can we take that off. It's making me want one bad. No bueno for me with lack of room.

ugggghhhh....this hobby!

Steve,

All good things but this is not repeatable so I doubt it is a configuration issue.

I lean more towards a network/traffic issue.

Maybe the TSA/FCC is doing those mini-blackouts in preparation for the national EBS test (which is stuipid but that's a topic for the lounge...)

I don't think its a configuration issue. I just cut/pasted the whole blurb. I think its a PHP call to mySQL that is not returning before timeout. Related to traffic or server utilization. #6 is mysql running? yes, but not returning request in time...

I get them here all the time. It's definitely something with MARSH. I don't get them on my other site.

Welcome to 2007...and 08...and 09...and 10...and now 11. :lol:

This is just something that comes up every now and then. I've always attributed it to server is too busy or is in a bad mood. Usually doesn't last very long.

It is a call error to MYSQL and its going to come up until I finish the cut-over. I made some changes to the database so that when I do the migration there are less issues.

I'm looking at doing a test migration this weekend. I will post details tonight if everything is going to be a go for the test.

If you care to know more please read on:

2 things happened. The site was hacked about 4 weeks ago and I fixed that but there are still some traces I keep finding. Prior to that I did a cleanup of the user Database to thin out some of the legacy accounts that had not been used for 2 years or more; this is what is causing most of the errors.

If you open a thread that has a message in it for a retired user it fails to tie that post to an ID and fails. I put in a fix to replace those entries with a User Moved On statement but due to the older MYSQL version we are on it doesn't work every-time. I have it set to email me when these errors occur and I've just been trying to fix them when they come up.

I'm not going to worry with it too much since it is just an annoyance and the site still works; I want to focus on finishing the new site so we can get moving with new features.

Hope this helped.

Regards,

No worries, John.

Just curious, was all. As a web admin myself, I understand how much effort it takes at times to keep a community running. And the pay is great, too, eh?

:)

wait I can get paid for this?!?

Definitely takes a touch of passion, a bit of crazy, and a lot of forgiveness from the wife.
