I am not sure if any mod's were aware but last night (12-3am EST)
the forums were really messed up. I couldn't log on as me but I was authorized to view private forums etc. which I didn't out of respect for your guys privacy. But I just wanted to let you know that that privacy was jeopardized... and I dont think I'm the only one to whom that happened.

Yeah,

We had some issues. :)

For some of us, books are as important as almost anything else on earth. What a miracle it is that out of these small, flat, rigid squares of paper unfolds world after world, worlds that sing to you, comfort and quiet and excite you... Books are full of the things that you don't get in real life - wonderful, lyrical language, for instance, right off the bat. - Anne Lamott, Bird by Bird

Indeed.

I remember that I "felt a great disturbance in the Web...as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced. I feared something terrible had happened."

Thanks for letting us know, Beirnadri Magranth. Indeed, the server move resulted in a loss of base variables, which simply had to be refreshed.

The last few days, I've been having issues accessing the site. Either it takes absolutely forever to load, or I get errors like:

Provider error '80004005' 

Unspecified error 

/inc_header.asp, line 134


Considering how little activity I've been seeing on the site the last couple of days, I'm afraid I'm not the only one experiencing these issues.

Ditto and then I got the to many connections error for a bit after the one that Wooly and Dargoth got.

Aye... as did I.

Doing a little work on my own, I think this is, apparently, a server fault.

There's another odd issue I just noticed... The Ask Ed thread is now 61 pages long, but on the Active Topics page, only 60 of them are showing, and a post count of 1500 is listed. The latter number should be 1501, I think.

Well met

Ahh, I love those meaningful error messages I'll take a look at this shortly and see if it points to anything that we can investigate.

I'll check the server logs in the meantime to see if there is a known issue.

I can hopefully resolve this by performing a full recount of posts etc. However, it is quite time and processor intensive so i'll schedule it when I can find a good quiet time slot.

As I expected, the line of code in question here is a straight forward database open command. Likely the SQL server wasn't available at the time for some reason.

Apologies for the inconvenience.

Someone needs to slaughter the gremlins, that's all I'm saying. :)

And hang their slaughtered remains outside of Candlekeep as a warning to all other gremlins who would consider entering the library to cause further mischief.

We have one Mischief Maker here, and he's registered. That's enough.

Aghh Im taking Active Server Pages as my favoured enemy!

Is there any chance that Candlekeeps forums can be shifted to another language? (Preferably a less buggy one).

I notice Wizards forums use PhP........

“I am the King of Rome, and above grammar”

Emperor Sigismund

PhP can be just as finicky as ASP and most of the other forum software currently available. There's no guarantee that these errors won't occur under PhP because, as I said to Alaundo a while back, I've encountered them on other message boards that make use of PhP. Even the WotC boards have had occasional problems -- which is why they now need constant forum maintenance and upgrades.

There was misbehavior again this afternoon... For about an hour, I kept getting variations on the same errors:

Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers error '80004005' 
[MySQL][ODBC 3.51 Driver][mysqld-4.1.15-standard]MySQL server has gone away 
/inc_func_common.asp, line 1138


error '80004005' 
/inc_func_common.asp, line 1138


error '80004005' 
/inc_header.asp, line 134


I was amused, though, that there was a couple 1138 errors.

Aye, it appears as though there have been a couple of server reboots for some reason. I've queried this with the host, so i'll let thee know what they say...if anything.
