Please report Forum-bugs/errors here (PHPBB)

#1 Post by rkawakami » Fri Feb 20, 2015 2:38 pm

The forum software has been upgraded to phpBB version 3.1.3. Currently it should be at a stable point for layout changes; you may notice that the banner area links have changed to return the Drivers and HMM links, to add a new link for looking up MTM information and the removal of the Notifications counter. There has also been some server tune-ups performed. Hopefully this will speed up server response and reduce, if not eliminate, the recent spate of General Errors.

When reporting errors, please provide as much information as possible: what page were you accessing, the time of day, the wording of the error message, how long the error or service interruption lasted (if possible). Thanks!

edit: 10/31/15 Changed to 3.1.6 due to forum crash and restoration from backup.

Occasionally the forum takes rather long to go from one page to another (can happen from/to ANY page).
Quite often this happens just after 7am EST, when (I guess) the daily backup starts.
This morning it happened just after 8am EST.

The icon in the browser-tab spins around for up to 2 minutes and then shows a very short forum-page with this error message:
No route found for "GET /viewforum.php"

Today, when performing a forum search, I received this (lengthy) error message:
General Error

From some experiments I just did, it appears that search does not like 4 or more terms being specified, if they all resolve to a valid word/term that has been cataloged. My example was "power switch keyboard connector". If I removed one of the words, it worked. If I misspelled one word, search would either return results based on the three remaining words OR report no matches. For now, I would recommend keeping your search string to three words until we figure out what's wrong. Alternately, you can use a Google search like this:

word1 word2 word3 word4.... site:forum.thinkpads.com

The search problem described above has been fixed. You can currently enter up to 9 words/terms in your search request but it's suggested to keep this to a minimum as it does put an extra load on the server when more keywords are submitted.

Not sure if this is related to the software update or not, but I got this around 7:25 this morning:

The server is temporarily unable to service your request due to maintenance downtime or capacity problems. Please try again later.

Additionally, a 500 Internal Server Error error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

I believe that the system backup routine is scheduled to run about that time (~7AM ET); it shouldn't have anything directly to do with the new forum software. The "max_user_connections" error is the same one that's been a problem recently. There's been a few things done to alleviate the issue but it doesn't seem to be totally gone. Usually you can get to whatever page you were trying to access after a minute or two. I think it's related to the number of "guest" accounts that is browsing the forum at that time.

Problem noted (I've seen it too in the last couple of days). Using CTRL- to make text smaller can be a temporary workaround but I know it's not a permanent solution. Not sure if there is something that I can change in the phpBB Admin panel; most likely it's a CSS style that's gone AWOL.

Every day around 7am (EST) a forum-backup is made, during which the forum is inaccessible.
Takes about an hour, after which it slowly comes back to normal.

i did not know it was taking an hour..
it should be faster..
for some reason there are two backups a day..
not sure why..
also, periodically i will d/l the whole database to local storage..

give me some time to accumulate a little cash in the paypal account and i'll ask joe to look into that and also update to the most recent rev and fix the error i introduced..

As of earlier today (Saturday 10/31), the forum has been brought back online. The outage was apparently started due to an out-of-memory condition on the server. During the initial recovery it was noticed that, in particular, one member's posts were totally missing. It was unknown at that time if any other member's posts had also been lost. It was decided that the best course of action would be to restore from the last backup. That backup was taken early Monday (10/26) morning. In doing so, all of the post which were made after the backup and before the system was brought down for restoration, would be lost - about 20 or so posts from my memory. During the restore process the forum software (phpBB) was damaged so that necessitated downloading the latest version. Bill and RealBlackStuff worked hard over the last few days to get the forum back.

Everything seems to be working again. If you notice something that is not working right, please post to this thread. Thanks for your patience.

My post got deleted. Or something. I posted a message at forum http://forum.thinkpads.com/viewforum.php?f=45 last week I think. I got an email saying I had a reply on Oct 26. I saw the reply then and replied it again. After that the forum got inaccessible.

The link to the post in the email is http://forum.thinkpads.com/viewtopic.php?f=45&t=119413 titled "T420 ethernet and USB issues with dock" however that link leads to another post made by entirely different person now. Maybe I just need to post it again...

As I already mentioned in my previous message, there were probably 20 or so posts that have been permanently lost. The board software assigns a unique post number (p=12345 in a URL) to a new post, as well as one for new threads (t=34567 in a URL). Because a backup database was reloaded, those counters were reset which allowed for some duplication of post and thread numbers. You received the notification email before the system broke. After it came back online and users started posting again, those post and thread numbers got reused. That explains why the URL you received in the forum notification email is pointing to the "wrong" thread.

About the only way any of those posts can be recovered is if Google has cached the page and has not already overwritten it; probably a small chance.

I got an unusual error a few mins ago. I was trying to post a new reply to my own topic and got this error. I used the "browse back" button and tried to resubmit the same post and got the same error, but when I refreshed the page expecting to find either no reply, or duplicate replies but found only one.... odd that one of the errors sucessfully posted the reply but the other did not.

Using Google Chrome browser.

Well besides it not liking my computer or Edge maybe...

I can't get my password reset email, I have tried getting it sent probably 6 times, and it never shows up. :(

My trusty old T61(bought from new, upgraded far beyond it's original specs) is starting to show it's age, so I picked up a T420s, I figured I could talk about my T61 issues and about making my T420s into machine that I can tote around instead.

Did my old account get deactivated or is there a glitch in the password reset? I noticed signing in with Version 2 of my account, it took me 3 tries before the board accepted my password.

I am running Win 10 Pro x64 with the latest updates, both Edge and IE said I was getting sent a new password, but nothing ever showed up. :(

Another aggravating thing is the FAQ says to contact the admin to check into account problems if you can't login, but I couldn't find a way to contact an admin that wouldn't give me a log in prompt, which isn't very useful, and I'm sure after the first password reset, the system changed my password, so I made a new account.

There has been a lot of stuff going on in my life, school, medical, legal, etc etc... It's meant a curbing of many things, and this was one of them unfortunately. :(

@SaskFellow & 2: Give me a couple of minutes to iron this out... work is interfering with pleasure :)

Okay... I've sent emails to you at ga****@hotmail.com and zm****@gmail.com and a PM with instructions.

I used the "browse back" button and tried to resubmit the same post and got the same error, but when I refreshed the page expecting to find either no reply, or duplicate replies but found only one.... odd that one of the errors sucessfully posted the reply but the other did not.

Using Google Chrome browser.
No route found for "GET /posting.php"
this error seems to crop up when the forum is backing up..
usually in the "wee" hours of the morning.. 2 am more or less eastern USA time..
sorry..

if you email me (i don't want to publish my forum admin email in the open) i'll sort whatever it is out and get you a new password..
but this has usually been working in the past..

note: hotmail and M$ seem to have banned thinkpads.com from their email services as a spam source..
getting unbanned takes more time than i have to sort it out..

so sask fellow, just let me know.. maybe a PM from your new forum account..?
