site bug
Wednesday, February 8, 2017 - 09:55
I keep getting this error. I have to reload the page about 5 times to get a good link to the page I clicked on.
Error
The website encountered an unexpected error. Please try again later.
Error message
PDOException: SQLSTATE[08004] [1040] Too many connections in lock_may_be_available() (line 167 of /var/www/sites/opengameart/includes/lock.inc).
OGA was having issues for about a day but is back up now. Maybe it's working from now on. Give it another test.
I asked Botanic about it and he fixed it. Apparently someone was scraping the site which conflicted with some settings.
Is that something I could handle in the future?
Also, "scraping"?
--Medicine StormIe, downloading the entirety of the site systematically.
Botanic is the one to ask about that--I caught him in the IRC.
Gotcha. Have not seen Botanic in IRC yet, but I'll bug him as soon as I do. :)
The fix is working great, but there has been some error popups in the tag field since then. Not sure it's related, but it seems to have started right after SQLSTATE errors stopped.
Any time someone is entering tags into the tag field, the autocomplete ajax function kinda freaks out. It doesn't actually prevent tags from being entered, so it's mostly just (really) annoying.
--Medicine StormNot sure if this is related, but posting comments is incredibly spotty for me; I've tried like 5 times to comment on this thread http://opengameart.org/forumtopic/is-there-any-desire-for-a-new-lpc-terr... and I keep getting a blank white screen (an no comment) each time I press "Save." Same problem in Chrome and Safari.
hmm... That usually only happens when clicking the preview button. Is the content you're trying to post being pasted from the clipboard?
--Medicine StormBotanic to the rescue! (again)
If anyone sees that AJAX error return, please drop a comment on this thread.
@bluecarrot16: still not sure what that white page bug is. Let me know when you have a moment to help me debug it. :)
