some forums problems

graudeejs · #1 June 16th, 2010, 06:58

I wasn't able to submit, the fallowing reply:
http://pastebin.com/0QBBc58v

also yesterday I wasn't able to upload *.jpg attachments
Err 503 (service Not available) if I recall correctly

graudeejs · #2 June 16th, 2010, 06:58

Code:

# portmaster -r gettext

this should rebuild gettext and all ports depending on it

if you really want to update dependencies only you can find out all ports that depend on gettext

Code:

$ bpkg -r gettext

Code:

killasmurf86 $ bpkg -r bash
*** installed ***
shells/bash: bash-4.1.5_1
 
Information in ports for shells/bash:
 
B-deps: bison-2.4.1_1,1 gettext-0.18_1 libiconv-1.13.1_1 m4-1.4.14_1,1
R-deps: gettext-0.18_1 libiconv-1.13.1_1
 
Information for bash-4.1.5_1:
 
Depends on:
Required by:
gimp-2.6.8_2,2
gimp-app-2.6.8_3,1
gimp-gutenprint-5.2.4_2
gnome-mount-0.8_5
policykit-gnome-0.9.2_4
rarian-0.8.1
xsane-0.996_3
gnome-doc-utils-0.20.1
gvfs-1.6.1

and then list them for portmaster

Code:

# portmaster gimp gimp-app gimp-gutenprint gnome-mount policykit-gnome rarian xsane gnome-doc-utils gvfs

can't think of better method (ATM)

EDIT:
so I tried to post here, and it worked.....
something fishy is going on here

graudeejs · #3 June 16th, 2010, 16:54

OK, so I just used default opera settings (rm -Rf ~/.opera && opera)
and again I failed to post my message.

There is some serious and very annoying forum bug

prdeltoid · #4 June 16th, 2010, 17:02

I'd like to add that the devilgrin and devil icons aren't working. I just tried to use devilgrin and it doesn't work. Here's what they look like:
devilgrin: �e devil: �jr

graudeejs · #5 June 16th, 2010, 20:24

ohhh, this is killing me....
Just wrote quite long replay and this stupid error occurred again

**phoenix** · #6 June 16th, 2010, 21:57

If you use something other than Opera, does everything work?

Just want to narrow down where the issue is (forums, browser, something else).

We have similar problems on another Forum. This issues are sporadic (every ~2-3000 posts) sometimes you can post only a view words or the thread is complete dead and cannot be opened again (db timeouts).

I haven't had the time to find the exact issue when and why this happens, maybe someone has a good hint?

graudeejs · #8 June 17th, 2010, 09:04

Just tried to reply with ff.
I wrote quick reply, and then pressed Go Advanced..... it only showed empty page, nothing else

graudeejs · #9 June 17th, 2010, 16:53

could this problem be related to Varnish?

I ask this, because when I get 503 error I also see link to http://www.varnish-cache.org/

**DutchDaemon** · #10 June 17th, 2010, 17:06

I've had zero problems all day, but then again, I'm a moderate user.

graudeejs · #11 June 17th, 2010, 17:07

This is what I get

Code:

When I try to post/preview this (unfinished post):

EDIT:
I tried to post same message using proxy (anonymouse.org) and failed with same result

EDIT:
Shit I can't even write small reply

dennylin93 · #12 June 18th, 2010, 13:23

The error is sent out by Varnish, but there's no way to know the reason by looking at the message. It could be a backend that's not responding or something else.

graudeejs · #13 June 19th, 2010, 08:01

Imagine this:
I was able to post my big post

I tried posting it using anonymouse.org proxy and this time, It was success

could this somehow be my ISP fault?

dennylin93 · #14 June 19th, 2010, 11:30

It could be a possibility. Using HTTPS would eliminate the need of a proxy.

graudeejs · #15 June 19th, 2010, 21:28

using https:
Connection closed by remote server...

dennylin93 · #16 June 20th, 2010, 00:51

Weird. It works for me although the certificate is self-signed.

**DutchDaemon** · #17 June 20th, 2010, 01:28

I use https all day because the mod panel is https. I've had one short Varnish hiccup today, otherwise things worked as advertised.

graudeejs · #18 June 20th, 2010, 09:34

I just tired https again. same thing

Sometimes happens to me too (~2-3 at 100 posts). Is showing empty space but the text still be there. I am going to the begin of line, press delete and then the text appears again.

Here's new feature:

got this after I pressed thanks button

kenorb · #22 November 17th, 2010, 11:27

To let you know that this problem still exists on that forum.
I'd 'Guru Meditation' error today as well.

richardpl · #23 November 17th, 2010, 13:11

Run traceroute, it may show interesting things.

nestux · #24 November 18th, 2010, 05:16

And now the forum it's working extremely slow for me...or it just me? :/

kenorb · #25 November 18th, 2010, 10:19

Yes, it's extremely very slow.
74 requests within 34 seconds on that page.
If it's on FreeBSD, maybe admins should optimize it? Configure the varnish, looks like it doesn't cache even images.
Just turn on the JS/CSS merging/gziping and remove the broken links

4 seconds when processing only the main html it-self.
