Looks like the site's gonna be wonky from time to time today, while Fred gets out the #7 software wrench with the php attachment. Feel free to post any problems you've encountered in this thread and then pop over to the O-club and buy me a drink!

#42  Go to bed Fred and relax. Concentrate 5 mn on your problem. Forget about it. Sleep. Tomorow morning you'll have the perfect solution.

#40  I couldn't repeat the error just now---you're probably right.
Image the system state while you have time! :)

#39  I think (hope) that was when I was running a processor-gobbling query to weed out the dupes.

I think I'll leave the database alone for awhile. Maybe forever.

#38  This happens when having one link/article open for commenting (comment window), and opening another link in a new window at the same time.

Active Server Pages error 'ASP 0113'
Script timed out
/Default.asp
The maximum amount of time for a script to execute was exceeded. You can change this limit by specifying a new value for the property Server.ScriptTimeout or by changing the value in the IIS administration tools.


this happens when trying to submit the original comment, after receiving the above notice.

CGI Timeout
The specified CGI application exceeded the allowed time for processing. The server has deleted the process.


OS WinXP Pro, browser IE6.something.

#37  All of them are. I was restoring some corrupt records and somehow duplicated the entire table...
Posted by: Fred   2005-05-03 21:34  

#36  some pg 1 posts are duplicated

#35  Blogroll's back...
Posted by: Fred as himself   2005-05-03 20:17  

#34  Hey Phil B... what time zone are you in?

BTW, the 'blogroll in the little window on the right now appears to have duplicated entries.

#33  I'd prefer a 10pm cut off.

#32  Can I complain about the French in here?

#31  PHP ate the blogroll, Fred.

#29  Testing, one, two, three testing... Is this mike on? [taptaptap] Yep, guess it is...

#28  Hi, Fred. Thanks for all the work you do (most of which I don't understand).

The last couple of days I've noticed that my e-mail address doesn't show up when I click to make a comment, though my name does (the cookie is still there, in other words).

Of course, for this comment, the e-mail address showed up. :-( But it didn't for the last one.
Posted by: Barbara Skolaut   2005-05-03 15:51  

#27  Okay. Found it, killed it... I hope.
Posted by: Fred   2005-05-03 14:17  

#26  I am also running into the same error when going to a thread from the ''Latest Commented Articles:'' links and then posting a comment. Going to a thread from the Page 1,2,3 views and then posting seems to work.

#25  This thread had the error. Started from home page http://rantburg.com, then went to this thread and comment. Got error. Also got errors on other threads.

This coeemt is being posted starting from Page 1 view.

#24  Looks like you've managed to try to comment to an article without an ID... Do you recall which page you were on when it happened?
Posted by: Fred   2005-05-03 13:41  

#23  Tried to post a comment with name ''ed''. Preview was fine. Upon Submit got:
Error in query: SELECT * FROM TBLTWAR WHERE ID =. You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '' at line 1

#22  Thanks for the fix Fred! Slick as a camel's ...
Posted by: Spot   2005-05-03 11:46  

#21  That was weird. I submitted 2 news links. The first I did not show up and I hope is in the holding tank. The second posted immediately (Page 2 Title: Locals Offer Insight Into Egypt Terrorist (He was such a nice boy, a little attached to mommy)).
Posted by: ed   2005-05-03 11:37  

#20  9EST is fine with me, just wanted to be sure...
Posted by: Frank G   2005-05-03 11:32  

#19  No. The second was an article link. In a few minutes I will try again.
Posted by: ed   2005-05-03 11:30  

#18  I saw one a few minutes ago and published it. Did the other one make it, too?
Posted by: Fred   2005-05-03 11:25  

#17  Fred,
I submitted 2 articles about 1.5 hours ago. Did they make it to the holding tank? Thanks.
Posted by: ed   2005-05-03 11:17  

#16  Yeah. Or do you think 10 pm would be better?
Posted by: Fred   2005-05-03 11:15  

#15  9PM EST?
Posted by: Frank G   2005-05-03 10:52  

#14  I'm thinking of having it hold all stories posted after 9 p.m. so they can be included in the next day's posts.
Posted by: Fred   2005-05-03 10:50  

#13  hold would've helped last night - I posted a Islam-Polio story late that I should've held til today....Save me from myself, Fred :-)
Posted by: Frank G   2005-05-03 10:27  

#12  Should be fixed now. Let me know if it breaks something else.
Posted by: Fred   2005-05-03 10:03  

#11  Thanks. I don't want to see Rantburg get Borised.
Posted by: ed   2005-05-03 09:54  

#10  Hmmm... Minor change I made. But I can see the potential consequences. I'll fix it. But I hadn't updated the approved posters list for awhile...
Posted by: Fred   2005-05-03 09:48  

#9  Fred,
Posted articles are showing up immediately. Did you do away with the holding tank?
Posted by: ed   2005-05-03 09:44  

#8  And I think that kills it...
Posted by: Fred   2005-05-03 09:01  

#7  That isolates the date bug I've been trying to track down...
Posted by: Fred   2005-05-03 08:53  

#6  Fred - I get the message ''comments have been closed for this article'' and no submit button in the comments section on the regular pages.
Posted by: Spot   2005-05-03 08:20  

#5  But has the ''quotes'' problem remained fixed?
Posted by: Fred as himself   2005-05-03 07:12  

#4  I think the link problem is fixed. Still got the problem with some, not all, comments not having dates.
Posted by: Fred as himself   2005-05-03 07:11  

#3  Nope. Okay the URL is:
http://www.degaillo.com/images/RBCD.jpg

I'll diable hot-linking blocks for a few days.
