Problem Reports

We're here! On our own, brand-new server. It's soo exciting!

There's bound to be problems.

If you encounter any errors or glitches, report them here. To help out the techies:

1. Copy and paste any error message you receive here.
2. State the last thing you clicked on pre-error.
3. Describe what you were doing in as much detail as possible when the error occurred. (We promise you won't get in trouble.)

You might notice occasional oddnesses in board performance. If so, please report them here!

We're set up on Dawnette--alhtough I think the VCR clock still isn't reset.

Welcome home.

I seem to be locked in a time warp of a 5 hour difference.

MacAllister · Nov 26, 2006

Rllg, yes. Charlie is looking into why the clock is stuck. That's precisely the kind of thing it's helpful for us to know, though--thanks!

veinglory · Nov 26, 2006

Yay! The bugs under my skin were really getting annoying.

Forbidden Snowflake · Nov 26, 2006

Nothing looking wrong yet

You mean the new throne hasn't gotten there yet?

Charlie, you're a god among us.

The system won't let me change my customer avatar. I go into the UserCP, select Edit Avatar, use the browse function to select the saved file (one I've used since the beginning of June), click save changes and get this message:

Unable to save avatar

Again, it's the chi avatar I've been using since the Dark Days, so the sizes should be fine.

Betcha a dollar it's paths Birol

Ol' Fashioned Girl · Nov 26, 2006

I can't change mine, either. Here's the message it gave me:

Warning: is_writable() [function.is-writable]: open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/home/pdwvzafp/public_html/forums/customavatars) is not within the allowed path(s): (/usr/local/apache/htdocs/absolute:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php:/tmp) in /includes/class_dm_userpic.php on line 235

Birol · Nov 26, 2006

Yep. Paths. Give Medievalist a dollar.

Deleted member 42 · Nov 26, 2006

Someone owes me a dollar; I've passed the error up the chain Ol' Fashioned Girl. Thanks much for letting us know.

Ol' Fashioned Girl · Nov 26, 2006

No prob. I'll drop the dollar in the pot!

I keep having connectivity problems, where I'll be posting, refreshing or trying to open another forum, and the system tells me that it's basically not there. I am a bad problem poster, though, because I didn't copy down the error message. (This could easily be my local DSL connectivity issue, though I seem to be fine elsewhere, not the site, but I mention it just in case.)

Great job, all the way around. The minor glitches have been just that, minor, and you're all to be congratulated! Thanks for taking such good care of us!

Almost nothing is there when I try to access it. I keep getting error message 500. For example, I couldn't access page 2 of the Science Fiction Forum, the search function didn't work for me, I had to quote the previous poster here because the reply button didn't work. All with Error Message 500, basically saying the web site's not there. Hopefully, this message will work.

In regards to those of you who are clicking through to dead links: can you copy & paste the specific URL that's giving the error message?

JeanneTGC · Nov 27, 2006

Got a new one for you -- I can't link/open up a window from the site any more. As in, if someone puts a url for an agent's site up on Bewares, I can't click on it. I get a box that says that I may have pop-ups blocked, but when I go to allow popups, it changes nothing and I also don't get a website name to add to my "allows" file. I can open/link from any other Explorer or Opera window (I use both), so I think it may be a site issue.

Not having the slow connection issues any more, but if I do I will remember to get the url for which page I was on.

ChunkyC · Nov 27, 2006

A heads up:

A lightbulb just went off over my head ... when we moved before, a number of you had trouble accessing the forums until you put the Absolute Write IP address into a file on your computer known as the 'hosts' file.

You will need to either remove that entry, or update it to use the new IP address. I'll be back when I can dig up the old instructions, I want to make sure I have it all right. But I wanted to give you the heads up right away.
