Thanks, Ed. I was frustrated by having a nagging thought and not being able to check one way or the other.

Do you have problems, concerns or recommendations about the technical side of the Phoenix? Air them here. Compliments also welcome.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I definitely didn't change the code until after DX saw the errors.
As for spidering -- I'm downloading the logs right now. We'll see. Last time it definitely wasn't excessive usage.

I just got an error, and it wasn't even associated with posting, just clicking on a thread to read it.

And another one:
October 16, 2003, 9:09 am Consuela[45]: ERROR [2] mysql_connect(): User bufforg_phoenix has already more than 'max_user_connections' active connections line 78 of file /home/bufforg/public_html/classes/giles.php
There has been an error. It's of the type we call fatal. Please don't be scared. You're not the one that's going to die.
Okay, where the $$&#&(@#& are the developers?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
If I understand correctly, it happens any time the site tries to make a connection to the database. Which means that sometimes it's when you try to pull posts to read, sometimes when you try to post, and sometimes when the site is trying to load thread information.

As long as we're not hurting anything (i.e. frelling up the indexes to the tables) by getting these errors, it's safe to continue using the board?

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
I'm wondering the same thing as Theodosia...
Getting errors, reloading once or twice helps. But it also triples the hits.
Stompies?

Cass, I don't think it's much of a muchness.
Here's some bafflment so far.
This graph shows the request pattern in the morning when DX and Fred Pete got their errors (8:17, board time). The next error doesn't pop up until 11:47 (Heather).
As you can see -- not an extreme amount of traffic. I'll go peek into exactly what sort of traffic it was then.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Huh.

Huh. 168 requests at 9:58 and no errors...
Thanks ita.
eta: odd. errors almost everytime but refreshing brings the page right up.
And x-post with DX.
