Hedir Review : Errors while trying to view sites in Site submission and rev

ADAC

I keep getting this error when I try to view the submission for "TopwebsiteTips" Crying or Very sad

Not everyone is getting that because I've got a few notices that someone has entered a comment in that thread.

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 8388608 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 184320 bytes) in /homepages/17/d95257831/htdocs/webapps/hedir/www/sys/cache/xs_mod/tpl2 _.kunden.homepages.17.d95257831.htdocs.webapps.hedir.www.styles.basic. viewtopic_quickreply.html on line 470

Question

Is there a better place to send stuff like this Question

I'm having the same problem, ADAC.

I do not know what is causing this problem, it looks like some server problem. I will fix it asap.

Yes ADAC,

You are not alone, I also experienced the same problem but I thought may be it's a server error, so I quit. Laughing

It looks like the cache files are taking more memory than expected. Either the server will have to increase the memory avaiable or we will to free memory after operations.

Later one is the only feasible solution, I will be fixing it soon.

Thanks
Norah.

I'm also getting the same error but in my case it only seems to be for sites that do not have a poll attached to them.

I was not able to attach poll for these pages due to error. Our programmer is out of town and I am feeling helpless at this time.

If I increase the server memory limit there can be some problems. Since it is executed from the web, it would be reasonably simple for an external attacker to induce resource starvation in our system by repeatedly calling that script up with external calls.

I am waiting for my expert programmer to join back before touching the code.

Sorry for the inconvenience caused.

Norah, this doesn't look like a code problem to me. If the amount of memory it was trying to allocate was exceeding the allotted cache, then maybe I would suspect a loop, but the amount of memory it reports it's trying to allocate is well below the max cache value. It seems to me like the server is simply running low on resources. I don't think expanding the PHP cache size will fix the issue anyway.

Can you see process/memory utilization on the server? I suspect that restarting the affected services might correct the issue.

Norah

Our programmer has implemented jpcache system, so I am not very sure whether to touch his code. Please bear with me for one more day.

In php there is a function called memory_get_usage() which will allow me to check the resource usage at different levels. I am sure we will be able to solve this issue soon.

Thanks winterfrost.geo,

That seems to have fixed most of the threads, but I've just had it crop up again. The submission threads for earthslight.com and thetartanbox.com are still having this problem... though the reported cache overrun is much lower.

Looks like you have us back up again, Thanks Norah! and nameless programmer! Very Happy
