The PCKF/KM/Keenwiki Technical Problems Thread

[Roobar]

Oh I missed that. Thanks again.

I'm getting this error just now:

Code: Select all

General Error
SQL ERROR [ mysqli ]

User rigeordz_phpbb3 already has more than 'max_user_connections' active connections [1203]

An sql error occurred while fetching this page. Please contact an administrator if this problem persists.

Also, pages have been loading very slowly.

Every now and again the PCKF is rather slow, but I haven't gotten a crash error for about a month. The last error I had was the PCKF wasn't even loading, I just got a Chrome crash error. Thankfully, that hasn't happened in around a month or so.

Also, sometimes images don't display, while other times images that weren't displaying earlier display, and images that did display earlier don't anymore. Does anyone know what that is about?

Nothing to do with the PCKF or K:M, but KeenWiki won't load for me. In fact, the WHOLE shikadi.net server is down, EXCEPT for K1n9_Duk3's website. Does anyone know what's going on here? And why k1n9duk3.shikadi.net works but none of the other shikadi.net websites work?

[Benvolio]

Keenwiki currently loading ok for me!

[SodiumtheGlitcher]

Chrome is saying, "keenwiki.shikadi.net took too long to respond" "ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT", and is saying the same error for all other shikadi.net webisites except, like I said earlier, k1n9duk3.shikadi.net. Is the problem on my end, or are other people having this problem too?

[Nospike]

It works for me, even clicking around different articles. Seems like the problem might be on your end.

[SodiumtheGlitcher]

It works now, so all good.

The PCKF is being VERY slow currently, occasionally giving general errors, and KeenWiki immediately gives a "502 Bad Gateway" error. Anyone else having problems at the time this was posted?

[Benvolio]

Yeah it was not usable yesterday... seems fine now!!

[SodiumtheGlitcher]

The PCKF works fine now, but KeenWiki still gives a "502 Bad Gateway" error. Hopefully the problem is fixed soon.

The automated scrapers are getting more sophisticated. Today I had to block an entire CIDR /9 and the user agent for a particular old version of Chrome to stop an onslaught coming from all over the IP space. If anyone real is caught in the user agent block, then (1) sorry and (2) please update your browser before you get hacked. I should look into Cloudflare protection for the forums.

Unfortunately I have no influence over KeenWiki, sorry.

Thank you very much for maintaining the forums and taking care of all the technical inconveniences over the years. Your hosting service is very much appreciated!

KeenWiki is up and working again, so the problems are all gone! (For now...)

Doesn't work on my side.
