A user has sent me the below error. I haven't been able to duplicate it yet. But the board is really slow. Check it out here. Note we just updated from 5.47e and launched around 2:15 EDT today...

This should not occur with 6.1.0.1 unless the .threads file really did write out to zero size..

The slowness you're noticing is somewhat normal for the upgrade, for the time being, at least. I would advise asking your host to install PHP so you can take advantage of the UBB Accelerator...

Your board is pretty big - you might also want to consider moving to UBBThreads.

I just got a similiar email message from a user. I'm running 6.1.0.2 for about 6 days after upgrading from 5.47a. Do I need to do anything?

We have the disc space...but it stopped happening as soon as I clicked on the forum home link...

See the "only !"?

There should be a number there, such as "only 0!"

When there's no number, that means that the UBB was unable to find the file it just wrote out.

That is a bad thing.



This error should never, ever, EVER occur...

and it's happened twice now that I know of since we moved to 6.1.0.2 so what to do?

Just because it should never occur doesn't mean it actually doesn't.

I'm not sure what can be done about this. The error checking needs to stay - a UBB without zero size file checking is dangerous....

Only happens on Forum1. I pruned out 10,000 threads on Friday. What else can we do? I did re-index it on Friday. Should I re-index again? Is there a way to re-index on a forum by forum basis?

That's related to the other topic (the callback error)...

Same cause, same solution. Your server's running out of memory (or is telling Perl that it can't allocate more memory) while loading the search index.

I think you're pushing the limits of that server... You should seriously consider switching to UBBThreads

That would mean we'd have to pay our Sys Admin to install PHP and configure MySQL--and pay for the upgrade. Not even sure if it'd work in our current content management system which has Vignette Story Server working with Sybase.

Plus that'd mean I have to learn PHP & MySQL--which isn't a bad idea, but for the immediate future we--or I--don't have the time/resources to pick up another skill set...
