is SR under attack? - SoberRecovery : Alcoholism Drug Addiction Help and Information

All About Love · 02-12-2009, 04:37 AM

i run a mac, so viruses an trojans do not affect my system, its just ive noticed that SR is slow in all regards.
slow to load slow to post replies
i was still waiting after7minutes for post reply page to load just before, so was just wondering if there is a problem at your end?
as ive done all the diagnostic stuff on my system(do it daily) an she's running smooth as everywhere but here.
If anyone can enlighten me i'd be glad for it.
thanx
nite

The problem is probably the server SR uses, whether it is under attack or just going wonky I dunno.

nelco · 02-12-2009, 05:22 AM

my computer fine but only this site was crazy slow last night and once again this morning i also got a message saying "data base error" but back working now a little better.

Thanks stone

IO Storm · 02-12-2009, 12:39 PM

It's been knocking me out for days.

I had 522 trojans in all my drives the other day. Probably on my end.

serenityqueen · 02-12-2009, 01:02 PM

I have been having the same problems.

I kept getting the message data base error for a few hours yesterday. My Norton's is also going crazy with trojan alerts too. And slow, wow, I can click on something, leave the room, go get a can of Diet Pepsi out of the frig and when I come back, I'm still not connected.

WHEN I NEED MY SR, I NEED MY SR!!!!!

Been getting the data base errors since saturday.

All About Love · 02-12-2009, 05:36 PM

this is crazy, better not damage my computer!
i will nopt be happy at all if this virus or whatever affect my system!
i think im going to stay away from here til its sorted

Can MODS please send an em,ail out to members when this problem is all fixed?

***Morning Glory*** · 02-12-2009, 07:10 PM

It is not a virus. There are some problems from additional programs they are testing on the server. I will keep them informed of the problems so they can fix them.

Please be specific about the problems you are having so I know what to tell them since I don't have the same problems as some of you do. What's happening today?

ex D-Boy · 02-12-2009, 09:42 PM

had a few problems yesterday MG. could load up the mainpage but when i would click onto the forums section it would give me that Database error.

No problems at all today, running nice and smooth now

stone · 02-12-2009, 11:40 PM

The only probs I have had are database (can't connect) errors and pages loading very slowly.

Nikky, it can't affect your puter, lol.

All About Love · 02-13-2009, 12:53 AM

Gudgudgudgudgudgud
seems to be better again now though

Pixy1 · 02-13-2009, 05:05 AM

I have the same problems as Stone.

jimhere · 02-13-2009, 08:57 AM

I couldn't post a fairly long post on the Tradition Two thread, and now it is lost. What a pain.

least · 02-13-2009, 10:47 AM

I get a lot of 'database' error messages and pages/replies loading very slowly, if at all. Sometimes it's bad, other times not so much. frustrating tho.

IO Storm · 02-13-2009, 11:08 AM

I can't post new threads.

No thank you buttons, quotes, or edits.

I cannot see any images. (mine..I can see others, however.)

I cannot edit my own posts.

My profile page is blank to me..I cannot "see' anything there.

Weird.

PM's..have disappeared.

Have you tried to delete temporary internet files, cookies, and reinstall java?

IO Storm · 02-13-2009, 01:20 PM

I will try that...thanks MG.

MG, thanks for your tireless efforts to keep this place running smoothly. It can't be easy, it's probably pretty thankless, but it doesn't go unnoticed. Many thanks for all you do for us.

TryingSoHard · 02-13-2009, 01:38 PM

I haven't had any problems other than the DB Error. At times the site runs very slowly, but I don't consider that a "problem"... just an annoyance.

What worked for me today was: when I got the DB error I tried going to the sr home page (SoberRecovery: Drug Rehab | Drug Addiction Treatment Center | Alcoholism | Addiction Mental Health | Directory Substance Abuse Detox Programs). It loaded. I clicked on a link OTHER thank "forums" - in this case, I clicked on "blogs" and it loaded. From there I could go to the normal forum homepage. This HAS NOT worked in the past, but it DID work just now.

Also - is there a trick to using the backup site? I couldn't log on with my normal password there. Thanks!!

**shockozulu** · 02-13-2009, 01:46 PM

I had a problem for a few minutes yesterday. Today I have had problems on and off for at least an hour. I went to the front page and saw this error:

Quote:

[CaRP] Database not connected or unable to open connection

When I clicked on the link it sent me to CaRP's website which stated:

Quote:

Web This Site

CaRP: Caching RSS Parser - Documentation

CaRP Interactive FAQ
Getting Started: Free Download | Purchase | Install
Reference: Functions | Plugins | Themes | Full Index
Etc.: Display Formatting | Example Code | Affiliates

Database not connected

Explanation

You called a function which attempted to access a database, but CaRP was unable to connect to the database or doesn't know about an existing connection to the database.

Causes and Solutions

* Your database configuration data is incorrect: Verify that the configuration information that you've given to CaRP is correct (probably in carpconf.php, or in the code of your page where you're using CaRP).
* You are using both mySQL caching and CaRP Evolution's mySQL plugin, but you've only configured one of the two: mySQL caching and the mySQL plugin must have their connection configurations done separately. Be sure you've done both.
* Your webpage has already opened a database connection, but CaRP thinks that it needs to open a connection (but doesn't have the necessary configuration settings to do so): Set the mysql-connect configuratin setting to 0 (zero) or store the connection ID from the connection you opened in the mysql-connection setting.

IO Storm · 02-13-2009, 01:49 PM

I deleted my temp files, MG. Restored Java to default.

Wow..PC runs lightning fast again..but I still don't see a difference in the previous

problems with images or posting.

Attending a convention tonite..if you have advice..please give it.

I will work on it later.

Thank you so very much!!!!!
