Hi there, I hope you can help me. Ever since I upgraded from 1.0.4 to 1.0.5, every now and again, I get a white screen with funny characters on. (see attached) It can happen at any time (e.g. going into Superuser Grotto, going to forest, etc.) It a space of 5-10 minutes, it probably happened to me 5 or 6 times. This never happened with 1.0.4 that I'm aware of. Most of the time pressing the REFRESH button in the browser fixes the problem. This issue has been reported now to me by four of my users. I've de-activated all non-standard modules (I only had three downloaded ones anyway) just in case but it still happens.

Any suggestions?

Seems weird...

Did you try to copy 1.0.5 all over it again?

Only time I've seen this happen is with low memory. If you have the lotgdutils installed deactivate the code count. Otherwise you may need to raise the memory allocated to PHP.

Not yet, but I might give it ago unless other suggestions here don't help.

I hate to ask, but how would one increase memory allocated to PHP? I guess it's a setting in PHP.INI somewhere? Do you know where in PHP.INI?

Aye,
 php.ini

Should be a line that looks like

Code:
memory_limit = 128M      ; Maximum amount of memory a script may consume (8MB)

Course the limit is default as 8M / mine has been increased. You may try 32 as the next step.

If you can't get to the php.ini file, you can use a php function. There is a file called local_config.php in the LotGD distro that will state what you are currently allocating.

If you didn't understand anything in the above post, don't try to attempt anything suggested.

It seems it's not a LotGD specific thing. It's very strange that it's just start in the last day or so though. But it occurs in my site's forum shoutbox too, obviously not related to LotGD. I changed the memory allocation though in PHP.INI and it's still happening.

I'm confused but will let you guys/gals know if and when it gets sorted... or if you have any other suggestions.

Have you contacted your webhost tech support yet?  Sounds like it could be a corrupted file in your php support installation, or something like that.

I actually host the site myself on a Windows Server so I need to try and figure out what may have gone wrong and how to address the issue. Sad

Not sure, my box is a quad 3ghz with 12 GB of memory. RH9/PHP 4/MySQL 3.23.58

It had the same issue in logd.. Although, after I changed the memory allocation and turned off the code count it corrected the issue. Not to say the problem couldn't be somewhere else...But that is all I had changed.

EDIT: Upgrading to MySQL 5 in the next couple of days...very curious how that turns out.

Were the characters that you saw the same as the ones in my screen capture? In my case, it's always the same characters for me and other users of my site who get the issue. (It would be interesting to know if some users don't get the issue).

If you have the lotgdutils installed deactivate the code count.
Is this a standard module that's installed? If so, I can't find it.
