Using Embedded Comment Crashes Server?

jaredNZ

This is fairly drastic and I have no idea how its happening, but if I:

Put a valid vanilla_sso, and
Use the comment embedding javascript,
With a DIV id: vanilla-comments,

Then it totally crashes the apache server and I have to reboot the server.

Is there some way there could be an infinite PHP loop from the vanilla script? Perhaps an invalid cURL pointer?

PS: I want to enable embed comments at the bottom of this page: http://www.quantconnect.com/docs/QuickStart#1.2.5

peregrine

version?

jaredNZ

Hmm.. where do I find my version number?

x00

it does sound like an curl issue or maybe DOMDocument related.

you should set up and check logs

jaredNZ

I checked apache's logs, it doesn't show anything -- i.e. doesn't show the page as accessed or documents served at all. So seems like PHP is in an infinite loop. The embed.js generates the iFrame but its white -- so its like the bug occurs when the iFrame tries to navigate to its target?

x00

are saying you are DOSing yourself?

normally redirection loops are broken, they aren't allowed to go on forever.

what does the access log say?

jaredNZ

@x00 lol. Yes it looks like that, but the Apache logs show nothing --> Literally no visits. It happens when the embedded iFrame tries to navigate to "forum/index.php?p=/vanilla/embed..."

I'll enable debug mode and see if there's something obvious.

Enabling debug mode:

Fatal Error in Gdn_Autoloader.RegisterMap();
// Allow intrinsic ordering / layering of contexts by prefixing them with a context number

$MapHash = 'context:'.GetValue($ContextType, array_flip(self::$ContextOrder)).''.$Extension.''.$MapHash;

Only variables should be passed by reference

I fixed it in localhost by deleting database and re-installing fresh. This isn't an option on the production website though.

Is there some way to transfer the discussions to a fresh vanilla install?

peregrine

export and import the database.

@jaredNZ there is an addon called Porter Core available in the addon section. It will let you export from Vanilla 2. For a step by step guide, check out the wiki.

Thanks @hgtonight, it didn't work actually. I had to use MySQL manual import for future reference.
