PHP Errors

[Heptameron]

You guys might know about this already, but I'm getting these about two-thirds of the times I load a page (and it always makes the page load slowly).

Warning: Unknown(): php_network_getaddresses: getaddrinfo failed: Name or service not known in /global.php(389) : eval()'d code on line 15

Warning: Unknown(http://www.thehelper.net/leftmain.php?forumid=67): failed to open stream: Success in /global.php(389) : eval()'d code on line 15

We have been getting these off and on for a few weeks now. It is not the site, it is the same as it has been. There is something wrong with the server we are on. However, the problem is intermittent and every time I report it to tech support they don't get the error. It is like a nightmare really. We have been having some host problems lately. We are working to try and sort it out. Thanks for the report.

On the home page this happened to me. All the links said this. I refreshed and the same thing happened. : /

 

[SD_Ryoko]

I have made some major changes in how the navigation bar runs; we will see if this has any effect on the situation.

 

[Heptameron]

Well, they haven't shown up today yet; maybe it worked.

 

[SD_Ryoko]

You never know, its hit-and-miss with these errors.

The old nav bar used to open the tutorial site and extract the information it needs; I think that was over-loading the access ammounts and open files....or something.

We'll see now if it goes away.

 

[DM Cross]

Well, overlord of the dark side

They seem to be gone from the Navigation bar, I haven't gotten ONE from that since you said ya fixed it. The header and stuff still do it occasionally, but more rarely.

And uh... SUDDENLY NONE OF MY POSTS CAN BE MARKED AS READ!

DAMMIT!

But that's not a big deal... I'll fix it... Eventually

 

[The Helper]

Unfortunately, since there is no PHP code in the header, just a php include, if you are still getting the error it is probably not fixed. Judging by the response I got from the host they are not going to be too helpful if the problem comes back. Hopefully what SD did took care of the problem, fingers crossed, but I was on at some ungodly time last night and it was working then as well so I am not sure what fixed it. Only time will tell.

Earlier today I got a Bandwith Limit Exceeded error.

 

[The Helper]

Bandwidth exceeded problem should be eliminated. If you ever get that message again email me at [email protected] and let me know. I am not on 24 hours a day and at least I can do something about that error message.

I can assure everyone that the problem isn't with the way this site is coded.

As TheHelper said, it's an issue related to our server, and most likely due to improper configuration on our hosts end for PHP or an improper vHost configuration for Apache (which would cause problems with the DNS which would then make IP matching for relative paths troublesome).

I have no idea how to fix the problem, but these are just a couple of suggestions.

 

[SD_Ryoko]

If what I changed FIXED the problem, then it is fair to say my original nav bar STARTED the problem.

And I am sorry for the inconvenience.

if ($RyokoStarted_Problem == 'TRUE')
...print "Apologies.";

 

[Heptameron]

I've seen it at least twice this evening, but it's nowhere near as common. And it's only one or two errors instead of six.
