Johnny_Sokko Posted October 12, 2019 Share Posted October 12, 2019 (edited) Ok why do I keep getting an "Internal Server Error" when I try to make a post longer than what you see here? Edited October 12, 2019 by Johnny_Sokko Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SBARC Posted October 12, 2019 Share Posted October 12, 2019 This is odd....I wonder if anyone else having this problem? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ReccePhreak Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 (edited) This is odd....I wonder if anyone else having this problem? I have had it quite a few times recently, when I am editing my FS/FT post. What I do to overcome the "Server Error" is to edit one or two lines/items, then save the post. I then go back and do the same thing, as many times as it takes to edit my entire post. Larry Edited October 13, 2019 by ReccePhreak Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Larry Well THAT sounds convenient! I wonder if the moderators have any other suggestions? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ReccePhreak Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 Well THAT sounds convenient! I wonder if the moderators have any other suggestions? I keep my FS/FT list on my computer as a Text file. When I need to update my FS posting, I do all the changes on my Text file, then remove the text in my ARC posting and replace it with my updated Text file. All I then have to do is add the various formatting (Bold Text, Underline, Strike Through). But if I get that dreaded "Server Error", I have to change a small section at a time, save it, then go back in and repeat the process until my whole post is updated. Not very "Convenient".

Larry Sounds familiar, I also typically do a "cut n' paste" from a text file. I just can't imagine a popular website that has been around for so long would allow such a glaring problem to remain a problem. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I just can't imagine a popular website that has been around for so long would allow such a glaring problem to remain a problem. One time it happened to me, I put a post up, but got ZERO replies. So I just deleted the post, since I was able to "work around" the issue. Another time ISTR emailing Steve, but got no response. (I may have used the wrong email address). Again, I just gave up trying to get help, since I had a (Not very easy) work around. Larry Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SBARC Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 Sorry guys. I have no clue how to fix this problem. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Trojan Thunder Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 It could be a issue with the database behind the forum not being able to write to/update an existing record. I see it sometimes with the databases I deal with at work. I can't help with a fix but perhaps Steve approach the hosts to see if anything is being logged when these errors occur?

When I just update a large post a few lines at a time, it appears to work "as advertised". Larry Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SBARC Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 that could be seriously frustrating. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
phantom Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 Steve, I have been trying to mail in submissions to the gallery. But can not seem too. All my other emails are working, just the stuff to ARC is not sending. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SBARC Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 Steve, I have been trying to mail in submissions to the gallery. But can not seem too. All my other emails are working, just the stuff to ARC is not sending. Hi Shawn. It works ok for me....but I have received no new articles in 5 days. This indicates to me something is not working. I am working on setting up a new dedicated server for the ARC site......not the ARC forums. Once that is set up, I will test it and if it is able to function for ARC, then I will move the submissions@arcair.com e-mail box to the new server. For now please send article to sheb@telus.net Quote Link to post Share on other sites
phantom Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 Ok, i will try again tomorrow. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
