creepypastalive Yolo ah, indeed... That's because disk usage is at 100 % 🙈

I will have to archive inactive forums, and bring back our status monitor.

Edit: Monitor created, should've done that right after migration. Sorry for that

Most forums are accessible now, but creepypastalive's forum CSS doesn't display correctly. There is probably an error message in the console, but I can't check that right now. I will sync all forums after the cleanup is done and then I'll check your forum. As for Yolo 's, I don't know your forum name, but it might be accessible now(?)

Edit 2: When I included Cache Assets extension, I updated all extensions to latest version. There seemed to be a conflict with that:

I have reverted the extension update to the second recent (which was 21 days ago). This made the error disappear on my test forum, and your forum seems to be normal now creepypastalive.

I tried to find out what exactly caused the error, but I wasn't successful. It didn't seem that wikimedia/less.php nor flarum/core have updated (they were already at latest version), so it wasn't a result of some code change that introduced incompatibility between these two. But that's what's been causing the CSS of your forum to break. It could've even been a result of me tampering with PHP extenders for Flarum that I don't understand very well. I'll leave the logs there anyways, maybe someone might know more as of what went wrong...

creepypastalive

just before the break happened, i tried to create a landing page, using the extention, maybe that caused the problem?

SKevo

creepypastalive that's very unlikely, since it was a global issue. I think that it happened because I either changed the extenders, or updated extensions and some of them aren't compatible with each other due to code change

DavecUK

Unfortunately I can't access the admin panel, I just get the message
"An error occurred while trying to load this page."

https://coffeetime.freeflarum.com/

Forums been a little flaky today, but I imagine that was because of the disk usage.

DavecUK "An error occurred while trying to load this page."

at your website i see this message: Update Flarum Enter your database password to update Flarum. Before you proceed, you should back up your database. If you have any trouble, get help on the Flarum website.

yes, absolutly..

SKevo

tom23 at your website i see this message: Update Flarum Enter your database password to update Flarum. Before you proceed, you should back up your database. If you have any trouble, get help on the Flarum website.

I am aware of that. I currently can't update all extensions, because there are conflicts between some of them and third party libraries. I will report error messages that were logged to its developers tomorrow. It's likely a conflict with some library (for example: iluminate's code changed and causes conflicts). FF stays at Flarum 1.3.1 for the time being.

DavecUK was anything logged in the console? If not, and the error is still present, may I please create a temporary admin account at your forum to debug this?

tom23

SKevo thx for the quick response. now we have this message: Flarum encountered a boot error. Details have been logged to the Flarum log file.

DavecUK

SKevo DavecUK was anything logged in the console? If not, and the error is still present, may I please create a temporary admin account at your forum to debug this?

I didn't see anything obvious in the console. There was this, which might be related to not being able to access the admin panel.

You are welcome to create a temporary admin account and try to resolve as I still cannot access the admin panel.

I get the "An error occurred while trying to load this page." message.

technoob

Hello, my forum is also not loading. Do we need to just wait it out or is there something we need to do? Thanks

SKevo

technoob tom23 I had to restart MariaDB. Is the error gone now?

technoob

SKevo

Not for me. I'm getting the following in the log:

SKevo

technoob if you are talking about the trace from earlier (technoob), then I just noticed that it is related to E-mail.

If not, then it would be helpful if you could provide me some specific log (either from console or server-side). The best would be if you'd share your forum name with me so I can look at it

SKevo

Thank you. Yes, I saw that - restarting MariaDB fixed that.

DavecUK You are welcome to create a temporary admin account and try to resolve as I still cannot access the admin panel.

Thanks, will check

DavecUK it seems to be that error message that I have encountered today:

I am not sure what might be causing it. I tried recursively updating the permissions for folders, but that didn't help. All extensions were rolled back, and forum was synced multiple times (so DB migrate and cache cleared). My best guess is that maybe .gitignore files weren't rolled back, which results in mixed content of "old" and "new" (since I reverted it from our GitHub). I'll check if that's the case, and let you know of updates

Edit: yeah, it was that - storage/less was ignored, so it had less from the future. Now, admin panel should be accessible - can you check that, please?

DavecUK

SKevo I can access the admin panel now. I think server side you must still have some resource issues, but I imagine that will ripple through the system overnight.

Thanks

SKevo

DavecUK I think server side you must still have some resource issues, but I imagine that will ripple through the system overnight.

Hopefully. I am clearing lesscache for all forums now, which should finally solve the issue for everyone.

Also, feel free to remove my SKevo account now that it was resolved.

wolfshards

Hello, my forum is run into a error when loading up and is make mess. I sync from settings but still broken yet.

I cannot get access to admin panel.

Okay there a bug with asirem. But my forum is fine after the reset.

SKevo

wolfshards I cannot get access to admin panel.

This is related to the issue above. It should be resolved overnight/in cca. 5 hours

Yolo

SKevo This is related to the issue above. It should be resolved overnight/in cca. 5 hours

mhh.. we get this message:
Flarum encountered a boot error. Details have been logged to the Flarum log file.

anyway - thx 4 your work 🙂

SKevo

Yolo some forums that I have tried (including mine) seem to work. Can you please check https://freeflarum.com/settings/logs and paste the latest log trace here? I can't help you if I don't know your forum URL

Yolo

SKevo i am at work now, will look later. atm it is very slow and after refresh it comes: 504 Gateway Time-out or Flarum encountered a boot error. Details have been logged to the Flarum log file.

SKevo Can you please check https://freeflarum.com/settings/logs and paste the latest log trace here?

nice try 😉 i get this message
Internal Server Error
The server encountered an internal error and was unable to complete your request. Either the server is overloaded or there is an error in the application.

SKevo

Yolo it's because of server overload - rsync is still syncing forums. I will terminate it for now and wait for the load to get back to normal (https://freeflarum.com/status).

Is your forum accessible now?

Edit: turns out that cron was eating IO too. It was an unfortunate coincidence that I was rsyncing forums along with cron doing its job (right after clearing lesscache for all forums). Cron uses ionice, which should mitigate this, however we don't use that for rsync (yet). I will wait for dust to settle, and then re-run each task one after another. Since not all forums have been rsynced, you might want to fix them up first - and if that doesn't work, please contact me.

I have now terminated processes that were taking up too much RAM/CPU. I deeply apologize for all the incidents that have happened yesterday and today. Please, let me know if the issue persists.

I am actually considering to create a better status page for FreeFlarum (with incident reports) and a Twitter account for status updates - so that the community stays up-to-date with latest alerts, maintenances and downtime.
