I have been told by our system administrator that the ad network is causing significant performance issues on our site. Is this possible? I am using the asp version.
Well ive had two of my shared hosting accounts suspended today due to it, this is the errorlog hostgator sent me [Wed Aug 31 11:49:29 2005] [error] PHP Warning: fread(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource in /home/gra/public_html/ad_network_360.php on line 10 [Wed Aug 31 11:49:29 2005] [error] PHP Warning: feof(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource in /home/gra/public_html/ad_network_360.php on line 9 [Wed Aug 31 11:49:29 2005] [error] PHP Warning: fread(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource I dont even use ad_network_360.php I have it renamed. I also ahve a dedicated server which today had to restart apache several times which I think is related to this! Ive had to disable the ads on my sites as a result Anyone know what this might be or have similar problems? This has never happended to me before
Yeah, I got that exact error, me being me didnt associate it to the coop coz i didnt look at it properly. Have had some nice 100mb error log files building up though (until i run out of web space - then it gives up!) At least I know what it is now! Shawn - can u enlighten us?
Hi, there was a few hours where I cound only see errors where the ads should have been and I couldn't see the forums or ads.digitalpoint.com so I took my ads offline. They are back now but just thought I'd let you know. [Wed Aug 31 18:59:51 2005] [error] PHP Warning: feof(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource in /home/watersw/public_html/ad_network_358.php on line 9 Code (markup): my error logs were filling up with this until I took them down.
I had the same errors and just commented out the ads for a while. I think the server went down for a couple of hours.
Yeah it took down one of my sites hard.. I am glad I caught before my provider did.. I had over a gig of error logs in a very short amount of time. Is there any decent way to prevent this kind of fall-out of the co-op servers become inaccesible?
Yeah would be good if we could put something in that script to kill it if the server goes down or just tell it not to write errors to the logs.
I''ve been getting PHP errors on all my digitalpoint ad sites - the error logs complete fill up all webspace: This actually started a few days ago, but I thought it was a temporary glitch. So I have been forced to disable all my ads for now. Any reason for this?
There was a problem this morning, but it should be fine now and also should not be happening for a few days. Are you sure it's still happening? There was an issue that was traced to a bug in the database server (MySQL in this case). I've written a "band-aid" for it (to monitor it), and am working with some guys at MySQL to fix it.
Yes, I just had to delete loads of error logs, so if it isn't happening anymore, it was until a very short time ago. BTW I'm still running the ad_network_339.php version - could this be an issue? And is it imperative to upgrade to the latest version - it would be a major pain ... :cry:
Forums are not on a separate location/server. All major services (keyword tracker, forums and ad network) use a beefy dedicated MySQL database server (that server does not do anything else like run a web server).
Hm.. So this was the reason why I found one of my hosting accounts suspended yesterday.. I suspected that when I found an error log that was over 1.4GB filled with only "ad_network.. etc." entries... Are you sure (at least as sure as you can be) that this wont happen again if I enable the ads again now Shawn?? Thanks.
The question was (probably) not ment the way you understood it now... What I ment was "is the "band-aid fix" just a temporary one, or is the ad network 100% ok now??" Got a mail from the server tech support a few hours ago, and they insisted that the server load still was higher than usual, but not as high as it was by the time my site was taken offline. I've just had a site with 10,000+ daily visitors temporary suspended (back online now). I lost a couple of hundreds $$ because of the downtime, so I just want to be 100% sure that I'm not risking anything at all when I enable the ads again...
