Do you want the active topic and search function back?

[carbonfibah]

Well if you do, you have to help me with a problem. Awhile ago the site was using a lot of CPU and we were being trottled by the host. Now I looked up these occurrences and found that the site was snagging up because of something one person did with the search feature, whatever it may be. So until I could fix the search, I disabled it. Well now trying to reactivate it, it doesn't seem to work.

It says

Sorry but you cannot use search at this time. Please try again in a few minutes.

It could be an issue where it is not connecting to the database correctly to get the content.

Now, I am not sure what needs to be fixed or changed. This is what I currently have the forum's search settings to.

So if we can get this resolved then those features can return.

ughhhhhhh change the load limit, or maybe the interval? I’m sorry i’m sick normally i can speak fluent computer, but mai head iz all fuzzy. try it tho it MIGHT work

[carbonfibah]

No, I changed some things and disabled it. I just deleted the search index I had and am currently indexing all the posts now to see if that will fix the problem.

[twiggerto]

that might work. but while we r here.......what do you think about a codZ youtube campaign?

[carbonfibah]

re-creating the index didn't work.

[twiggerto]

maybe try to re-install it?

[carbonfibah]

uh wut? that won't do anything, me re-indexing the posts for the search would kind of be the same thing.

The search function worked for a second, then I read a few more posts and its gone down again... :/

[edit] try reducing the system search load limit down to 2?

Originally it was set at 1, so that is what I put it back to. No instant results, but maybe I have to re-index it, or delete cookies, perhaps there is something that needs to be reset. That's all I got at the moment, but thanks for that, I forgot I had changed that awhile back.

Do you have a host you could ask about it?

Maybe its personal preference, but I'd put at least a 1 second flood interval

Your host should have no problem helping you. (unless they're some asses)

I used InMotion hosting when I had forums and anytime I had a problem I would just open a help ticket with them, explain the problem and they would either tell me what to do or go in and fix it for me... worth a short if you haven't asked them, worst they'll say is no help.

[carbonfibah]

I don't think the hosting company will help with third party issues. This forum being a third party program doesn't have the kind of support we need... I don't think. I guess a thread on the phobb3 official forums is the best solution.

[carbonfibah]

I have fixed this issue, everything should be working fine now.

[GOaheadRAGEQUIT]

yep you were prob right. I looked back and the forums I used were part of my Cpanel so InMotion didn't mind giving support for it. If I installed my own version of php or dif board I would have been on my own.

Great work as always Carbon... What was the problem exactly?

I'm just curious...
