Title: Database Error
Post by: Stormkeeper on June 15, 2008, 11:08:55 am
I keep getting this error recently:

Quote
Database Error
Please try again. If you come back to this error screen, report the error to an administrator.

No idea why, it started happening only recently. I still can log in and stuff, so its not really a big issue, but I thought it would be good to report it anyway.

Me too. Only when I first arrive at the forums though. Once I log in everything's happy.

I was applying a patch and I made a mistake which I corrected within a minute or two.  Try a force-refresh (Ctrl-F5) if you're still having problems.

Here ya go. Not sure how much it'll help though. Although, sometimes when I get this error, the "Miss your activation e-mail" line is doubled. If I see it again, I'll put up another screenshot.

Got it. Here's what it looks like initially.

I get that too. Only on the main page. And when not logged in, the "Did you miss your activation e-mail?" part indeed shows up twice.

I only get the error if I type

hard-light.net

But I just press the 'forum' tab and everything is fine

I get it too if I click on home.  Forum works just fine though.

Yea. Its just that HLP is my homepage, so I see the error everytime I surf the net.

The main page has this error, but the forum is fine. I just tried accessing the main page via the tab in the upper left corner and I got the exact same thing.

Oh, the "main page" part is important.  I needed to apply the patch there too, and I didn't.  Fixed.

i never had that problem
Obviously you weren't here when the problem occurred.

Post by: tinfoil on June 15, 2008, 03:05:11 pm
yes i was - i just never got it
Title: Re: Database Error
Post by: Jeff Vader on June 15, 2008, 03:14:47 pm
Obviously you didn't try to access www.hard-light.net/.
Title: Re: Database Error
Post by: tinfoil on June 15, 2008, 03:15:41 pm
yes i did. it was just cached
Title: Re: Database Error
Post by: Jeff Vader on June 15, 2008, 03:17:31 pm
Thought so. Those of us who don't cache stuff suffered from the consequences. Not that it would have bothered me. I always open the forum page directly and skip the main page. Except now, when I wanted to see if this error was true.

i forgot it was cached. i usually skip to forums too anyway so i don't know why i even posted

I noticed a very small bug in the main page. It's nothing bad, but I thought you'd like to know about that. Check the attachment, its' a screenshot from the main page.

It's been like that for quite a while.

Well, we have proven that DarkSKO wants every itty detail to be precise  :nod:

That is one thing I don't have, and always willing to have that characteristics as well.

Anyways, like Turey said, it's been like that for quite some time.

A closer inspection will reveal that when one visits the main page (www.hard-light.net/), he/she will notice that the Forum part on the Highly Sophisticated Navigational SystemTM is highlighted in red, even though one isn't viewing the forums, but the actual main page.
