Server Error, unable to connect to fastcgi server.

[jamesmwis]

Hi, I've set up this directory earlier this week (http://www.loantroducer.co.uk/directory). Having a few issues, the most serious at the moment is the error message in the title thats being brought up in the admin area.

I set up a new user (editor), when I logged in everything looked like it was working until I tried editing a category, which is when I first got the error. I tried logging out and back in, now it’s not letting me in at all, getting the same error message.

Have tried setting up a new user account and the exact same thing has happened.

Thankfully the administrator account still works. Any ideas?

*Should have said using version 3.2.0 and being hosted with fasthosts.co.uk

Hello and welcome!

Can you please post the error message that you see when using the editor mode to change a category?

Hi Boby,

Its the same error message all the time... "Server Error, unable to connect to fastcgi server."

On my first impression I'm thinking the problem is with my host, but with the administrator account still working fine I'm not seeing how it can be?

Bit more info, its hosted on Windows 2003 and I have other sites running php just fine on it (no directories). I have the option for a fee to move it to the windows 2003 server designed for scripts or Linux. Obviously not wanting to do with unless people think it’ll fix it?

Maybe your server has some hickups. Dawzz is the servers expert here and could probably come with a better suggestion than me.

Just to add to the weirdness. If I set-up a regular user, it won't let me login at all. Tried it a few times, it's not just me with a typo. So..
Admin = Fine
Editor = Server Error, unable to connect to fastcgi server
Regular User = Won't log in.

Tried changing the template and messing around with some of the setting, to no avail.
:confused:

let me look into it but my kneejerk response if go with linux I dont care how good a windows server is set up to run php it can not compare with linux running apache.

[jamesmwis]

Moved it to Linux and after a bunch of "Error 500 - Internal server error" messages its back online.

Now...

Admin = Fine

Editor = Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 20971520 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 50 bytes) in /home/fhlinux164/l/loantroducer.co.uk/user/htdocs/directory/libs/adodb/adodb.inc.php on line 929

Regular User = Still won't log in.

Any idea's?

Create a file phpinfo.php with the following content:
Content visible to registered users only.And look for "memory_limit" can you tell us how much?

If you want to increase the memory limit, add the following to your .htaccess file:
Content visible to registered users only.
or to your /include/settings.php
Content visible to registered users only.8MB is the default value, I never had problems with it, but in the above example you increase it to 16MB.

[jamesmwis]

It's PHP Version 5.2.3 with the memory limit set at 20m by my host.

Just created a new editor account and am now getting "No permissions set for this user."

argh this is painfull :o

[jamesmwis]

Ignore that last bit about permissions, that was just me being thick.

I've upped my memory limit on the settings.php file. It's let me log in as an editor then when i've tried updating a cat...

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 16777216 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 22081 bytes) in /home/fhlinux164/l/loantroducer.co.uk/user/htdocs/directory/include/functions.php on line 2040

Hi everyone,

Brand new to this forum and phpLD. I installed the new version 3.3 and am having some issues.

I got a category that doesn't want to be deleted and a link that doesn't appear in admin. Also, I've been getting this message all night long everytime I tried to rebuid the category cache:

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 28211 bytes) in /home/site/public_html/directory/include/functions.php2057

My server config is:
Apache version on line 1.3.37 (Unix)
PHP version4.4.6
MySQL version4.1.22-standard-log

Anyhelp will be appreciated.

Regards,

GF

go into the database and remove the category. the rebuild will not work until you do so. It may have a blank title or probably it's id as the parent id also

[GlobalFusion]

Thanks a lot for your help Dawzz!

That did the trick and was able to rebuild the category cache.

What a nice piece of software. It does exactly what I was looking for to start an intense link building campaign.

Cheers :D
