Re: Forum search is broken

I *believe* it is caused by the phpbb_session table being too large. possibly the mysql query is just too big, due to the way that phpbb uses exclusionary clearing.. (just look at the debug message).

I did a cursory google search, and proposed solutions ranged from sacrificing a rubber chicken, to simply clearing the phpbb_session table.

Another thing to check..if a recent upgrade wiped out the max query size that had to be set a while back.. *shrugs*

Nah - if you want to cause a stir, say this:

"Hey, it's working here!"

There's a chance you might get flamed, of course.... smile

phrak - I'll take that bet, so you owe me $25 - my representative will call on you tomorrow to collect the cash, along with his travel and accommodation expenses, finder's fee, etc.  tongue

Done. Has anyone noticed an improvement yet? (I hope the poor chick didn't die in vain)

Re: Forum search is broken

Personally I think it was the sacrificed chicken that did it. Good call, dude.
