Just Got This

#1192 posted by DaZ on 2008/03/22 15:58:20

Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Too many connections in /home/johnfitz/sites/www.celephais.net/board/_database.php on line 9

Im guessing the site was just busy?

hmm, yeah i guess so. I'm not sure if the connection limit is per-database or for the entire domain, so we might be competing with the cube forums or something.

Could we get a spoiler tag ~~that makes the text inside color #333333?~~

Good Idea

Weird IP Closure

#1196 posted by RickyT33 on 2008/04/01 13:11:54

Post #18 on the Slave thread, I was using my friends laptop through a USB wire-less modem.
Gave one of those weird IPs people were talking about; 127.255.255.255

How exciting!

IP Thing...

#1197 posted by metlslime on 2008/04/01 21:32:12

thanks for the extra info. I wonder if it's a PHP bug or maybe this is a "feature" of some routers.

It Can't Be Router Thing, Can It?

#1198 posted by mwh on 2008/04/02 11:38:38

I mean, if you think the other end of the socket is connected to the IP address 127.255.255.255, you'll have a hard time sending a web page to them...

Oh Ah Uh

Posting from Windows XP now. Firefox 3.0b4.
And got the 127.255.255.255.
No proxy for sure. But a router (like always).

127.255.255.255 Possible Fix

#1206 posted by metlslime on 2008/04/18 10:13:59

I changed the IP fields from ints to unsigned ints... which is weird because i'm fairly certain they WERE unsigned, but all the server migrations and upgrades in the past few years might have done something to it.

Anyway, someone who was able to generate the 127.255.255.255 address before, please try again and see if it still happens.

Dunno..

#1207 posted by czg on 2008/04/18 11:15:09

Argh...

#1208 posted by metlslime on 2008/04/18 20:35:32

i just noticed, some people in the thread above are now 0.0.0.0

but at least CZG is legit now.

No...

#1209 posted by metlslime on 2008/04/19 10:27:47

so that wasn't the right fix, ip2long and long2ip are supposed to use signed ints. I have reverted the changes, fixing the 0.0.0.0 problem.

I still can't tell what's wrong, but at least old data from the database is coming out and displaying correctly, but new data going in is getting IPs >= 128.0.0.0 turned into 127.255.255.255. The change coincides with the latest server move. So maybe it's a PHP or mySQL version issue.

Or...

#1210 posted by metlslime on 2008/04/19 11:12:42

perhaps it's a 64-bit issue, though i can barely believe they would do something so dumb:

But apparently it's "not a bug":

New Fix

#1211 posted by metlslime on 2008/04/19 11:14:34

implemented a new fix assuming that the problem is 64 bit ints. Hope it works. This can't help all the 127.255.255.255 addresses from the past two months, though.

The Old Response

#1212 posted by ijed on 2008/04/19 18:28:42

It's not a bug, it's a feature!

Cool,

#1213 posted by metlslime on 2008/04/19 23:15:01

seems like it worked.
