Newsgroup synchronizing [message #159118] Wed, 06 May 2009 17:47 Go to next message

- First cron start from 100 to 200, but I got error on 150rd message.
- I don't know if my cron process got error
- system run next cron at other time, and this second cron process start synchronizing from 100rd message again. So the message is duplicated.
- If I make cron job every 15 minutes and I don't know this error until 3 hours, than messages 100rd to 150rd is duplicate 12 times.

My suggestion, if cron of nntp.php got error, it is safe to ignoring this error message and continue to next step (next message).

I think this is serious problem for newsgroup integration.

Thanks

And I got error while synchronizing only in message with attachments files. Some of this attached file is in big size file but some in small files. I don't know what is the reasons.

How are the attachments encoded? MIME? yEnc? FUD gave me similar problems with that, it can't deal with those kind of attachments yet.

Here's a couple of things you might want to try. First, find your php.ini and raise its memory limits. Try syncing again and see if that solves it.

The "manual" approach that I took involved bypassing a number of problem posts. Shut off your cron, delete all the sync'd posts out of that subforum, compact messages and rebuild your search index. Then sync again, shutting down your cron before you get to the problem post (you may need to adjust the "number of posts per sync")

When you're sure you've identified the problem post, go into your server and find your forum data folder. Find /errors/.nntp/ and inside it will be two files named for the newsgroup you're syncing. Ignore the one that says "lock", open the other one for editing. It contains the post number of the last post sync'd, so increment that number by one and it'll bypass the problem post.

Can you please post the error?

If you want us to try and reproduce the error, please post your NNTP server and newsgroup name.

Best of luck!

The error result is broken text, I can't upload here. And in FUDforum this message is :

message in fudforum
This is a multi-part message in MIME format.

Here is the test

Compile and run the program, press the button, you'll see only one row
(left side) but if you click in the tdbstringgrid you'll see how the
ticket in the right side will be shown. (so the rows exists)
if you press the left button (it executes the query again) all is fine.

Thanks

Yes, MIME.

My PHP memory limit is 512MB and max upload file is 200MB.
I can do fix syn with your way. But I think that rather than have duplicated messages, it is better to messages that can not be synchronized is ignoring this message.

That's consistent with my own symptoms, detailed in this thread - http://fudforum.org/forum/index.php?t=msg&th=118143&start=0& - so I'm pretty sure we've identified the problem anyway.

Basically, as it was the last time I checked, the NNTP script doesn't understand MIME (and yEnc) encoded attachments. It stalls when it hits some; it can also break and go into a loop, endlessly duplicating the last import of messages, when it hits some particular attachments; and if it imports them at all, it does so as a block of text inline with the message.

What version of FUDForum are you running? Some of the looping/duplicating issues were looked at.

It would indeed be better if FUDforum could understand MIME-encoded attachments, but a full fix would involve creating code to permit FUDforum to import them. Frank is aware of the issue, but he has a lot of stuff on his priority list so this may have to wait until a user writes code to support it.

I use versi 2.8.1 RC1.

I do synchronize from my PC (localhost webserver).
I do that because it seems in my hosting provider has limited memory PHP. But I turns out the server to my PC, the error still appears.

Because of this problem (file attachment in the message stick), then table fud28_index and fud28_search become very large. Because each letter of the binary attachment file is considered to be 1 word.

OK, I can simulate the problem:

Importing public.mseide-msegui.talk message 15133

PHP Fatal error:  Allowed memory size of 67108864 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 40 bytes) in /lampstack/apache2/htdocs/forum/data/include/theme/default/wordwrap.inc on line 49


From the above it looks like the import is choking on a large post. You will need to increase your memory limit or skip this message.

Best regards.

Ahah! Good to know. That might be at the root of some of my own problems.

I don't use some hosting provider. I do synchronize in my pc with my own webserver. My PHP memory limit is 512MB and max upload file is 200MB. I don't get the message such as you got. But I got message as broken text. I think that is binay file attachment parsing.

My plan is if synchronizing finished in my local PC, I'll upload to my sites and continue get new messages with cron.

I'm confused with this problem.

OK, so you already increased the memory limit and can import the message, but when you look at it you see binary characters. The reason is that the post has a very large MIME file attached to it and FUDforum doesn't recognize it as an attachment (only UUENCODED attachments are supported at this stage). As a result the attachment is included in the message body.

But this problem not on big file attachment only. In message 16042rd (thread "display trouble on ubuntu 9.04"), in this thread only PNG file with size 299KB. But when I import it, attached files is included to message body too.

Thanks

Right, all MIME encoded files will be displayed in the message body. You are welcome to update the script to support MIME attachments and contribute it back to the project.

Which files should I check? I'm not web programmer, I'm FreePascal programmer, but I'll try it and I hope I can.
