Bug Stomp

So I just realized that transcripts aren't working. Any word on when that's going to get fixed?

The conversations are probably being added to yesterday. I totally reworked the way transcripts dates work today and at midnight tonight it'll run and hopefully work. If not I'll keep working on it.

So, what's going on with the server connection? Having it reset so often is making it virtually impossible for some bots to chat at all.

Last night's attempt to get transcript dates modified automatically ran into a bug that removed the transcripts of those bots that chatted yesterday. I've found and fixed the error and restored those transcripts to when I brought the server back online. My apologies. The good news is I have a good working system now.

As to the server connection issues - I haven't seen them. It may be that I have to try to access the site from outside the local network. I'll see what I can find out.

Thanks, glad to hear it.

Yes, I imagine being on the local network is why you haven't noticed it. The connection to the server is resetting every one minute on the dot, as far as I can tell. Even if it can't be completely eliminated, getting it down to every five or ten minutes should be enough. I doubt there are any bots with responses that take THAT long to load!

I'm still not getting any transcripts for my bots. I don't know if this is something you're still working on fixing, but I'd love to have transcripts so I know what people are having trouble with. Thanks.

Aha! Thanks for that "every minute" detail, TW. I traced the issue to a cron job from weeks ago. For a moment I set it to reboot Apache every minute just to make sure it was running. After confirming it, I set it to hourly, but somehow it was still running the old every-minute version.

Let me know if that fixes the issue. I'm not sure how a line I changed weeks ago was still being run.

Iron105 - I just found a permissions issue on new transcripts. I've set them correctly and set it up so that any newly created transcript files will have the proper permissions to be updated.

Great, that seems to have fixed it! Thanks, and I'm glad I could be of help.

when ever i ask any bot a question it doesn't work and gives me a
socket_connect() failed.
Reason: () Undefined error: 0
