I checked and both hooks are present, although I had to edit the xml file to change the version from 3.6.5 to 3.6.2 - but installed ok, after a quick text using an email address off the stop spam site ... I got the same error as above -

Fatal error: Cannot instantiate non-existent class: simplexmlelement in /homepages/13/d103069509/htdocs/includes/functions_vbsfs.php on line 47

After a quick check it would appear that the class simplexmlelement is only in PHP 5 upwards ... I'm on 4.4.8 -- so this isn't compatible.

Ill add a test in the code for the php5 function, if it doesnt exist, then it will have to skip. Php4 is end of live. If I get the time, Ill right a replacement for it but it seems pointless in doing that when php provides a perfectly good function

Errors being thrown are:

Code:

Database error in vBulletin 3.6.10:



Invalid SQL:

INSERT HIGH_PRIORITY IGNORE INTO vbstopforumspam_remotecache (date, data, spambot, field) VALUES (now(), '124.8.230.120', '0', 'ip');;

Tried adjusting time out settings with no success.. bummer.

Hmm, strange. I setup my firewall to drop all connections to SFS to test connection errors. Are you usign curl?

I suspect dropping connections (immediate failure) is probably exhibiting different behavior than a request stalling out from a delayed response?

I'm using default settings, so CURL if available.

My server is configured:

Code:

cURL support         enabled

cURL Information         libcurl/7.15.3 OpenSSL/0.9.7a zlib/1.2.3

Thanks

ill write some code to check if youre using php5... if not, then Im still undecided what I should do. Tomorrow, I might write some code to parse the XML without php5 functions.

But you REALLY should move to php5

skippy - Ill test how it handles complete junk response and fix them up.

Aha! I was assuming I was on PHP 5.2 but i was not, somehow it was running on 4.8 (the other guy must have messd with the settings) changed it back, works like a charm now. Thanks :)

This is a very cool hack but I'm holding off until you get the bugs out.

Im on a heavily modified 3.6.5 so please keep developing this for 3.6 Looking forward to the stable release. :up:

From Russ regarding the slow down the other day:

Quote:

DimeNOC, the datacenter where our server is hosted, experienced a massive power outage at around 8AM EST Friday morning. When the generator kicked on the UPS couldn't sustain the load and tripped about 40% of their servers. When ours finally came back up, a duplex mismatch caused the site to slow down to a crawl. Everything finally came back to normal though.

Easier said than done when you're hosting with 1and1 who very likely won't upgrade if I ask nicely!
