Long thread titles won't load

Hi guys,

I've had to upgrade my board due to a hacker taking over the site (needed full restore, including the sql databaes!)

Anyway, all is good, but I have one issue.

It a thread has a long title (eg, 2004 Allroad - Relay clicking noise from glove box and flat battery :-( ), and you click on it, internet explorer comes up with an error that the page can not be displayed.

The URL is: http://www.ozaudi.com/forums/showthr...flat-battery-(

Any suggestions? I'm assuming it's a setting that I need to change, but don't know what to do.

Any help REALLY appreciated.

Try making your (PHP) PHP Max Post Size and PHP Memory Limit More

Also This HERE

thanks for your help.

I tried adding in "ini_set('memory_limit', -1);" to the config.php file, but still the same result (not sure if I had to do anything else, or just wait for it to recognise the new setting).

I'm looking for the php.ini file, but can't find it on the site... I'll keep on looking..

I did manage to find php config though...

Directive  Value
asp_tags Off
file_uploads On
include_path .:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php
max_execution_time 30
max_input_time 30
memory_limit 96M
register_globals Off
safe_mode Off
session.save_path /tmp
upload_max_filesize 32M

More on the error I get when trying to open a 'long titled' thread:

Internet Explorer cannot read this webpage format
HTTP 406
What you can try:
Go back to the previous page.

More information

This error (HTTP 406 Not Acceptable) means that Internet Explorer was able to receive information from the website you visited, but the information was not in a format that Internet Explorer can display.

For more information about HTTP errors, see Help.

In the mean time unitl I resolve this, is there a way to set a maximum length (say 55) for threads?

the php code above you linked didnt have

"PHP Max Post Size" you need to edit this

thanks for that. Just working with the guys to find the php.ini file as I can't find it, or I don't have access to it :-)

Try taking the -( off the end of the thread title.

Thanks for that, but it's not that simple unforunately.

It's definately to do with the length of thread as I have many more with the issue (and some just have 'normal' text)..

Boofo

07-28-2010 09:11 PM

Did you try it?

jnrdavo

07-28-2010 10:16 PM

no, but have with others.

The problem is that you can't modify the thread title once its been entered.

Only way to do it is to go in to the sql database and remove from there...

What do you mean you can't change it? The Admin can change it anytime they want.

I just made a thread with the tile:

2004 Allroad - Relay clicking noise from glove box and flat battery :-( )

and clicking on it takes me straight to the thread. Is this happening on another page in the thread?

jnrdavo

07-28-2010 10:50 PM

ok, I'm getting closer in solving this one...

It seems that when you click on a thread or post, it includes the thread id AND the thread header in.... not sure why...

If I remove the thread header and just have the post ID, it works...

EG:

http://www.ozaudi.com/forums/showthr...I-install-them

compared to me just typing in:

http://www.ozaudi.com/forums/showthread.php?28609

....which works fine.....

Any ideas how to turn this off so it doesn't include the thread header ?

Boofo

Have you checked with your host to see if this is a mod_security issue on their end? Like I said, it works fine for me on my site.

jnrdavo

07-28-2010 11:17 PM

no I haven't, not sure what to ask them :-)

The same content worked fine in vbuleltin 3.8..... had to upgrade the other day as we got hacked badly (actually removed the sql database!), so it was time to upgrade...

--------------- Added [DATE]1280362724[/DATE] at [TIME]1280362724[/TIME] ---------------

I've actually got 4 other boards with the same probelm. They were upgraded many months ago, some were new boards, but all with the same issue......

It's got to be a setting somewhere, just need to find it :-)

I was getting these errors also and it turned out they needed to whitelist me on some mod_security rules.

ok, thanks. I'll check with the hoster and see what they/I can come up with.

Many thanks for your help :-)

Can you post your ".htaccess"

jnrdavo

07-29-2010 07:52 AM

respone from hosting site:

im afraid we dont permit adjustmnents of the php.ini file anymore on a site by site basis

having said that the memory limit is 96Mb and Max Post size is 32Mb and there should be no need for any higher values

They did give me the option to upgrade the plan to my own VM instance where I can change the details.

.htaccess reads:

Try adding this to the bottom

RewriteRule ^members/.* member.php [QSA]

RewriteRule ^blogs/.* blog.php [QSA]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -s [OR]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -l [OR]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d



RewriteRule ^.*$ - [NC,L]



# MVC

RewriteRule ^(?:(.*?)(?:/|$))(.*|$)$ $1.php?r=$2 [QSA]

IF you use Apache!!

i was just reading this over ...where it is showing the post name ..that looks like eithersetting in vbulletin 4. I have seen vbulletin 4 built is seo cause issues. I would shut that off first or change how it is behaving. I would do this before i would do any .htaccess rules.

it is in vbulletin options - server setting and optimization settings

I would actually go there and set friendly urls to standard urls and see if that fixes your issue. I think it will..

If not it is one of those settings in friendly url or somewhere in that section.

MANY, MANY, MANY THANKS!!

I ended up having to change the following to get it to work properly.

URL Type
Enabling friendly URLs can increase your site's ranking in search engines. = Advanced Friendly URLs

Enforce Canonical URL
This options defines how canonical URLs are enforced for guest users (including search engines).

If Standard is selected then guest users will be redirected to the correct URL if they request a page using the wrong Friendly URL format.

If Strict is selected then guest users will also be redirected to the correct URL if they request a page using the wrong text. This may also include requesting URLs in the wrong character set. = STRICT

Vbulletin -> Settings -> Friendly URLs

Would it also be handy to have the above stuff in the .htaccess file, or do you think that it is overkill (of a good policy to follow)?

The .htaccess is for Mod Rewrite Friendly URLs

07-29-2010 09:22 PM

I personally do not use htaccess unless i am rewrite urls ...example ..changed locations or names ... or ban ip's ...

I try to have a nice clean htaccess.

07-29-2010 11:45 PM

I left all the vBulletin -> Settings -> Friendly URLs settings at the default as I have no idea what a good set of group settings would be for that.
