after all the work... BETA TIME!!!

What do you think?

btw, for virtual pet list members-

The number of posts you make on Lodithia Forums / 2 = free RBC you get. as long as it's not like... spam or stupid. xD .. for the weekend, Saturday and Sunday

but remember to post here at the end of the weekend how many posts you made, and i'll award as promised

[Sar]

Now to play the guessing game again...Hmm.

[Viral]

I had to trundicate the user table, just so you know. Sign up with a new account.

Why? There was a security problem. Register was posting passwords w/o encrypting them, and obviously that's a problem. So we redid register and dropped the user table. It's all good now. Everything in the site is to stay!

[Sar]

I see. Well I've created a new account then.

[Haywire]

Oh come on, that could have been easily fixed.


<?php

function exec1($query) {
$query = mysql_query($query);
mysql_free_result($query);
return $query;
}

$query = @mysql_query("SELECT password,username FROM user");
while ($info = mysql_fetch_assoc($query)) {
$password = sha1(base64_encode($info[password]));
exec1("UPDATE user SET password='$password' WHERE username={$query[username]}");

?>


Note, the above is basic, I am sure you could be imaginitive and create something better.

[Viral]

I wish someone told me that before.

Haywire, I don't know programming. xD

[cpvr]

Do you see the mysql errors on the index?

[dc277]

Cpvr where are the errors? What do they say? I'll try to fix them.

[shadowpwner]

Do you see the mysql errors on the index?

top of the page, in black.

Also, when visiting http://www.lodithia.com/upgrade.php without logging in, you get the community menu twice.

[dc277]

There, the error shouldn't appear anymore.

And the Double Layout should be fixed, if you have anymore problems, please tell me.

[Viral]

DC is awesome xD
But you enabled the revents too quickly... I had turned them off until I could assess how much they would give out XD Oh well, fixed now.

[Yuko]

When I log in I get a blank page... XD And then I click go again and it takes me to the login place for the second time, asking for my PIN... which I never set. @_@;

A blank page there means you didn't put something in right...

[Yuko]

Well, I log in on the main page where it asks you for your pass and username, which I know are right. XD I get a blank page...

Then I get a page after the blank one with username, pass, and PIN. I never set my PIN cause I didn't know how. @_@;; I joined back in October 16th.

[Chevy]

looks like a mutation of Sorpets and that Shiurea or whatever it is called xP

The user table has been deleted (again). Make a new account.

Brandon redid registration to fix some security problems.

Mind asking him if he can do a "bad password/PIN inserted" page?

I just sold the forums to them thats all.

[juddster]

question...is there supposed to be varying font styles on the Art Contest page? And I noticed how some pages stretch the white space...would it be possible to keep this consistent? oh ya...and avatar links brings you back to user home page...as expected?

~juddster

[Yuko]

Thanks! I remade my account. ^-^

I seriously can NOT decide between the Orel and Leir.. @@;

[Viral]

I think all the fonts on Art Contest are verdana, just a different size. Or take a screenshot from your end?

And yeah, it does stretch at times. =X Gotta fix that.

[juddster]

sorry it is on the art boards page...not art contest

Join our community of 70 awesome users, who have 80 creatures!
Why does it say awesome? :)

[juddster]

cuz we are awesome:D...I know I am:D

~juddster

[Viral]

'Cause they're awesome. Users is what makes a site alive :D

[juddster]

I am finding lots of little bugs...message me onsite (juddster)

[Viral]

Have done. I got your bug reports from Contact Us, but Brandon's busy right now. XD

[Tama]

Out of curiosity, are there going to be more pet choices in the future?

[cpvr]

Service Temporarily Unavailable

The server is temporarily unable to service your request due to maintenance downtime or capacity problems. Please try again later. Apache/1.3.37 Ben-SSL/1.57 Server at www.lodithia.com Port 80

[dc277]

We are trying to figure out what is going wrong.

Viral contacted the host, but they said it has to do with the ISP and it's client side.

But obviously they are wrong.

[Viral]

Out of curiosity, are there going to be more pet choices in the future?

Oh yes. I hope to add 1-2 new pets onto each order, along with buying mutations.

[jlp09550]

The shared server Lodithia is overloaded. The host prolly took the site down.

[Viral]

It's not, though. The other three sites on my account are working fine. o.0

[jlp09550]

That's because the site has been what I call "nulled". That means no traffic can get to your site. Told ya a dedicated would of been better. :)

Also- mod_security, which seems to be installed, would also cause this error. It prevents too many requests from coming in and automatically blocks site for an hour the first time and forever the next when the max amount of requests have gone through.

(and I know I will be challenged by a server admin for saying this stuff)

[Viral]

Null a directory?

They're all on the same thing.

E.G.:

mysite.com/lodithia/
mysite.com/regnum/
mysite.com/business/

etc.

I did get a message back from my host. They said that if I had the problem again they'd look into it. That was 30 min ago <<

[jlp09550]

No, it nulled the domain name, not the directory.

Hosts aren't as reliable as you think. ;)

[juddster]

Have done. I got your bug reports from Contact Us, but Brandon's busy right now. XD

yup...it may be easier to explain over msn tho

[cpvr]

We are trying to figure out what is going wrong.

Viral contacted the host, but they said it has to do with the ISP and it's client side.

But obviously they are wrong.It's not client side. They suspended the account more than likely - and put that message up instead.

[Viral]

We figured out the problem and are assessing it. Lodi should be fine after I get the domains switched. It didn't get any reasonable amount of bandwith as an addon, so I have to make it my main.

[OwlManAtt]

Viral contacted the host, but they said it has to do with the ISP and it's client side.My client doesn't give 503 errors. If they are trying to tell you that a 503 is a problem with my ISP, they are defrauding you - as defined by RFC 2616, 5xx codes indicate a *server* error to be sent when the server is unable to fulfill a valid request.

I suggest you ask to speak with that individual's manager, because they are *not* qualified to be doing support for a webhosting provider if they don't know that.

Depending on what is causing the error, the Apache error log may have details on *why* it's giving 503s. I know the error log is available through cPanel, if your host has that set up. If not, you may have to poke around for logfiles.

[Viral]

It turns out lodithia is an addon, and they only allow 250 meg/day for addons (bandwith). I'm switching it to my main (10 gig a day). If there's still a problem with lodi eating too much bandwith, i'll start seeking out a VPS.

What do you guys think? Is 10 gig/day ample?

There is really no way to use that much. Unless you have heavy images (very big sizes) then you would. But no, there is no way to use that much. It's not possible for such a small site.

[Viral]

Whew, I'm glad to hear that. That said, Lodi should be okay from now on. I'm backing everything up, then it's going to do a server swap. When the server swap occurs, we'll be in smooth waters again :D

[Shiresu Riku]

I switched Shiresu to 20 gb :P It was eating a lot, so I figured upgrade now while cost is low.

[cpvr]

I switched Shiresu to 20 gb :P It was eating a lot, so I figured upgrade now while cost is low.That's not enough once your pet site gets bigger. You might be fine for now though.

[shadowpwner]

What features does Lodithia have that other virtual pet sites don't?

[Viral]

- Art boards
- An ongoing online story (what happens in the story affects the site worlds)
- flash games (if we're talking about other developing VPS's)

upcoming:
- a R-L worlds system (instead of like... static random planets/continents)

[Leafheart]

Ahaha...doesn't work x.x server out of service

[jlp09550]

Just a note to all of you-- the DNS servers Lodithia is on at the moment are not cooperating and will not update their records.

Therefore, we have a pickle. :S

[Viral]

Stupid Namecheap. :P

[jlp09550]

I know. Huh? :P
I'm speaking with a support person with Namecheap.. they are looking into it.

[juddster]

I found lots more problems but when I go to try to submit it it says 'Unauthorized referrer'...

~juddster

[Viral]

Yikes. It's probably because it was a code from the old host. I'll look into a new one. ^^

[jlp09550]

Looks like the new server is handling Lodithia quite well. :)

[Viral]

It does in fact look that way :)

[cpvr]

Join our community of 175 awesome users, who have 205 creatures!Looks like Lodithia is doing well. When will beta end?

[Sar]

Looks like Lodithia is doing well. When will beta end?

Probably when all the bugs are repaired.

[Viral]

Myself, DC, and DC's friend will probably be working on the site for a while. Beta won't end until all the new features are installed. :)

[cpvr]

Are accounts going to be deleted once beta is over?

[Viral]

Nope. They're all there to stay.

[Sar]

Lodithia seems to be down for me.

[Viral]

Chibipaws is down, too. Ugh. *kicks random object* XD
I'll ask Jared.

[Sar]

Well not a good idea to have Chibipaws and Lodithia on the same cluster, aye?

[jlp09550]

Well not a good idea to have Chibipaws and Lodithia on the same cluster, aye?
It isn't bad for the two on the same. Seems we had an attack, though, and it brought the PHP process down. :S
.. because HTML pages work fine.

[dc277]

I guess I'll have to wait before working again.

[jlp09550]

I guess I'll have to wait before working again.
They sent a tech to the data center for find out what's wrong and reboot the server.
I'll check the logs to find out what happened. :)

Sorry for the downtime.

It just HAD to be the day I go back to school. x.x'

[Sar]

Well hopefully it'll be straightened out.

Sar wants to comment that drama pulling in reality is simply annoying, reserve it for the General Chat.

[jlp09550]

Yeah, but the reboot didn't help. Somehow, the"network interfaces", otherwise known as the IPs, deactivated themselves and the tech is having problems getting them back on.

Did you call them up? Try calling them - maybe they'll get it up faster.

Well, if live chat fails, then I will.
