Occasionally, messages will get lost. Sometimes they display a few seconds later, and sometimes all messages stop displaying. I have even had it where a message I send will appear out of order (i.e. the message appears as the most recent message after I have sent 2 newer message).
Sometimes it happens with as few as 2-3 users in the room so the room should be overwhelmed. I have tried, using the filesystem, using /dev/shm/cos_chat, and last night I switched to MySQL for the backend. A helpful user posted a bunch of test messages and found this problem persists even with the database container.
What can I change to make this work better?
This is difficult to reproduce. But it has happened enough times to various users -- and even myself a few times -- that we need to address it.
PFC Version: 1.2

Shared or Dedicated Hosting: Shared
Link to your website: http://features.coinopspace.com/test/?test=PFCsite+Tester *
* Code is identical, except for the authorization code, as the main chat requires
you to be a registered member of CoinOpSpace.com. That, and debug is enabled.
Are you able to reproduce the issue on the official demo (http://www.phpfreechat.net/demo)?
Not after 2 minutes of testing... but as I said it is hard to reproduce on my server.
Have you set any parameters? If so, please include your code.
- Code: Select all
$params["title"] = "CoinOpSpace.com Chat";
$params["channels"] = array('Chat');
$params["skip_proxies"] = array('noflood','log');
$params["post_proxies"] = array('egglog');
$params['proxies_cfg']['censor']['words'] = array('badword1','badword2','etc.');
$params["theme"] = 'coinopspace';
$params["shownotice"] = 3;
$params['proxies_cfg']['egglog']['path'] = dirname(__FILE__).'/data/private/logs/';
$params["debug"] = true;
What is the issue you are experiencing in detail?
See description above.
Are you seeing any error messages, such as javascript errors?
No.
It got me thinking about all of the customizations I made to the code. The one thing I added, that I didn't think would cause a problem... turned out to be the problem.
