[Nelfo]

understandable

I prefer to stay with PFC as is stores messatges in text files instead of loading it from MySQL.

I'm fairly certain that this is a server side issue of some kind.

I have two different hosts I use for different applications. To make a long story short, I only ever see this issue on one of the hosts. Now that's not completely conclusive, because there's a lot of other factors that could be causing one to have it and the other to not, but it would be a starting place for looking into it.

[bertran]

Interesting, what information do you need from server to check that?

[OldWolf]

I have no idea, as I'm not really sure what's causing the problem. :/

[Nelfo]

I'm wondering if someone working on the PFC project is interested in finding out some answers to this problem.

[shini]

Me too!

...and I'm not so sure it's a server side problem... On the same server, people have timeout problems, and some don't...

[TheBrainless]

It looks like a pfc-problem, because up to beta 11 it worked really fine and since v1.0 I also get the error... very weird...

[shini]

still no news... i had to remove phpfreechat from my server... it suxx.

[phpfreechat]

First of all, I'm sorry concerning the delay but I have a lot of things to do in my personal life these weeks...

The first request send by the chat returned "pfc.handleResponse('update', 'ok', '');", but all the follwing requests returned a huge pack of data, in fact, the cache of the whole webpage...

Is it normal?

Not at all.

Could you try to check the content of the POST on each AJAX requests ?
It should be something like that :
pfc_ajax=1&f=handleRequest&cmd=%2Fupdate
I have fear of the POST content is lost on some servers (but why?) ...

To confirm this, could you try this little patch :

Code: Select all

@kerphi
we having problem, with the timeout. its a bug that you must fix. this is a BIG PROBLEM, my user's cannot type in the chatroom, because they are idle in the long period of time (ex 1-2 minutes or so)

why is this happening? my user's getting mad because their in a BRB mode, when they come back, they are kicked out.

please FIX this BUG

Having identical issues during the testing... Both line and server are very fast, setting timouts = timeout*3 etc.
system-ping time is < 30-40 ms

Does not make a lot of difference to the problem.

Looks like the handshaking has to be more robust AND must have some retries before fatal timeout.

Happy to test for you if you have newer versions.

[phpfreechat]

Yes I have a newer version ... please look above: http://www.phpfreechat.net/forum/viewto ... 9625#p9625
