Anyone have any clues why my forum hangs when I enable 'Show Featured Poll'?
After a while it times out with:
quote:
Response object error 'ASP 0251 : 80004005'
Response Buffer Limit Exceeded
/testforum3/default.asp, line 0
Execution of the ASP page caused the Response Buffer to exceed its configured limit.
I've double checked all the coding. There are several other mods installed like Events Calendar and Split Topic.
TIA |

| Why do you think it's the poll mod? Strange error. Haven't seen it before. Could probably be a server issue. |

I don't, but it seems logical since it only hangs when I enable 'show featured poll'? Other than that everything seems to be working.
I've tried commenting out the poll include in default.asp but it still hangs. I have to log directly into the admin_login.asp to turn it off to get back in the forum.
PS The only real trouble I had with the poll mod install was in post.asp where you deleted a whole line 935 without mentioning it. I kept thinking my line 935 was from another mod, but eventually figured it out.
PPS My ASP for Dummies library book doesn't mention all these &_ things. It says the _ is a line continuation, but what is the &_ ? |

& is a string concatenator, _is a line-break continuation
so
"blah" &_
"blah"
is the same as "blahblah" |

Well, lacking any other clues, and seeing so many conflicts with the Events Calendar mod, I went ahead and double checked all those edits. All the Events Calendar edits are fine.
A lot of the searches I turned up ('poll'+'calendar') seem to have eventually solved their problems, but none say exactly how. Either they solved them in email or they poked around so much they don't really know what they did.
Anyhow, clearly the two mods _do_ work together, so I hope someone can throw me some kind of a bone. Where do I go from here? What files could possibly be causing a hang like this from default.asp? What should I be looking for?

Ok, you say it happens when you turn on the Featured Poll, correct? And you have selected a poll topic to be the featured poll also, correct?
Well, lets start with the default.asp page and move form there. Post a link to a txt version of your default.asp page.
Have you also tried creating a new poll and setting it as the featured poll and see if the error still comes back? Make it a simple poll.
Also try turning on the Featured Poll but don't set a poll as being featured.
let me know if the error comes back in each case. |

With Featured Poll: hang
Without FP: works
New Poll set to FP:hang
Checking another previous mod install, I see inc.header line 276 spell check gets awfully close to the Poll Mod code, but it looks okay.
All my ASP text files including default.asp are at http://www.shannondale.org/testforum3/asptext/default.txt .

Tony, I have gotten the same exact error when trying to archive older forum entries after compressing the database,
Response object error 'ASP 0251 : 80004005'
Response Buffer Limit Exceeded
/forums/admin_forums.asp, line 0
Execution of the ASP page caused the Response Buffer to exceed its configured limit.
Which is funny since there really is no line "0" in the admin_forums file. Anyway, did a search and while it wasnt related to archiving specifically, this was the only post I could find that showed the same error message:
http://forum.snitz.com/forum/topic.asp?ARCHIVE=true&TOPIC_ID=52027&SearchTerms=response buffer limit exceeded
In the responses there is this informational link to Fogbugs:
http://www.fogcreek.com/FogBUGZ/KB/errors/ResponseBufferLimitExceed.html
Which basically is showing the same error, This is something your host will have to change if it in fact is an IIS issue. The Metabase is a configuration of the IIS database, so to speak. In IIS 6.0, it is a XML configuration file that the host/provider can edit with Notepad or something similar. Double check the links I provided to see if it seems like you're having the same problem and if so, talk to your provider about it. I'm sure that there are others here with a better understanding of the actual IIS setup on the host servers. Hope this helps or at least can point you in the right direction. |

I compared your default.asp to mine, and it looks fine from here. I've got event cal mod too, but I also have PM mod. You seem to have active users mod installed as well, which I don't.
Also compare your inc_poll.asp file, and its virtually the same as mine.
Try disabling your calendar include and see if it makes a difference.

| Zaphod seems to be on the case there. But still not sure how the featured poll can cause the response.buffer to overflow. Maybe it's the way your host has setup the server to buffer certain files, that cause it overflow? Definetly check your host on the error and see if you can get it increased. If not, disabling it sound like another way to try. |

| Putting 'Response.buffer = false' above the includes has no effect. I'm not sure how to disable the calendar. I tried commenting out the <!--#INCLUDE FILE="cal_default.asp" --> in default.asp but that has no effect; the calendar still shows up. |

You would put Response.Buffer = false in the config.asp file. That's the file that is first called.
But have you checked your host about the error as yet? |

| Just for my own clarification, wouldn't another option be to add an occasional "Response.Flush" to send some of the data to the browser? |

Changing line 39 in config.asp from Response.Buffer = true to false results in immediate and consistent 'The HTTP headers are already written to the client browser.' errors. On every page.
Sticking in a Response.Flush every 100 lines (up to 500) shows partial results - I get the background image and the title image and the menu in the upper right before it hangs. If this is promising, any ideas where I can better put these?
I haven't asked my host tech support about it yet. I'm not sure exactly what to ask them.? As you said earlier, it's unlikely Poll Mod is really causing an overflow, and it's even more unlikely they're going to edit their server files just for me.

Tell them about the error you are getting with the forum. Don't mention about poll mod, etc. They won't know anything about it. Tell them you researched the error and it seems a possible solution would be to increase the buffer size for the site. You could also mention that you contacted the forum developers and they are also stumped on the problem and suggested to talk to the hosting provider. |

Ha. You were right; tech support diddled with the IIS settings and we have a page! After 1:40 anyway. :)
Oh wait. It's still loading. And loading. And loading.
