The RSS feed is down

Post by Anthony »

For the few of you who utilize this feature - the feed is down (the thing that lets us show "Latest Forum Posts" in the left column there as well as some other tircks), and an hour of troubleshooting has not done the trick. I think something in a recent post is choking the the parser. I am hoping it corrects itself after enough new posts.

Yes it is thank goodness! For geeks who may want more information (this is from my host, Rackspace):

The issue here is that MySQL was using /tmp for its temporary directory, but this directory is completely full with the PHP error log.

/tmp needs to have space available for many reasons, lots of programs use it for lock files and temporary data. I have disabled error logging in /etc/php.ini (log_errors = Off). If you wish to log errors, you should do so to somewhere in /var/log and not /tmp. I have also configured MySQL to use its own temporary directory in /etc/my.cnf:

tmpdir=/var/lib/mysqltmp

This will give MySQL much more room to use temporary tables on disk.
