Wierd footer problem Hi! I am having a wierd problem. I will describe the symptoms. I use a tabbed browser. In one tab, I open the site. When I do, the footer is all in the left hand column. If I open another tab and got to cadmin and edit a template - *any* - template, and save it, if I go back to the first tab and hit refresh - the footer is where it belongs. When I log out of the admin panel, the problem returns when I refresh the page. This problem happens if using two different browsers too. I've looked through the templates - very few have changed - and everything seems fine. I'm stumped ... Any ideas? Thanks! Brett
Wierd footer problem Hi Philipp! Firefox 1.0.6, Konqueror 3.2.1, Internet Explorer 6.0.2800.1106 and Seamonkey, but I dunno what version. Here's the interesting thing. I can fire up browsers on two different computers, one running Windows and the other running Linux; and get the exact same symptom. If I edit and save a template on the Linux box, then the page looks fine on the Windows box. When I log out of the admin panel on the Linux box, the problem returns on the Windows box. So it's not just in tabbed browsers - it's a problem that all site visitors see unless I just happen to be logged into the admin panel after saving a template. (*scratching head*)
Wierd footer problem I also put back the original site-header and site-footer, but still get the same problem.
Wierd footer problem That’s odd. Perhaps it is related to the caching system? Each time you edit a template the cache will be automatically cleared. What happens if you turning the caching system off?
Wierd footer problem You're on to something! It fixes the problem completely ..... Unfortunately, it's a high-traffic site. So what's next? Thanks! Brett
Wierd footer problem MySQL database. MySQL 4.1.20 w/InnoDB I'll switch to the files-only method and see if that fixes things and report back
Wierd footer problem Files-only is the recommended method for most configurations. Only Windows Server performs better with the MySQL database method.
Wierd footer problem That fixes things - caching with files only. So that means its a caching with MySQL problem.
Wierd footer problem I assume your front page had lot of content? In this case altering the cache_data field (esselbach_st_cache) from text to mediumtext should fix this problem. This change is also included in the upcoming version 1.8.3. However, I highly suggest staying with the "file cache only" option.
Wierd footer problem You're right - the front page has a lot of stuff. The files-only option is working fine so I'll stick with that for now! Thank you!
