R8333 - Unable to set host location (location plugin)

[MRCUR]

@Tom-Elliott This appears to affect anything on the host page actually. Trying to change an image results in the same 500 error. Everything appears to be set appropriate if registering the host for the first time (although still very slow).

[Tom Elliott]

@MRCUR Try this please:

rm -rf /var/www/fog /var/www/html/fog
rm -rf /home/*.BACKUP

Rerun installer.

[MRCUR]

@Tom-Elliott Do you want me to download the latest version before reinstalling?

[Tom Elliott]

@MRCUR Yes please.

[MRCUR]

@Tom-Elliott I can now successfully change the host location/image/etc. through the UI. Any idea why changing anything on the “General” page would take upwards of 30 seconds (other tabs are fine)? Server load is 0.8/0.9/0.5.

[Tom Elliott]

@MRCUR I don’t know why. Just a guess, but maybe there’s a ton of images in your environment?

[MRCUR]

@Tom-Elliott Yeah, 52 images. Does it have to loop through them all?

[Tom Elliott]

@MRCUR Kind of, yes, but no. I’ll see if I can speed up some of the select menus.

[MRCUR]

@Tom-Elliott Okay cool.

It is randomly throwing 500 errors again, but it seems to make the change anyway. Seems about 50/50 whether or not it refreshes & updates without an error vs doing so with an error.

@Tom-Elliott Apache error log entries (different from this morning):

[Tom Elliott]

@MRCUR would you mind doing a full reboot to your server?

[MRCUR]

@Tom-Elliott Rebooted, same issue.

[Tom Elliott]

Possibly.

[Tom Elliott]

@Tom-Elliott I wanted to note that we got this working last night but have hit another issue. @MRCUR ive not forgotten or anything just had a busy day. You know I’ll try to make this all work for you and others.

@MRCUR said in R8333 - Unable to set host location (location plugin):

PHP Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 1073741824 bytes exhausted

That tells me you need to up your memory limit. Instructions are here:

[MRCUR]

@Wayne-Workman That error only occurs if I try to do a host change immediately after a server restart. It does not occur any other time.

@Tom-Elliott No problem Tom. I appreciate your help last night. Lots of imaging was able to be done today since groups was working again. We can work on this again next week.

[Wayne Workman]

@MRCUR Still… you’re hitting a memory limit sometimes which means your very close to the limit. Also your web interface will be much more fluid if you up the memory limit.

[MRCUR]

@Wayne-Workman Fair point - I upped it to 2048 (was at 1024, server has a ton of RAM).

[Tom Elliott]

@Wayne-Workman Memory, no more, is the issue.

[Wayne Workman]

@Tom-Elliott good to hear - but some people have large fog systems.
