Redefining the Impossible

Drupal Talk

Drupal Talk

Submitted by Peter on Mon Nov 15 2004 14:03 over 5 years ago

The good news: Drupal Talk is back on the front page of Drupal.org. It went away when they upgraded to Drupal 4.5.0 and a new theme. I used to get a lot of referrals from Drupal.org, I think by virtue of Drupal Talk. They've all disappeared now.

The bad news: searching the Drupal Forums gives this: 

The following list of sites is compiled dynamically. All Drupal installations may
optionally ping a Drupal directory server via XML-RPC. This server collects all
active installations and displays them here. More information is available on
this page in the Drupal handbook.

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: drupal_directory_page() in
/var/www/drupal.org/includes/common.inc(1809) : eval()'d code on line 2

My guess is someone has broken the forums, removed them from the Drupal front page and put Drupal Talk back in to fill the empty space.

Moral: Peter like Drupal Talk.

well, you scored again at drupal talk smile

I think its related to the server switch and it will be restored. In case this takes some time, please fill out a task for the website.

This is because when the load is high, certain modules and blocks are turned off on the server. Now that we have the new server, this probably won't be necessary anymore.

I wonder if it 'broke' when they changed the DNS settings and your server was unable to resolve the site. If so, then it should be working again. Right before they did the upgrade, the old server started getting hit harder, so the throttle kicked in and that removed Drupal talk from the front page.

The DNS resolved, it found the site and the forums, just the search button returned the message I listed. It looks like it's ok now.

Both the forum blocks and Drupal Talk are back so I'm happy.
