Error while posting long post or editing posts

Post by Ezrael »

Idk if it’s related to your last update but I can’t post long articles anymore or edit my posts. It shows the message below on my phone or start to download the posting.php on my desktop computer.

Code: Select all

 <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN">
<html><head>
<title>503 Service Unavailable</title>
</head><body>
<h1>Service Unavailable</h1>
<p>The server is temporarily unable to service your
request due to maintenance downtime or capacity
problems. Please try again later.</p>
</body></html>

Probably it is strictly a problem of phpBB if you get this into phpBB, or WordPress if it is a WP post and
not a plugin issue but a server issue.
Anyway can you exactly explain what you do and where? Doing or editing a post in phpBB or WP?
Do you lately changed something into your server configuration?

The issue is really strange. When I edit longer posts or even try to copy paste them in a new topic, while hitting the submit button the browsers downloads the posting.php instead of posting the edited text or open the new topic.

At first I suspected the upgrade to phpbb 3.3.15 but the downgrade didn't solve the issue.

Than I downgraded to your plugin version 2.9.3 which doesnt effect the issue as well.

./posting.php?mode=edit&p=37
it is the normal flow of phpBB, it change the mode to edit or post if the post is a new post or an edited post
./posting.php?mode=post&f=2

the thing as you report it at moment make me think to a server problem, anyway:
when it happen, the browser wait long loading and loading then fail or fail immediately on submit?

ps and for long text how much do you mean? like this?

Its related to links: like https://, https:// or www.

as soon as the post has them inside, it can't be edited or changed or reposted as new topic with the same content. Thats super strange behaviour.

I still dont know whats causing the issue but it think its not related to your plugin. I restored an old backup from the beginning of April and it has the same issues.
