What means the following php alert/error?

Hi, please could you tell me more about it ;-) even if you don't know how to fix it

on a fresh install 2.1beta2 (default theme), sometime, probably when I go into the dashboard, then I encounter the following log...

14 Nov 2013 - 17:48:42 mysubdomain.mywebsite.net Garden Exception: Operation timed out after 1000 milliseconds with 30114 bytes received in /home/.../vanilla-2.1b2/library/core/functions.general.php on 2303
14 Nov 2013 - 17:48:42 mysubdomain.mywebsite.net Garden #0 /home/.../vanilla-2.1b2/applications/dashboard/controllers/class.utilitycontroller.php(444): ProxyRequest('http://vanillaf...')
14 Nov 2013 - 17:48:42 mysubdomain.mywebsite.net Garden #1 [internal function]: UtilityController->UpdateProxy()
14 Nov 2013 - 17:48:42 mysubdomain.mywebsite.net Garden #2 /home/.../vanilla-2.1b2/library/core/class.dispatcher.php(350): call_user_func_array(Array, Array)
14 Nov 2013 - 17:48:42 mysubdomain.mywebsite.net Garden #3 /home/.../vanilla-2.1b2/index.php(46): Gdn_Dispatcher->Dispatch()
14 Nov 2013 - 17:48:42 mysubdomain.mywebsite.net Garden #4 {main}

I 've checked this files: functions.general.php (2303, it's related to curl, around it) and class.utilitycontroller.php (444, it's writted ProxyRequest UpdateCheckUrl here)

Voila ;-) I could tell you more about my server's php config'.. etc but I don't know what it's needed in fact

PHP 5.3.27, curl 7.24 should be enable on my webhosting

Many thanks in advance

    @Pamela it looks like your timing out when trying to access http://vanillaforums.org/addons/update to check for updates

    you could Also try increasing timeouts in proxy if it always times out.

      /**
        * Because you cannot send xmlhttprequests across domains, we need to use
        * a proxy to check for updates.
        *
        * @since 2.0.?
        * @access public
        */
    
    

    it looks like trying to get to update addons page related

    http://vanillaforums.org/addons/update and times out.


    you could probably put a config in config.php to change behavior. (but you probably don't want to or need to).

    [Garden][UpdateCheckUrl]

    I may not provide the completed solution you might desire, but I do try to provide honest suggestions to help you solve your issue.

  • perhaps one of your plugins is using

    $this->FireEvent('BeforeControllerMethod'); to check for updates.

  • Well, thank you @peregrine but do you know if there is a way to disable this update ?

    I 've tried to add it in conf/config.php
    $Configuration['Garden']['UpdateCheckUrl'] = 'http://example.net/fake_update/';

    Of course, it can't work but this alert (above) doesn't seem recorded for now...

    May be, we could use something like the following parameter ;-) isn't ?
    $Configuration['Garden']['Update'] = FALSE;

    the other thing you could do is remove the

    $Configuration['Garden']['UpdateCheckUrl'] = 'http://example.net/fake_update/';

    and try

    $Configuration['Garden']['SocketTimeout'] = 2;

    theoretically it will change timeout from 1 second that you had 1000 milliseconds

    to 2000 milliseconds.

    you could experiment increasing to 5 or 6. i don't know how hight you want to push it, if the curl set opt actually reacts to the timeout as it should.

    maybe thats all you need.

    I may not provide the completed solution you might desire, but I do try to provide honest suggestions to help you solve your issue.

  • yep, it seems better than my quick and dirty way ;) I 'll try it, thanks @peregrine

  • Ok, done your suggestion @peregrine, then I 'll keep an eye on my log file and ;-) I 'll give to you feedback soon, next week
