OT: Weird error at the top of the page...

JohnL · November 10, 2003, 10:19:15 PM

Anyone else seeing an error message at the top of all the pages on this site?

At the top of the main page it has;

Warning: main(): stream does not support seeking in /home/fenris/public_html/index.html on line 1

At the top of all the phorum pages it has;

Warning: main(): stream does not support seeking in /home/fenris/public_html/bbs/include/header.php on line 12

I noticed it too and was wondering what it meant.

At least it doesn't say. "Your P.C. is set for detonation. You now have 1 minute to reach minimum safe distance."

It looks like either a coding error, or else the webserver folks need to upgrade their version of php. There's also the same error message down below, right above the navigator. At least it show up in Mozilla 1.x

As long as it doesn't say "Danger, Will Robinson!" we should be safe.

I went to the Howling III review and these three were at the top:

Warning: main(): stream does not support seeking in /home/fenris/public_html/movies/howlingiii/index.html on line 3

Warning: review(): stream does not support seeking in http://www.badmovies.org/phpfiles/reviewslayout.inc on line 3

Warning: review(): stream does not support seeking in http://www.badmovies.org/phpfiles/reviewslayout.inc on line

WTF!????

Actually they mean the invasion is to start in three days.

I get that error at the top of every page on the site. I though it was just my computer goofing up, but I'm on a different machine now and obviously everyone else is seeing it too.

My hosting company upgraded their version of PHP. Unfortunately, there is a bug in the latest version, which is what you are seeing here. I let them know about the problem already and they are working on it, but no resolution yet. From what I understand, they have to add 2 lines of code, then recompile PHP and the problem should go away.

No problem. I just figured I'd mention it.

Ok, I was officially tired of it and I had given them about 24 hours to fix the issue. I didn't fix it (I don't have time to do a recompile and everything), but I suppressed the warning message. Nothing is really broken anyway, it is just a spurious error message. Anyway - for all purposes, it is fixed.

Ugh, my whole life is a matter of trying to find enough time right now.
