Wierd footer problem

Hi!

I am having a wierd problem. I will describe the symptoms.

I use a tabbed browser. In one tab, I open the site. When I do, the footer is all in the left hand column. If I open another tab and got to cadmin and edit a template - *any* - template, and save it, if I go back to the first tab and hit refresh - the footer is where it belongs. When I log out of the admin panel, the problem returns when I refresh the page.

This problem happens if using two different browsers too.

I've looked through the templates - very few have changed - and everything seems fine. I'm stumped ...

Any ideas?

Thanks!
Brett

You're right - the front page has a lot of stuff. The files-only option is working fine so I'll stick with that for now!

Thank you!

I assume your front page had lot of content? In this case altering the cache_data field (esselbach_st_cache) from text to mediumtext should fix this problem. This change is also included in the upcoming version 1.8.3.

However, I highly suggest staying with the "file cache only" option.

That fixes things - caching with files only.

So that means its a caching with MySQL problem.

Files-only is the recommended method for most configurations. Only Windows Server performs better with the MySQL database method.

MySQL database. MySQL 4.1.20 w/InnoDB

I'll switch to the files-only method and see if that fixes things and report back

Which cache method are you using?

You're on to something!

It fixes the problem completely .....

Unfortunately, it's a high-traffic site.

So what's next?

Thanks!

That’s odd. Perhaps it is related to the caching system? Each time you edit a template the cache will be automatically cleared.

What happens if you turning the caching system off?

I also put back the original site-header and site-footer, but still get the same problem.

Hi Philipp!

Firefox 1.0.6, Konqueror 3.2.1, Internet Explorer 6.0.2800.1106 and Seamonkey, but I dunno what version.

Here's the interesting thing. I can fire up browsers on two different computers, one running Windows and the other running Linux; and get the exact same symptom. If I edit and save a template on the Linux box, then the page looks fine on the Windows box. When I log out of the admin panel on the Linux box, the problem returns on the Windows box.

So it's not just in tabbed browsers - it's a problem that all site visitors see unless I just happen to be logged into the admin panel after saving a template.

(*scratching head*)
