estan Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 (edited) Hi guys, I'm still with IPS 4.3.3 and finally planning to upgrade soon to the latest version. I'm using a dedicated server. And I try to clean a bit stuff on the server before doing the upgrade. And I noticed something weird. That is why I need your help guys! I noticed that the uploads/logs folder on the server is 24GB large! I have no idea why. It has 2700+ files. And many of them are 25+ MB each. Here it is a list of the files generated today and yesterday: Today 2021_10_08_javascript.php - 53KB 2021_10_08_uncaught_exception.php - 28MB ! 2021_10_08_dispatcher.php - 2kb Yesterday 2021_10_07_uncaught_exception.php - 14MB 2021_10_07_topic_call.php - 1kb And so on, basically every day there is a large uncaught_exception file generated with a size between 185MB and 5MB. How can I get rid of these files? Anything I can do in the IPS admin panel? Or can I just delete all these exception files + others directly from the server? Please advise!

Mark H Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 Yes, you can safely delete the contents of that folder. But the underlying issue is the number and size of those logs, and what is causing them. From what you've described it sounds as though you may have a problem that isn't readily apparent. Can you provide one or two entries from one of those logs (with any sensitive info redacted) if you don't recognize the cause of that error?

estan Posted October 8, 2021 Author Share Posted October 8, 2021 Thank you very much for letting me know @Mark H! It is helpful to know that I can delete all the content of the folder fully. Here are some entries in one of the exception files: 2021_10_07_uncaught_exception.php Any further advice here?

Ryan Ashbrook Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 Those would be errors you would need to contact your host about. Particularly, these: Too many connections (1040) MySQL server has gone away (2006) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
estan Posted October 8, 2021 Author Share Posted October 8, 2021 Well, this is a old Debian 7.11 dedicated server with PHP 5.6 and MySQL 5.6. I plan to move now to a new modern VPS server. Any recommendations for how to do the move?; Should I upgrade first PHP + MySQL (and if so to which versions?) and upgrade IPS to latest stable version and then move to the VPS? OR Move to the VPS first and then upgrade? Any other recommendations? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy Calvert Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 This post was recognized by Mark H! "Thanks for the detailed reply." Randy Calvert was awarded the badge 'Helpful' IPS\Db\Exception: Too many connections (1040) If this is a server you have root level access to and you're server is not maxing CPU/memory usage, you can increase the limit. https://ubiq.co/database-blog/how-to-increase-max-connections-in-mysql/ The above URL has a mySQL command you can run to temporarily increase the limit, and editing the .my.cnf file will be the permanent fix. In terms of your plan to move to a new server... BEFORE you move, make sure the new server is fully up to date. Get everything installed/configured correctly. Make sure the new server has all of the dependancies you need. You can use the following script to make sure your new server has all of the required components installed. Once the new server is ready, copy the entire file structure (typically under /public_html) to the new server. Export your database from the old host and import it. Make sure you have a mySQL user created and that it has permission to access the new database. Then edit conf_global.php to change any system paths or database username/passwords. Once that's done, you might want to test everything before pointing live users to the new server. The following URL has info on how to edit your OS's host file to manually point YOUR DNS to the new server without effecting anyone else: https://kb.leaseweb.com/products/hosting/web-hosting/adding-a-website-to-hosts-file-and-testing-it Finally once tested, remove the host file entry and point live DNS to the new host.
