...in case someone else do stupid stuff like I did, this is what caused the issue 😄

This was caused by the RECOVERY_MODE constant being set incorrectly. Removed that from constants.php and everything is working 🙂 

Are you serious now? this is embarrassing .·´¯`(>▂<)´¯`·.  thank you so much for the help - you guys 🤩

Sorry, that was auto correct. Disable and re-enable the Pages app on the applications page 

That I have done several times, and when I have I have also cleared the system caches. You mention that I might have deleted the hooks.php file(?) that file is populated and "active" in the /plugins/ folder and looks like this:

Disable and rename the pages app to regenerate it 

...and where exactly do I rename the pages app? in applications\cms\modules\admin folder?

When I try to +CREATE a db It just adds these menu's - Menu_CMS_database 5 and 6

Hi there folks. 

Im running Invision Community v4.7.14

Lately, I have been encountering an EX0 error while trying to access the Articles section of my website. This error appears on both the front-end menu and the PAGES menu items in the ACP. As soon as I enter the Content Databases, the EX0 error message appears, affecting all underlying tabs related to Articles. However, the "Page Management" menu seems unaffected.

I have installed some opentype plugins, namely SuperTopics, Pages SuperGallery, SuperGrid, and Sticky Contact Us Button. These plugins seem to have stopped working or at least affected by the error.

I have tried disabling all customization and clearing system caches, but it did not resolve the issue. I have also attempted to uninstall and reinstall the plugins but to no avail. I need some help with this folks.

Update!

I have found the problem and solved it. 

It was a feature in CloudFlare that apparently conflicted with the API-call settings -- "Super Bot Fight Mode" was enabled and set to: Definitely automated (definitely automated traffic typically consists of bad bots) 

Selected action for this traffic was set to BLOCK. (mistakingly) blocking the access to /api MENU page.

NB!!!  In case you get any of these support requests in the future.

- WAF rules do not override the settings of the Bot Fight Mode, so if you whitelist i.e. Hosting IP or URL/FULL URL it still get's blocked. 

- This feature does not get disabled when "Pause Cloudflare on Site" under Advanced Settings is enabled either.

Is there by any chance that the API functionality are contacting Invision servers for some sort of verification?

Thank you for replying.

According to our check, both mod_setenvif and mod_rewrite are installed and active on the server in question.

To ensure the proper quality of the investigation, we will need to trigger the error (or the absence of certain elements on a page that should be enabled by the functionality that should be implemented).

For us to do that, please describe the actions it takes to see the consequences of unfunctional modules you try to implement in a list format.

If any login procedures and/or credentials are involved in the process, please share the information.......

...I wish there was an GRTFM option to this.

Downloaded the htaccess file, uploaded it to /api folder and renamed it .htaccess - logging into my ACP and hit continue = nada!

Loging out 

...cleaning cookies, browser cache and disable cloudflare. 

Loging in and clearing system caches

Changed the premissions on the API .htaccess file from 644 to 775 - hitting Continue = nothing

Disable root .htaccess and push Continue = nope!

Cheking init.php and the API settings showing me the obvious  'NEXUS_LKEY_API_DISABLE'  => TRUE, 

Manually edit from TRUE to FALSE 

// Commerce license key API settings

I did got the API menu (forgot to screenshot it) and could brows the tabs but as soon as I hit Continue it went back to the "default" screen as seen below.

...help!

What you and Makoto describes is exactely what a 429 error means and what a proxy does when it ratelimit's your IP. It's all about you triggering the Proxys "Maximum Connections". I would have asked the hosting provider to whitelist the IP and then go bug-hunting. 

Hi, 
 
It's not the script or any part of the script that throws a 429 error. Take a look at the server log in your Cpanel, you will see that nothing on your behalf is near overloading the server. 

It is most likely than not that your hosting provider uses a proxy - resulting you getting ratelimited - get them to whitelist your IP address.

NB! IF you don't got any static IP from your ISP (just a dynamic one) and they whitelist your IP -AND- at somepoint you get a new IP you will get the same 429 error all over again.  

You should also considder:
- change the current admin URL, to avoid being rate limited.
- get a static IP from your ISP or use a VPN service 
- upgrade to VPS  to have no restrictions.

Hi there,

 I'm setting up some commission products under Commerce. I added a main product "animation" and wanted to use the "custom fields" to add "extra options" for the customer to choose from -or- add to the main product before checkout.

Now, the part on adding "custom fields" and linking them to the main product under "Stock & Price Adjustments" wasn't a problem. I ticked off the "Use different stock levels and prices depending on custom field values" and added the price to each "extra option" and saved it. So when I tried it the price adjusted as intended (see pics) "No Extras = Animation 1200 // Gore +300 = Animation 1200 + Gore 300 =1500) but the PROBLEM is....

...that I can only use the "select" and/or "radio" alternatives under "Field Type" to make IPB happy, and not the "checkbox set" to make ME happy. You see, I want my customers to make multiple choices and not "single" choices and that I can't figure out how to do, IF there is such an  option? 

I have tried different approaches but with no luck. Is there an workaround here or do I have to make multiply products and the "Association" option?

Problem solved:

Seems like som caching problems with cloudflare. Turned on Development mode // Purge all cached files and hard reloaded the current page/browser cache (Ctrl+F5) = fixed

Have you tried disabling your third party resources (apps and plugins) then clearing the system cache in the support section of the ACP?

Jepp, tried that too, but no luck.

Click on reset default config.  It will mean you have to fix any extra buttons you've added or rearranged.  

I've had that happen a few times with custom third party buttons that went wonky eventually.  

...my bad, I dind't mention that I have tried that too. 

I have also made a backup of my "prod" ckeditor and replaced the ckeditor dir with my staging copy that works as it should, but with no luck. Ther must be somewhere else that the problem occurs. 

Hello there...

- I just experienced that my CKeditor just died at the production site in the ACP and at the front end  - it works at my staging site where I do my testing - and I just can't figure out why. I have tried to compare the config files but they are basically the same as far as I can see. 

Somebody got a clue about whats happening here?  

Hi MattEngland2022, 

You don't by any chance got  directory privacy//protection or htpasswd with user/pass enabled on your domain/subdomain? In case you have, you must either turn this off or add an allowance to the main .htacces file. I had the same trouble as you with enabling API on my staging domain until I added "Allow from xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx" insert server or client IP.
