Module Your_Account Inactive

Posted: Wed Jul 15, 2009 9:42 pm

Sketchy info at best. Was going to have a look at "Edit Users" but the icon was missing. Brought up "Modules" and sure enough, Your_Account was listed as "inactive". DB was optimized two days ago and since then no maintenance took place. Any idea what to look for other than just some temporary glitch maybe bumping heads with another MySQL access? This "has" been known to occur. Or just simply one of those "gremlins".

Cheers

I've not heard of this happening before. If you reactive the module does the Edit Users button reappear in the admin section?

Yes, it reappears.

I've had this happen before but not just one module, all of them at once but the icons didn't disappear.

I think it was just a case of a collision in accessing the DB because it happened milliseconds after denying a user. The next click produced a blank page in "ya-users" and a reload was when the icon disappeared. An immediate re-activate cleared things up and the icon re-appeared.

There have been forum posts, I believe, about the auto-deactivation/removal of modules from the modules table. *nuke will read the modules directory and if it cannot find a given module's directory, it will remove it from the modules table. This can happen, I think, at times when a site is under very heavy load and/or maybe when anything else going on at the same time interferes with PHP's directory retrieval.

We have talked about possibly removing this capability from RN (may already have), especially from the modules block and making it strictly an admin refresh type activity/request. Or, possibly adding a module removal step where the admin must also delete the module using the modules ACP page.

I believe the directories are only read in the modules admin now in RN.

This could happen if the modules block can't read the index.php in a module, which is usually a server load issue that affects all modules, but it could also happen to one or more modules.

I've had, and reported this issue here, a while back but it affected most all modules, not just one. And unlike this time, none of the icons disappeared.
