Received on the screen just a few minutes ago, while trying to access MPSIMS.
What does this mean?
It means that PHP and MySQL had a moment of bad gas, recommendations are for the server to lay off beans and bananas. AKA a database compilation error (I believe.)
What you need to know is bolded. The rest basically says, “whoops, something screwed up, sorry.” Happens every once in a while. Hit refresh and go on with life. It always works for me after I do that.
I actually tried MPSIMS again, got no joy, thought, “Oh, well”, and – as waterj put it: “got on with life.” I didn’t go into the shock-horrors: just wanted to know, without e-mailing tech staff and probably not being able to understand their lingo, what it meant. Whatever got screwed up – did it involve 3 lines of the program? Wow.
“Oops” probably has meaning of its own in techie-speak. But doesn’t it just sum up the whole deal? My applause to the techie who put that there.
that happens to me sometimes, its usually the board being too busy I assume. Of course, IM sure to get a coldburn for that comment.
Not from me, handy, not from me. Ta for the input.
Well, I don’t know SQL programming, but in my experience with C and BASIC, it’s almost unheard of for a program to have a problem that spans more than one line. What is common, though, is for a program to have a one-line error that the computer thinks is a multi-line error. Often, the line that has the error isn’t even one of the ones the computer suspects. Lots of luck, then, to the programmer who’s trying to find it.
