Re: error after new post (all of a sudden)
Thanks for thinking about my problem, Chris! 
I don’t understand the problem either… I’m sure the PHP errors are being logged. I just triple-checked my httpd.include file, and it has this line: ErrorLog /var/www/vhosts/weddingbee.com/statistics/logs/error_log. This is the location that I’ve been looking for the PHP errors. There are other PHP notices/errors from this boards subdomain (mostly from bots looking for non-existent Front Page files), but nothing about this error.
In the access_log, I do see lines like this:
74.235.132.92 - - [06/May/2008:04:32:32 -0400] "POST /bb-post.php HTTP/1.1" 500 366 "http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/second-guessing-everything" "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 5.1; .NET CLR 1.0.3705; .NET CLR 1.1.4322; Media Center PC 4.0; .NET CLR 2.0.50727)"
However, that’s not what we want…
Last night, I did some searches and found this comment on php.net which said that the two reasons for a missing error in the error_log were “(1) you did not configure error_log output in php.ini, and (2) the script has a syntax error and did therefore not execute.” However, the script does appear to be executing at least partially, because the post/comment does post. Also, if you visit the bb-post.php page (http://boards.weddingbee.com/bb-post.php) directly, the page does execute (with a die).
I too am confused by why the POST takes such a long time. The load average for the webserver and the database server are fairly low…
