Hi all

Frequently the file Data.pm located at admin/GForum/Config is overwritten loosing all the data.pm I talk with my ISP about this, and he is sure that all is ok from the server side. This is happening in any moment, and without warning. Not when i'm changing some configuration on the admin panel. Simply the file is overwritten at any situation (may be too many users over the forum?)

I wish to know if someone else have this trouble, loosing the data in the this file.

Thanx in advance

I suspect the problem is that about once / day, Gossamer Forum attempts to clear all temporary guest sessions. The problem, I suspect, is that multiple requests are hitting during the same second, so multiple gforum.cgi's attempt to do the delete, and attempt to save the config file after they've done so.

As a fix, you can try something like this:

Look in GForum.pm for a line like this:


Below it, there is a comment and these lines:


Move the first of those three lines down so that the code now looks like:


Edit:

There is also a section in GForum/Authenticate.pm that could cause the same problem, though it is less likely to do so. Around line 380 is some code that looks very similar to the above, and should be changed to that this line:

GT::Session::SQL->new({ tb => $DB->table('Session') })->cleanup(60 ...

goes after the "$CFG->save()" line.
