Does anyone else have a problem trying to connect with @meldrik@lemmy.wtf?

I can follow the profile in Mastodon, but when I enter this user in the box to connect with them, I get a white screen, and I see this in the log

Just me?

Hi !Friendica Support

I set up a Friendica server couple days ago. We have seen couple times a problem where an image attached to a post is visible only to the author of the post. This doesn't happen all the time or for all the images, but has happened to multiple users. If the image is shown broken once, it will stay broken. All the users are on the same server.

- As far as I know, this has happened only in private posts.
- Same person has posted both an image I can see and an image I can't see.
- As the author can see the image in the post, the data definitely is on the server and even accessible from the UI.
- Editing the post and re-adding the image didn't fix the problem.

The error message shown when trying to open a broken image is:

Not Found

The Photo with id 1181454791679d39a348725148987421 is not available.

#4 {main}

Request: 679debda529e1


Server info:
This is Friendica, version 2024.12 that is running at the web location https://capybara.community. The database version is 1576/1576, the post update version is 1550/1550.


Any ideas what could be wrong or how to continue debugging this?

(I'll be able to investigate this now for couple hours. After that I'll have to come back to this on Monday.)

I'm writing this from my Piefed server because my Friendica server, my-place.social, can no longer view helpers@forum.friendi.ca. I get a 500 error. As far as I can tell, viewing all other groups and contacts works fine.

This problem may be related to the Wasabi outage from yesterday. I use Wasabi S3 for image storage, and they had a partial outage yesterday that caused obvious issues on the server, like blurred images. I say this because the exception may be image related.

This is the error in the friendica log:

I tried updating the contact information, unfollowing/following. I can't view it from any other account on the server. I assume the contact record in the database is corrupted.

I thought of playing with the .console archive function to archive the contact and see if I can follow it again to have the server build a new record, but stuff like this could have unintended consequences. So, I'm reaching out first.

Does anyone have advice on how to fix this?

show variables like 'max_connections'; shows 151 max_connections.

I did: SET GLOBAL max_connections = 200;

I also edited /etc/mysql/mariadb.conf.d/50-server.cnf and set max_connections = 200

Is this too high? Too low? Did I do this the correct way?

Thank you!

Thanks!

!Friendica Support Guten Abend in die Runde. Ich brauche mal eure Hilfe. Ich habe ein Problem seit vorgestern in meinem Profil (Und ausschließlich nur in meinem Profil, hab es getestet mit einem anderen Account). Das Problem fing für mich an als ich einen Beitrag geliked hatte. Seit dem ist meine /network Seite komplett weiß. Wie gesagt, es betrifft nur und ausschließlich mein Profil und ist nicht bei allen. Was kann das sein?

In den Logs habe ich seither 2 Einträge:

BTW. Sorry for not using some formatting (e.g., for code), but currently, I'm running from a live Slax on an ancient laptop with an exotic German keyboard.

New error message (of FRIO) about a folder created by the user root.

I haven't found the extensive conversation about this problem with @Hypolite Petovan yet but I'm quite sure that I changed all folders to ownership of user www-data before 28th of November of the smarty folder. Actually there was another conversation about ownership of folders and I changed all folders to be owned by root except storage and view that day on 02:45hs, the new folder owned by root at /view/smarty3/compiled/ like stated below was created on 3:50hs.

As for what I remember of all the conversations this shouldn't have happened.

btw, this is what they state about the debian options:

OpenVPN
For freedom fighters
The only VPN to be trusted is the one you have full control over.
The server and client certificates are automatically generated and the client file sent via email to the customer after. Runs on port 443, which is almost always accessible. All logging is sent to /dev/null and DNS queries are made on the same server.

Wireguard
Also for freedom fighters
40-50% faster than OpenVPN.
Route all your traffic through an encrypted tunnel, perfect for bypassing internet controlled by a fascist government.

LEMP
Ready to use webserver
LEMP stands for Linux, nginx (pronounced Engine x), MySQL, and PHP. It comes preconfigured with an optimized PHP setup which can run, depending on the size of the server, load heavy sites. It is also good as a content delivery server for example advertisement banners, videos, or even a fileserver for files to download.

Nextcloud Server
Ready to use Nextcloud
Run your own cloud service.
Nextcloud, the next generation open source Enterprise File Sync and Share software, the server is optimized for high usage with Let's Encrypt https certificate.
