Alright, time to do that thing I do where I screw around with one of my own sockpuppets to try to replicate the problem. Give me a couple minutes.

Alright, I think I figured it out. It's not enough to give you permission to view applicants; you have to have permission to "Approve" users, too.

The Applicants button only shows up when there's an application in the queue. It's that way for admins, too.

Somebody did. I might have done it out of habit without realizing it.
It won't be long before another comes along, though.

That should be fixed now.
In true Vanilla fashion, there are two confusingly-named permissions: "Applicants" and "Applications", and in our confusion before Anonus or I enabled them both. Turns out "Applicants" is the one you need, and "Applications" gives you access to another admin panel that controls other parts of Vanilla. This software's confusing sometimes.
By default, PHP FastCGI processes exit after handling 500 requests, and they may exit after this module has already connected to the application and sent the next request. When that occurs, an error will be logged and 500 Internal Server Error will be returned to the client. This PHP behavior can be disabled by setting PHP_FCGI_MAX_REQUESTS to 0, but that can be a problem if the PHP application leaks resources. Alternatively, PHP_FCGI_MAX_REQUESTS can be set to a much higher value than the default to reduce the frequency of this problem. <a href="http://httpd.apache.org/mod_fcgid/mod/mod_fcgid.html#fcgidmaxrequestsperprocess"; style="color: rgb(53, 165, 0);">FcgidMaxRequestsPerProcess</a> can be set to a value less than or equal to PHP_FCGI_MAX_REQUESTS to resolve the problem.
got an applicant whose reason for joining is "I enjoy a good heap". That seems like a joke but it might also just be a clever spambot so I'm not sure what to do here.
username is degnanon if that rings bells to anyone.
edit: nevermind actually, his e-mail looks legit. I'mma approve him.
Anyways, um, administrators, I can only access the first thread on each tag page, like General, General Media, Thistagisalwaysapplicable, etc. And, on the all discussins page, I can't access any of the threads. None of the buttons in the "categories" tray work. And I can't access the top half of the page on the All Discussions page.
Reposting because Aliroz can't access Administrivia, apparently.
And I just figured out why the site has been hammered recently: WhosOnline wasn't configured correctly and was hitting the server every second (or worse). Upping the timeout to 30 seconds seems to have made a difference.

Ouch! I kinda feel like that's my own fault, since I was the one who wanted that plugin. >_<

There's no link to the Activity page in the mobile site. Not too big of a problem, but it would be nice to have one. Also, if you switch to the full site while in the mobile one, there's no link there to switch back to mobile. That's a bit more problematic
Apologies if these topics have been brought up earlier in the thread.

This just popped up in a little window for me:

I had the same thing. It seems to happen from time to time, but I never commented on it 'cause usually everything's fine once I close it.
Yeah, the PHP setup will occasionally stop by itself as a defense against memory leaks. I had a wrapper script installed that should have made it less likely to do that, but it may be a good idea to just turn off that "feature" entirely.
It happens to me too. It doesn't really cause any issues to my knowledge beyond "...That's kind of annoying." But I just refresh and everything is fine.
Not so much a bug as a couple of things I noticed and should take care of eventually:
We really need to upgrade to the newest Ubuntu LTS (12.04 or "Precise"). Going to 64-bit would be a good idea, too, since 32-bit is something of a thing of the past now.
Linode is offering a free upgrade from 512 MB to 1 GB. We don't absolutely need the space—reconfiguring the "who's on" plugin helped a lot—but hey, don't look a gift horse in the mouth.
None of this will be happening tonight, as it's too close to my bedtime to do any intricate upgrades. I'm mainly writing this down to remind me to do it when I have the time.

^^ Sounds good to me!
^ Same here. I was gonna hold out until I get a replacement hard drive, but I might just try reformatting this one out of desperation... >_>

I keep getting HTTP 500 more frequently lately...is something wrong?
Hokay, this sucks. For one thing, GDN_Comment (where all the posts are stored) is MyISAM when it really should be InnoDB. I just saw the PHP workers time out after MySQL sat there, stuck using like 80% CPU.
Comments
oh I see it.
time to ban some bots.
ok.
lemme know when you've figured it out. The Applicants button is gone fwiw.
Oh, did you already reject that bot then?
OK.
I will stand vigilant in the meantime.
Just turned down my first bot.
Also, I can for some reason access the various add-on customization panels. Might want to fix that if possible.
I won't do anything with them regardless but still.
I see.
Thank you, ma'm.
I shall now return to guarding the gate.

I usually chalk it up to "dammit, computers are stupid"
