Odd issue

[Chris]

Not sure what it is, but you know when you restart the server and in the top right you see the progress spinner then it goes to the checkmark?

That seems to happen on my forums every 5 mins or so. Any ideas what may be going on?

[julian]

Hm, would be your forum crashing (which is not a good sign!). Can you tail your forever log (if you're using forever), and let us know what the error is?

[Chris]

@julian lol, it looks like it's restarting because it's detecting a change in error.log. I'll disable -w for now I suppose.

[julian]

Hahaha, well then... in that case, perhaps you should check out the error log and see what it is...

[Chris]

Not sure wtf that means.

[julian]

Tell me about it. Redis error messages are the worst.

From the sounds of it, it looks like we're doing a database call without checking for a proper error callback. But without a proper line number, there's no way to know which call is doing it
