[Slashcode-general] No Stories on the main page! help?

[Jay D. <ja...@na...>]

We've just upgraded our site (www.geekfrat.com) from 1.0.9 to 2.0.0 and =
we're seeing some strange problems.

First, only 1 story will show up on the main page at a time, even though =
I have articles set to 30.

The second problem is that slashd will keep "updating" stories each time =
it runs the five minute update: (example:)

Sun Jun 17 02:59:22 2001        Updating D'oh! 'Simpsons' worm hits Macs =
01/06/11/1919201

This gets repeated _every_ 5 minutes for some reason.

Any clue whats wrong?

Looks fine to me now.  Perhaps it's set wrong for the user you're
viewing with -- check index.shtml and see if it's different from
your index.pl, and/or log out, try from another machine, log in
as someone else...

Try restarting your webserver too :)

Nothing's wrong, that's how it works.  slashd is updating hitparade
and the .shtml files for active stories.  Note the timestamps on the
log all within the same second;  it's not like this steals a lot of
your resources (until you start getting 500 comments per story :)

No, the current www.geekfrat.com website is still running 1.0.9, we have a
machine behind the firewall that we are building the new database, and site
on.

Index.shtml shows only 1 story.

And as for the updating stories, it shows that for _every_ story in the
Database.
