XF 1.4 Post/Create Thread Won't Post Unless I Refresh Page

[51463]

Something strange is going on with my forum.

When i reply to press create thread all i see is this in the corner. It doesn't post.

But if i refresh it. The i noticed that the message was posted




I believe it happened after i installed this add-on.
https://xenforo.com/community/resources/control-nofollow-urls.1389/

I installed it and it was causing that problem. So i disabled the add-on and it's still causing that.

I'm not 100% sure it was the add-on But it was working yesterday.


What could be wrong?

I don't think it was the add-on.

I just checked my server error logs and i got this

Ok i can confirm it wasn't the add-on. i installed the add-on after i disabled the elasticsearch and it works. So it was elastic search that was causing that problem.

What do those errors mean? Was elastic search causing that second error? What do i do? help!

The lock wait timeout error seems very likely to indicate that there may have been a server load issue at the time which was causing normally fast queries to timeout unexpectedly.

 

[51463]

I was able to log into my SSH with putty.

Step 1 was to confirm if my elasticsearch was running by putting in:

ps -A

I could not find this anywhere

17927 ? 00:00:04 elasticsearch-l

So this means my elasticsearch is not running.

I don't know what happened because it was running a few weeks ago.


The next step says:

Explicitly bind the Elasticsearch IP and Port.

It says to Open up:

RHEL/SUSE
Open up /elasticsearch/config/elasticsearch.yml and on line 199 edit

Debian/Ubuntu
Open up /usr/local/elasticsearch/config/elasticsearch.yml and on line 199 edit

I believe i am using ubuntu: Where can i find this file? in my ftp i can't find any folders about elasticsearch.

Or is it in the WHM or cPanel? I want to check the file. It should be there since it was installed and working before. But i don't know where to find this file

Last time I checked.. if you were using either WHM/cPanel, then you were not using a Debian derivative OS... but either CentOS or Redhat or or a derivative thereof.
