visitors table problem

Post by HMTKSteve »

I just encountered strange problem.

My site just surpassed 88,000 hits and my visitors table would no longer accept new entries. Is this a mySQL error or a bug in Serendipity?

I had to empty the table of data to get rid of the error messages on my site.

Hi!

Sadly the current implementation of the visitor counting has no "purging" of the table, so it can get very large with many visitors. You might have simply reached a maximum size of your table handler...do you know which error message you got?

Nope

No, I did not bother to write it down, I just emptied the table.

The table was over 20MB and it might have been an issue with my hosting package...
