Title: Controls.dat Downloads Failing
Post by: MisterB on May 15, 2004, 09:24:12 am

Hey controls.dat guys...when I try to download the XML version of the database, I keep receiving the following message

Code: [Select]

<b>Fatal error</b>:  Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in <b>/home/httpd/vhosts/fe.donkeyfly.com/httpdocs/controls/generatexml.php</b> on line <b>116</b><br />
-^

Is this something you can fix?  Thanks!

Hmmm, it's timing out now?
I just tried it, it didn't timeout for me.  It generated the xml file on the fly.

Try it again, otherwise here's a link to an xml file I just downloaded.  You will need to fix it, there are some characters causing it to not be a valid xml file.  I have to look into that.

Hmm, IE doesn't like it, but mozilla opens it without any errors.  So you might have issues reading in the xml data.  You may have to delete the offending characters until I figure out what's going on.

Hmmm...I was trying to DL it with IE, so maybe that's it.

Either way, thanks for posting the file!

Last week I'd been having trouble downloading the no-white-spaces XML version, it was just giving me a 0kb xml file that wouldn't open. Seems to be working now though. Very strange.

This will all be solved *hopefully* in the near future when there is enough games and I have enough time to convert the system into a more static file generating system.
