extensive testing on windows 7 and windows server 2012 problems whit emails/timers/submissions

bianc

Hey @Sven, 

I have the same problems as this threads: https://forum.gsa-online.de/discussion/comment/101297?

https://forum.gsa-online.de/discussion/14699/gsa-email-bug-it-changing-passwords-alone#latest 

it really looks like GSA have some troubles whit the timer/submissions settings, and emails.

Here`s my problem. (problem occurs when using the timers).

setups and multiple testings.

Windows 7 dedicated server

and Windows server 2012 latest version (updates).

both giving the same problems

So what have i done:

Tested all proxies (good)

Tested all servers no problems here (good)

Tested on 2 diff os (good).

Tested whit fresh emails ect (good)

Have to add s4nt0s (bhw)  was a great helper (and still is).

So i setup a brand new campaign (12 tiers).

every thing is fresh.

i used the timers on account creation and timers on re-posts xxx amount to stop after submissions.

I started the project (it ran fine until it bumps on the timers,submissions) all projects are at a halt.

im getting errors on non active project (these projects where never activated and are brand new).

so it created the first batch whit out any problem, But its not stopping on xxx submissions, it continues.

then it ran out of engines, normal it must create a new set after xxx times then gsa seems like to crash.

then im getting download fails recaptcha errors email errors.

More strange is that a tier 3 which is never been activated before, its a inactive tier... going to give errors.

it seems this tier 3 is duplicating errors from a tier 1.

now i noticed when i turn of the timers (option/ time to wait on further posts 0 minutes) its blast away and act normal.

but this i don't want i will get 100ths of accounts at once.

but if i set the account timer to 1 minute all projects start to crash.

Feel free to log in my server if you need. i know there must be a bug in gsa (somewhere to do whit the timers or submissions maybe both)

i cant only find it. servers and os acting normal i cant find any problems.

only thing that will change the os a bit is captcha breaker but this isn't a problem and seems normal.

As i said ive done some extensive testings (also whit the help of s4nt0s (from bhw), im glad to help you out on skype, and give you access to my servers.

else i need to post to much pictures in this forum.

Quick recap:

Captcha breaker problems

timer problems

posting problems (maybe)

account creation problems (whit timers on)

submission timer problems.

email problems (sometimes it changes pw)

and a strange lost bug (posting errors in a non active tier)

all problems seems to be related to the timers.

no timers or limitation on the projects it will blast away as normal.

Thanks  

Sven

9.22 should fix the "Time to wait on further registrations" problem.

bianc

thanks @Sven,

pause/stop on submissions is bugging to.

any eta for a fix on that would be great so i can get my campaigns up and running.

many thanks for the fast fixes 

Sven

9.22 is already out

bianc

@sven yes it solved the timer on the account creations.

but it dint solved the pause/stop on submissions lets say 20 a day.

so i have set pause on submission (25).

but im al ready far over 200 submissions 

everything seems to be set correct so i really don't know why it continues to submit.

bianc

solved it. all seems to work correctly now.

Don

@bianc How did you solve it? Did you find that the counters weren't giving accurate readings. It seems mine are stuck sometimes

bianc

@don and @sven,

as @sven said problems are solved whit 9.22.

(but not the captcha bug, gsa ser web 2.0 submissions bug (pause/start submissions not working 100% bug).

(sometimes email bug, but less important and already know by sven / team you can find more on the forum on this bug/error).

the timer bug seems still existing to since it wont read the right value.

new registrations on 1440 but it started after 555 min later. 

so i think you need to wait for an update from @sven or tweak it your self.

hope this helped u a bit @don im going to take a break a bit until sven fixed these bugs.

after 5 days of searching im a bit done whit it....

Sven

That time in project option is a minimum time. It is not an exact time. The program will not start posting immediately.

bianc

true but if the minimum time is 1440 minutes, why does it start far under the minimum time? 

its a difference of 885 minutes. that's a big offset from the minimum time right?

So if i activate this project it creates 1 set of accounts immediately.

(next account creation is 1440 minutes later, but it start creating new accounts after 555 minutes)  

it doesn't have to be on the minute, i agree on that but this difference is to far off.

 

 

bianc

bug 2 still exits on the pause/stop on lets say 20 submissions.

if i use and pause/stop whit a zero on the end the program keeps blasting submission.

if i change it to lets say 21 the program will listen to this and stops around 21 submissions.

sometimes less some times a bit more, but it stops around 21.

whit the number 10, 20, 30, it wont stop submitting. 

Sven

i would need the project backup to this please.

bianc

sure no problem, will send it tomorrow let me know how to send it to you.

and tell me what you need.

project backup?

or a complete backup?

Sven

just a backup of the project to my email that you find on our homepage.

bianc
