  • Berkshire Record Outlet: What gives?

    From Russ (not Martha)@21:1/5 to All on Sat Jan 28 20:15:23 2023
    Anyone try the Berkshire Record Outlet search buttons lately?

    Catalogs New Releases Featured Restocks

    . . . all fail, with a popup:

    No such file or directory

    Error establishing a database connection

    This either means that the username and password information in your wp-config.php file is incorrect or that contact with the database server at localhost could not be established. This could mean your host’s database server is down. [end]

    Let’s hope that Broinc isn’t going to disappear for months like Arkivmusic, and then come back so dumbed-down as to be next to useless.

    They seem to have screwed up some scipts - lots of extraneous verbiage.
    Catalog actually works (sarch doesn't). It was fine a day earlier.

    I have informed Joe Eckstein (owner of BRO) of the problem. His programmer (perhaps I should say app developer) is, shall we say, a bit less than professional. I suspect he was tinkering with the program (app?) and broke it. What else could it be?
    Some limit exceeded, I suppose. I expect it to be fixed soon.

    I imagine it will be corrected soon. A bad script or some problem with WordPress.

    Different errors now. Looks like they're offline while under repair. Should have been making mods in a test environment in the first place, not on the production app. Amateurish.
