I am a happy user since several years. I have about 20 Drupal 5 sites running with php-ids and an version 5.xxx of the php-ids plugin.
Shortly I started to build sites in Drupal 6 with plugin version phpids-0.6.3.1.
About 80% of my logs consist of php-ids warnings based on regular www.example.com/user/* requests. How can I prevent getting these entries?

Thanks for this very usefull module.

Hello promes,

please take a look at issue #489134: JSON option on false positives and "Example to reduce false positives (since 6.x-1.10 and new branches)" part on PHPIDS project page http://drupal.org/project/phpids. I think your problem are only false positives which could be configured in phpids settings (since 6.x-1.10 or new branches for your D5 sites).

If you need more help, please post an example log entry.

I've been studying Drupal for over a year now- little by little- and now I'm sitting down to create a site for a Holiday Inn franchise- a large one- and every since I've been toying/practicing/and now actually building with Drupal, I can say that I am constantly encountering these bizarre user warnings that complain about duplicate entries in the database- and I'm not doing anything out of the ordinary here.

I just went into my Themes settings and changed the size of one of my sidebars in my layout- then when I navigated to the Blocks page, I got not one but tons of user warnings- all complaining of duplicate entries- and each warning was regarding an INSERT INTO attempt for all of the various default system themes like Garland, Minelli, etc.

Honestly, Drupal's been around for awhile from what I gather here- why does this sort of thing pop up all the time? It really makes the whole system seem unstable to me. I prefer the power of Drupal to the Wordpress system, but I'm starting to appreciate the stability that Wordpress offers- I never have any problem like this in Wordpress.

Can someone help explain this to me? I understand databases, but these warnings make me fear that the system might be unstable, and I can't be using an unstable system for this client. I'm using Drupal 6.20.

Any words would be very appreciated. Thanks!

Hello Victor,

1. Your problem doesn't have any relation with PHPIDS. Please use next time the right place for your question. The forum might be a right place.

2. I also have so now and then several entries in the watchdog / recent logs regarding duplicate entries in the database of the used themes. I don't know why the theming modules are trying to re-enter the theming info in the database, but -as far as I can see- it is a harmless warning.
I will give my opnion for a better one.

This issue will be left closed.
