While trying to place a message with an attachment, there was a "hanging" that finished with a blank page, and no posting appeared. I decided there was an issue and put up a post that worked.
I then attempted to attach an image and got the same return of a blank page, we now have a posting that returns a 404 error 500 error.
http://savestockton.org/gripes/index.php?topic=230.msg462;topicseen#msg462
I have the same posting up with an embedded url, I just ftp'd the file to the server and linked. It is fine.

Primary: How do I remove a posting I cannot get to?
secondary... how do I troubleshoot the upload error. All was fine 24 hours ago.

by mayor, note the time stamp on testing2 is the same as before the mod was attempted.
Thanks. I hope I covered it all.
Item of note:
A 404 500 may be displayed, but the forum software increments the views anyway.
example:: "Start with 4 views, get 404 error. Return and update it shows 5 views."
And this is significant:
Normally if you just "reload" a forum message it will not increment the views unless the message cookie is change by another forum pageview.
When you reload the 404 500 page it will increment.
( btw: my custom 404 says "OOP. I seem to have Burped. Try again, but gentler please.")
(btw: my custom 500 says "OOPS. I seem to have Burped. Try again, but gentler please. Error 500 )

Primary: How do I remove a posting I cannot get to?
Yeah, that is a good question. I have tried to delete these messages when they show up, but I cannot find an Admin function that allows fro removal of an item based on it's url or "topic #"
Is there a way to access these outside of the regular forum framework?
I'm lost. What is going on?

I'm lost. What is going on?
Sorry. I tried to be clear but just made it muddy.
When a post is made, it is good all can see it.
when an attachment is placed on said post, it will now display a
404 500 error. The database will increment the "views" count even on a simple page reload.
What can I do to remove the "bad" post? I cannot access it, It shows as a 500 instead.original posting that gave a
404 500 error:
http://savestockton.org/gripes/index.php?topic=230.0
There is a sample posting in a test board done to prove the adding of attachment to a working post will give the
404 500 error.
http://savestockton.org/gripes/index.php?board=70.0
My 404 error delivers the following text:
OOP. I seem to have Burped. Try again, but gentler please.
Did you recently change servers?
Is your database using iso8859-7? What character set is it using?

The server was recently changed (a month back) from BSD to Centos. the posting behavior was absolutely normal as recently as the day before.
I can work around the error, the concern is the removal of bad posts.
The character set for the server is standard.. The admin's won't have a response on that till tomorrow. The setup was perfect until today... not exactly sure what to think.
Ummm. The error code is actually 500 . My bad on calling it a 404.
Ok, I tried to clarify a few things. The attachments folder was set for over 100mb, but used only 64mb.
All attachments seem to have been there, one for each post attempt, and 2 instances of the thumb temp were present ...
68_07ULVPhoto_jpg42d1338227a5fa11cdc652351bae343f_thumb.tmp
The uploaded attachments were all incremented properly and filesize is good.
The last attachment posting from before this issue showed is still displaying fine:
http://savestockton.org/gripes/index.php?topic=229.0
I just tried to repeat this after increasing the attachment folder capacity to 900mb. Same.
I tried to repeat after removing all other instances of the attachment. same.
The new uploads do appear in the attachments folder on the server.
In response to the earlier questions:
>> Did you recently change servers?
We did not make any changes in the database server.
>> Is your database using iso8859-7? What character set is it using?
The default character set of database server is Latin. The server also support the character ISO-8859-7 (that's for greek).
Please let us know if you have any further queries.

Can you check to see if mod_security is installed on your host, as this might be what is causing this issues.
