Hello! Such a mistake. Occurs when searching the forum in Russian. Did not understand what changes need to be made to correct this error?

Sir Osis of Liver

Can you post the error message?  Have you converted to utf-8?

This is a known issue.  Note that, despite the message, everything works properly.   The errors can be safely ignored.

A fix is underway in 2.1 to get rid of the spurious errors.

More info, including possible 2.0 fixes, is on this thread:

Address the process rather than the outcome.  Then, the outcome becomes more likely.   - Fripp

Yes, for a long time there was a transition to utf-8.

Yes, everything is working fine. But at each search it issues this log.

Line 2424 in Load.php in SMF 2.0.14.

Code (Load.php) Select
session_start();

// Change it so the cache settings are a little looser than default.
if (!empty($modSettings['databaseSession_loose']))
header('Cache-Control: private');
}


Line 2415, just above 2424.

Code (Load.php) Select
// Use cache setting sessions?
if (empty($modSettings['databaseSession_enable']) && !empty($modSettings['cache_enable']) && php_sapi_name() != 'cli')
{
if (function_exists('mmcache_set_session_handlers'))
mmcache_set_session_handlers();
elseif (function_exists('eaccelerator_set_session_handlers'))
eaccelerator_set_session_handlers();
}


Disable forum cache:

Admin --> Configuration --> Server Settings --> Caching --> Caching Level: No caching

Admin --> Configuration --> Server Settings --> Caching --> Memcache settings (leave field empty)

Disable search index:

Admin --> Forum --> Search --> Search Method --> Search index: No index

Admin --> Forum --> Search --> Search Method --> Search Method --> Force the use of a search index (untick)

Try with these settings and see if the same error appears again during a search. You can also empty the cache directory, but don't delete .htaccess and index.php in the cache dir.
