[SOLVED] 0 PHP REGULAR EXPRESSION LIMIT REACHED (PCRE.BACKTRACK_LIMIT)

Yep, the hoster is having a look at it. The weird thing though is I have EXACTLY the same settings as you and am even using PHP 5,5...

Anyway, the hoster is currently having a look at it.

The first thing I did was have a look at the links you sent me and havent got any hair anymore on my head because I ripped it all out in frustration!

Thanks for your help!

There clearly is a problem with CB. The guys raised the limit now to 10 Million for both values and it just barely works. The edit as well as the registration now take 30 seconds to load, compared to less than 1 second beforehand.

When I open an edit page, it maxes the server and debug mode has shown that it takes 15 seconds for Afterrender (see image, it takes this long even with debug turned off).

What could be the problem? It seems to be CB related.

You have something installed and/or configured doing it most likely. Disable "Debug Language" within Joomla global configuration then see if issue goes away. If not then disable non-core CB plugins 1 by 1 until the issue goes away. If it doesn't then repeat with 3rd party Joomla system plugins. This is simply a matter of trial and error to find what's triggering this. So disable, test, disable, test, etc...

That is exactly how I wanted to spend my night!!!!

Will have a look, thanks!

OK I have a lead now. I have turned off all the plugins apart from CB core and the templates but I still have the error and the rendering of more than 15 seconds.

Here is what I have found though:

I had saved 3 photos in CB gallery. These photos where now throwing errors (since I switched off gallery, btw no idea why they were loaded in the edit settings). The names have attached an infinity of orig. endings, which I guess is overloading php (PCRE.Backtrack_limit exceeded) and are slowing down the website massively (see attached screenshot).

Furthermore, the website was throwing an "Unexpected synthax error" in Programm 4, which disappeared when I disabled CB connections or Groupjive. It is not the error I was looking for but thought it would be relevant as well (I also have this error in my saigon website which is working fine).

Edit your canvas and avatar fields within CB > Field Management. Then under Parameters > Image Gallery ensure "Path" is completely empty. Maybe you supplied a custom path with loads of invalid images in it, no idea. If it's already empty then check the below directory to ensure your gallery images are using simple alphanumeric names.

images/comprofiler/gallery/

We use regexp to validate the gallery images extensions quickly to ensure they're an extension supported. My guess is maybe you have something there that shouldn't be there or bad filename.
