ColdFusion ERROR on when going to SPONSOR link - GoFuckYourself.com

EddiePulp · 09-25-2007, 03:06 PM

What does this mean? When I see this more than once, testing a code to a sponsors paysite?

If this is happening as much as I think it is - i.e. I clicked the sponsor like 3 times today and got that 2 out of the 3... am I wasting my traffic?

Code:

The following information is meant for the website developer for debugging purposes.  

Error Occurred While Processing Request  
Parameter 2 of function Left which is now 0 must be a positive integer  
 
  
The error occurred in C:\CUSTOM_TAGS\check_ip.cfc: line 59
 
57 : 				<cfset temp = QuerySetCell(This_Data_Set,"state",lcase(left(data_list[4],len(data_list[4])-1)))>
58 : 				<cfset temp = QuerySetCell(This_Data_Set,"country",lcase(left(data_list[1],len(data_list[1])-1)))>
59 : 				<cfset temp = QuerySetCell(This_Data_Set,"acode",lcase(left(data_list[11],len(data_list[11])-1)))>
60 : 				<cfif len(data_list[7]) GT 1>
61

It the refers to Coldfusion Webiste for help followed by more errors

Code:

coldfusion.runtime.InvalidFunctionArgException: Parameter 2 of function Left which is now 0 must be a positive integer
at coldfusion.runtime.CFPage.Left(CFPage.java:3300)
	at cfcheck_ip2ecfc659929508$funcGET_IP_DATA_NEW.runFunction(C:\CUSTOM_TAGS\check_ip.cfc:59)

	at coldfusion.runtime.UDFMethod.runFilterChain(UDFMethod.java:207)

It goes on and on - Im not posting the rest as it refers to the name of the paysite.

The other strange thing is the percentage of uniques to raws... supposedly only 30% or less of the traffic I'm sending is unique.. which is strange considering its Search Engine traffic

They're trying to get the left characters from a string which looks like the length of is zero, so it throws an error.

They need to put a check in there and only try to pull the info if the length of the string is greater than zero.

it looks like it is the script that checks a unique hit? which could be why my uniques are strangely low compared to raw...

I am trying to get in touch with them to fix - but havnt heard from them on icq or email yet.

It may be just that, the tag that errors is check_ip.cfc so if they're checking for unique IPs and getting errors that might be screwing up the count.
