    This question may be related to a resolved thread.

    INFO: EE 2.13 build 20101220. Host is EngineHosting. Only major add-on is P&T Matrix. The site is a magazine with a few thousand entries, initially migrated from 1.x version of EE to 2.x last year.

    The above entry references my original problem, which I had thought I’d solved because it did stop for a while.

    PROBLEM: Basically, when a user goes to publish a new entry, once they hit the submit button, several entries are created spontaneously. So, instead of one entry that they published, three or four of that same entry are created at the same time.

    TRIED SOLUTION: Back when I made the original post this was happening on nearly every post. Now it happens less frequently. I initially thought it had something to do with caches because it was taking a long time to post, which I believed was due to cache clearing. Now it doesn’t take a long time to post.

    I set “Clear all caches when new entries are posted?” to “no” and the problem seemed to go away for a while, but now it’s happening despite that setting being “no.” I’ve also checked my permissions, etc. I upgraded to 2.13 quite when it was initially released, so I haven’t made any changes to the software.

    In my config file I have these settings (again, on the assumption this was a cache issue):

    $config['enable_db_caching'] = "n";
    $config['enable_sql_caching'] = "n";
    $config['disable_tag_caching'] = "y";

    Any ideas?

    Did you ever figure out the mix and match of db types earlier? Are you on the most recent version of Matrix?

    Yes. We happened to move the site to EngineHosting, and on the current setup the database engine is set to MyISAM for all tables.

    I can’t upgrade to the latest Matrix because of a (unrelated to this issue) EE bug

    budparr,

    As Sue suggests in related thread can you create a new channel and a new custom field set using only the stock filetypes that come with EE2.1.3? Does that scenario also make duplicate entries?

    Any other add-ons installed?

    Was the upgrade process trouble free?
    Did you do an import of any type?
