Thread

Just come across an issue with a site running 2.2.1 whereby the site returns a ERR_EMPTY_RESPONSE when loading the site and the control panel.

I have tracked the issue down to the security code used to restrict the Freelancer license. It appears (to me) as though the code is attempting to access an undeclared variable and causing the site to bail out during the template parsing process.

I solved the issue by commenting out two separate instances of the security code and the site now works fine.  I appreciate that the site is not running the latest version, but the same code is present in both versions.

I wanted to know if this is a known issue or if not make you aware of it.  Rather than paste the filenames and locations of the security code in public forums, if you contact me directly at chris <at> moresoda.co.uk I would be happy to provide you with the code locations that were causing the issue.

Hi Christopher,

I’ve contacted you privately to get these details from you. If you do not receive an email from me, please let me know!

Based on private conversations, it sounds like this might be a server-specific issue. Christopher is checking in with his hosting provider to see what the cause might be; I’ll keep this thread open so that he can update it with any news.

After investigating with his host, Christopher was able to determine the problem was a result of the host having recently installed XDebug on his server. For more information about this problem, see this thread.

Thanks to Christopher for working with his host and bringing back the results so we could share them with the community!
