ID: 22983 Comment by: simon at acquire dot demon dot co dot uk Reported By: luke at cywh dot com Status: No Feedback Bug Type: Apache2 related Operating System: Windows XP PHP Version: 4.3.2-RC New Comment:
I found out what the problem was in my case, it wasn't Apache or PHP. Any page that contains a form which 'POSTS' data to the server causes the problem. MSIE does not add pages that are returned to a page as a result of a POST to the history. Using the GET method works fine as expected. The problem I have is that the GET method is limited to the size of the URL in that you cannot pass data greater than 256 bytes using the GET method, so what to do? This problem is limited to MSIE, Opera and Firefox work fine.

I have been developing an Intranet using Apache 2.0.53 and PHP 5.0.4 The intranet uses sessions to manage the logins. The navigation buttons in IE often do not work and I see the page containing the text "The page cannot be displayed" I've switched on debug level logging in Apache and restarted the service, nothing is logged when this happens. I've played with the cache settings in PHP, but this doesn't help either. I have found that Opera works perfectly and never falls over. The problem is that our Intranet uses OCX objects and XML with XSLT files. Opera doesn't support OCX and whilst is does support XML it doesn't support XSLT. So I'm scratching my head with this, it could be related to the session handling, but I really don't know. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-02-12 03:45:00] ViperZeroOne at shaw dot ca I'm having this EXACT same problem. It seems that my longer PHP pages refuse to come up properly. I've tried the snapshots provided to no avail. I'm using Apache2 on Windows XP and the latest PHP download available. I should note that small PHP scripts work fine, no issues at all. My problem occours when the PHP has to display a large file. Here are a couple examples; EXAMPLE1: Using a remote file-management system I can view the root of my hard drive. I open up my program files folder and it displays. I continue to open up folders and the first 2 or 3 may open, but the second the list gets too long it tosses up a "Page Cannot Be Displayed" error. I can press the back button and it will return to normal, until I get it to display too many folders again. EXAMPLE2: When using a PHP MP3 player I can view the login fine, go into the program fine, but when I go to view my larger MP3 folder it tosses up a "Page Cannot Be Displayed" error. The smaller MP3 folders, with the same files but just split up to work around this problem, load perfectly fine. EXAMPLE3: When opening up a PHP program to administrate my MySQL tables it initially opens fine. When I select a table and the page goes to display the information it pops up with a "Page Cannot Be Displayed". It should be noted that if I have the chance to click the STOP button on my browser before the error comes up I am able to view a partially generated page. Someone told me it could be due to my memory or timeout settings so I've increased those to attempt to resolve the issue, however it hasn't fixed it. Another thing to note is that using any other browsers, example Firefox, the page loads blank. Also, when I'm sitting at the computer that has the webserver running on it everything displays properly as it should. Also, it should be noted that I am running it as a module as well as I have functions, not related to this issue, that will not operate when it's run as a CGI. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-07-18 18:51:02] [EMAIL PROTECTED] No feedback was provided.
