I am getting the "invalid response from the server" error as described on http://drupal.org/node/375770

That is, when I try to add a term with Hierarchial select on an add-node page, a popup comes up and says "invald response from the server"

Firebug says "...500 Internal Server Error... 1.45s 8d553b52...35021b.js (line 13)"
and
"Drupal.HierarchicalSelect.state[hsid].log is undefined" 8d553b52...35021b.js (line 1245)
Drupal.HierarchicalSelect.state[hsid].log.push([ message ]);"

My status report says the module is working fine (at admin/reports/status).

We recently upgraded from php 5.2.8 to php 5.2.9.

Title: invalid response from server error » Environment-specfic "Invalid response from server" error

I can't reproduce this, so you'll have to some investigation yourself. Since it seems to be a server-specific issue according to that forum post, this might not be easy.

It was environment specific but I don't know how it was solved. It wasn't a problem with Hierarchical Select.

I can confirm its environment specific!

For the people still struggling with this issue, I found out that the problem most likely is web server related. In my case HS has always been working fine untill recently, and the configuration of my dev machine was to blame:

WinXP + iis 5.1 + php 5.2.10 + ms fastcgi + eaccelerator + drupal 6.14 + HS 3.0 = OK!

Win Server 2003 + iis 6.0 + php 5.2.10 + ms fastcgi + eaccelerator + drupal 6.14 + HS 3.0 = "Uhoh, Invalid Response"

Win Server 2003 + Apache 2.2.14 + php 5.2.10 + drupal 6.14 + HS 3.0 = OK! Everything back working.. pfew

Haven't tried any accelerators yet, if I mess it up again I will let you know why.
