Hi all,

When I save changes made on page "admin/settings/simplenews/mail" , I get a message "The requested page could not be found.".
While the screen changes to that message, the url remains the same. And the settings are not saved. It's the page where I want to change the Cron throttle.

Any ideas what might cause this?
Cheers,
Danny

Clear the cache and try again.

Hi Sutharsan,

I tried 3 things:

A normal refresh on the page where I encounter the problem:
http://www.dannyjoris.be/files/fora/simplenews_page_breaks_with_refresh.swf

A 'clear cache' before I enter the page and try so save settings:
http://www.dannyjoris.be/files/fora/simplenews_flush_cache_before.swf

A 'clear cache' on the page where I encounter the problem:
http://www.dannyjoris.be/files/fora/simplenews_flush_cache_on_page.swf

None of them worked. It's very weird that I only encounter this problem on "admin/settings/simplenews/mail" ...

Thanks for your help.
Cheers,
Danny

Try again without rootcandy.

danny_joris’s picture

Hi Sutharsan,

The exact same type of errors occur with Garland theme and Aquia Marine theme, while Rootcandy was disabled.

"page not found" when saving and theme breaking when refreshing the page.

Installed modules: although I installed all of the modules in the past month, there are a few updates to do... I'll try that and, I'll report back.

I haveno idea what this can cause. You may try to make a copy of the system and disable modules one by one to find out if it is cause by an interference between modules.

rbl’s picture

Same thing for me even on clean installs. I believe this was also reported before, 6 to 12 months ago.

sutharsan’s picture

rbi, reporting is not always enough. If I can not reproduce, you have to do the digging. Go into the code and find the cause.

danny_joris’s picture

Little update: I downloaded the drupal install (I was working online) to an aquia Drupal Stack install (DAMP) with the exact same files (I didn't update Drupal or any other modules yet) and database and I don't experience any issues. The page updates/saves normally...

I'll search further.

--Edit: actually, I don't really know what to look for here. Any suggestions?

danny_joris’s picture

Hi,

This is a comparison between the php settings on my hosting and the one of DAMP.

any suggestions what to look for?

Cheers,
Danny

danny_joris’s picture

In Rootcandy admin/settings/simplenews/mail also does not load the button images. It only happens on that page.
http://www.dannyjoris.be/files/fora/admin-settings-simplenews-mail.png

And it generates an error dblog:
http://www.dannyjoris.be/files/fora/dblog-simplenews.png

And of course there is the normal log:

Hi,

I installed my website on 2 other servers.
One of the same hosting (hostpapa.ca). It failed. Same issue.
And one on other hosting (brighthost.nl). It worked fine.

So could there be any other issue than the php settings? I added a third column that shows the brighthost.nl php results.
http://dannyjoris.be/files/fora/php-debug3.png

I really don't know what to look for. I'll look for some differences, that's all I can do.

I hope this is helpful.
Cheers,
Danny

Hi, I used this snippet to look for differences between hostpapa (server A) and my Wamp/Damp installation (server B) from http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1623681/comparing-2-phpinfo-settings

I continue my monologue... :)

My drupal error log reads these "page not found" errors as: 406.shtml .
When I google for "drupal 406" i found this that might be helpful: http://lists.drupal.org/pipermail/documentation/2005-July/001885.html

On the other hand, I asked for help at the Drupal irc channel and I was suggested to turn of "mod_security".
I found the following page about that on the hostpapa support pages: http://hostpapasupport.com/index.php?_m=knowledgebase&_a=viewarticle&kba... Adding "SecFilterEngine Off" to .htaccess gives an error. However if I add the first snippet on http://drupal.org/node/110219 , which looks like a modified version of that , my admin pages run twice as fast, but the issue still remains...

So it might not be a mod_security issue? :/

danny_joris’s picture

Hello!

This issue has been solved after I contacted my hosting company (hostpapa.ca). They solved it, but didn't give me an explanation yet, though. If I find out, I'll share it here. I'm really happy with this and I suppose you are too, Sutharsan, as this isn't a Simplenews issue/bug... :)

Thanks for your assistance and patience!
Cheers,
Danny

Status: Active » Fixed

I contacted my hosting company and they said that they use mod_security version 2 which cannot be controlled trough .htaccess files.
