Just upgraded apache, php, perl and having some strange occassional problems. Pages are returned blank here and there.

Apache/2.0.52 (FreeBSD) PHP/4.3.10 mod_ssl/2.0.52 OpenSSL/0.9.7e mod_perl/1.99_18 Perl/v5.8.5

The only browser that returns an error is Safari, others just blank pages
“bad server response” (NSURLErrorDomain:-1011)

Looking around on the web I can't find a definitive solution but it appears to be a problem with gzip compression going wrong.

Has anyone seen this before and can offer a solution? I've rebuilt apache, openssl, php, gzip multiple times with no luck.

httpd-errors look like

Thanks,

Did you use mod_gzip? If I remember it correctly, it is not quite compatible with Apache 2. Maybe that is why you are having problems. You may want to check out mod_deflate for Apache 2.

Not sure if thats a problem on your side or just a safari bug. I get the same problem all the time on lots of sites (especially older phpbb sites).

If i try and load the same pages in IE I get a "page is null" error.

What pages cause the error?

I'm using Apache 2.0.x with mod_deflate and I have no trouble.
