mozilla or firefox : "ALERT document contains no data!"
hy penguens,
i have a trouble with mozilla and firefox. it sometime gives an error "documents contains no data" on the screen. this happened after updating packets. i deleted ~/.mozilla directory. also remove firefox and mozilla with "rpm -e" command and install them(uptade packets) "rpm -i" command. but still no luck. any help would be much appreciated.
It means that the web page you recived was an empty. Reasons for why the page is empty might be:
-The page really is empty.
-There is a connection problem with the web server on the other end.
it hapens when i click on a link or opening any page. after second click on same link it opens the page. it randomly gives this error for all of web sites. i also tried to connect trou my ISP proxy server. but no luck.
i wont try other browsers because i saw similiar error when i try to ssh to somewhere. it says "connect: Resource temporarily unavailable". after second try i would be able to connect. ping also gives same error. i think u right about connection trouble. but i think this tourble is on my side.
i dont know what happened during updating packets. maybe it couldnt update some of packets. do u know an easy way to check packets ? or is it a good idea to remove all of packets that updated without depency check and install them back?
I tried all versions of firefox mozilla, and all of the showed me this message with a blank page randomly.
There an other reason for this: when the bit rate is slow it shows 'the document is empty' permanently, is your connexion slow?
it is not slow so much. i have 256/64 k ADSL. i can download files about 25kbyte/second.
i think there is a trobule with something networking related packets. i remebered that i installed freeswan (IPSEC based VPN server) for testing yesterday. and i have just removed it. i didnt get that error yet, after uninstalling it. i will keep browsing to make sure that.
I had worked with freeswan last year but I don't think that it is the cause, I don't have it installed now. But try to desactivate iptables for a moment. I think that it is the origin of many of my troubles.
it seems that uninstalling freeswan fixed the trouble. i didnt get any error after uninstalling freeswan. maybe i couldnt install freeswan well. actually i dont need a VPN server. i have already poptop doing same job. i just like to install and learn about new softwares
btw: i dont have any iptables rules. because my box is already behind a firewall.
I think that might have been your problem right there...having 2 VPN server software running at the same time...it's always a good idea if your testing new software and you already have software that does the same thing to shutdown the other software.
My working space configuration is Apache, MySQL, PHP. I had this same message "ALERT document file no data" when I wanted to upload a file of more than 503ko. The server administrator fixed it. It came from a parameter in Apache "php.conf" file named LIMIT REQUEST BODY limited by default at 524 288 octets. I don't know the security issues related if you change it but this worked fine for me.
