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.

thank you for replying

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?

thank you.

Arrow Document is empty

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.

thank you.

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.

fixed

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.

thanks to all for suggestions and ideas.

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.

ALERT message document file no data

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.
