Invision Community 4: SEO, prepare for v5 and dormant account notifications By Matt Monday at 02:04 PM
Jeffrey Roberts Posted June 30, 2021 Posted June 30, 2021 (edited) Ever since I updated my forum to 4.6.2, topics on the forum index page and in forums themselves are being "downloaded" rather than displayed when you click on them. It's not consistent, ie: it doesn't happen every time. It is easily reproducible. https://www.ibspatient.org/community Is anyone else seeing this? Edited June 30, 2021 by Jeffrey Roberts
opentype Posted June 30, 2021 Posted June 30, 2021 (edited) I am not so sure this is related to the update. Probably a server misconfiguration with NGINX. You can test the server response for a link with free services like https://securityheaders.com You want a response of “200” but your server tries a 304 redirect (that fails). You need to find out why that occurs. Edited June 30, 2021 by opentype
Jeffrey Roberts Posted June 30, 2021 Author Posted June 30, 2021 Thanks for that hint at what might be the cause. When I upgraded to 4.6.2 I also updated the PHP to 7.4.20 from 7.3.28. That seems to have been the problem. I reverted back to 7.3.28 and everything is working fine again. I wonder if I need some specific directives with 7.4.20? Anyways - Thank you!
Jeffrey Roberts Posted July 8, 2021 Author Posted July 8, 2021 I revisited this and upgraded PHP to 7.4.20 from 7.3.28. This time I cleared all the caches as I suspected this was actually a cache problem. Seems to have worked! Everything is working normally. AnonymousWebHacker 1
