panzerscope Posted July 20, 2022 Author Posted July 20, 2022 Really ? I must have missed that memo. Hmmm. So what avenues are there if you are getting an issue you cannot explain. I have spoken with server admin etc and our only other avenue was to speak with IPS regarding the issue.Â

The original client was incorrectly assuming that priority support was the only way to receive support, I was correcting that assumption. I never stated that priority support was or was not offered. However, we only offer support which is conduct through our forum here (there is no priority support). The Dark Wizard 1

However since doing so, we are experiencing some issues. We have tried the standard avenues of disabling all 3rd part plugins, clearing system caches and ensuring our CloudFlare service was disabled. However the issues persist, we even completely re-installed our VPS server to make sure that was not an issue. We are seeing lots of 404 related errors which we cannot resolve at a server level and believe there must be something wrong with the software, or we are simply missing something. For example. In AdminCP, If I run a search, say for a username the system stalls and generates the following errors:  I can also just be browsing AdminCP and just get the following, where it cuts out completely: The 404 errors can also be replicated when on the "Marketplace" section of AdminCP. When searching for something I get the following: Furthermore, though less "breaking", is if I am on a page and I scroll up and down, I will continually generate the following errors: Ultimately, whatever is causing the 404 errors is the main concern as it is breaking backend and front end items. It would be great if we can have someone come in and have a look. I did fill out all the Access details in our client area for the server access as well as supplying an admin login for IPS. Let me know what the next steps are 🙂 Many thanks, P Â
Jim M Posted July 22, 2022 Posted July 22, 2022 When I renamed your .htaccess file, I am no longer encountering these errors. I would suggest removing everything in your .htaccess file except for our URL rewrites and try again. Something looks to be redirecting or mis-interrupting requests there. panzerscope 1

Hello Jim, We tried this with having just a .htaccess file with the below, but we still see the issues we were having before. Any idea ?

Jim M Posted July 22, 2022 Posted July 22, 2022 Unfortunately, when viewing, I am no longer receiving the 404 error in the ACP or the errors mentioned on the front-end. panzerscope 1
panzerscope Posted July 22, 2022 Author Posted July 22, 2022 That is strange. I will try a different machine/Internet connection as even in Incognito mode, those errors persist. Will report back.
panzerscope Posted July 22, 2022 Author Posted July 22, 2022 This is so strange. I have just tried on a completely different machine on a completely different internet connection, using Chrome Incognito/Firefox and still the same issues.  I am not arguing, just that I cannot replicate the good state you are seeing. I have also had some colleagues in different geolocations try, they see the same issues.  We will run through going back to IPS stock, and run through everything systematically to see if that solves anything.
Jim M Posted July 22, 2022 Posted July 22, 2022 I can't explain what is happening either. Everything is fine from this end. If it was a software issue, I would expect it to remain an issue regardless. If you're using a load balancer, CloudFlare, proxies, etc..., I would suggest reducing your complexity and making things simpler to get it working then add in complexity. panzerscope 1
A Zayed Posted July 22, 2022 Posted July 22, 2022 I can confirm that 404 error, for ACP live search: Â The main concern is that, for some reason, if you're installing/upgrading app or plugin, if the installer ajax wizard failed, you got thrown to front-end with an error of "The page you requested doesn't exist". The question, Why ajax requests fail sometimes? SeNioR-, panzerscope and OptimusBain 3

Typically, this is encountered with mod_security and other security modules. panzerscope 1
A Zayed Posted July 22, 2022 Posted July 22, 2022 mod_security is disabled now, but the live search 404 issue still there. panzerscope 1

I'm afraid, you will want to continue to simplify your environment as I am unable to reproduce this. It seems each step that you're taking to simplify it keeps removing errors so if you are unable to find any errors logs, simplifying it down to a basic server may be your only choice. If you have any caching, at any level, you will want to disable it completely. You may wish to check all server permissions, including file/folder ownership as that may impact things additionally. While I would expect this to be a global issue, it may be further impacted if there is any caching. panzerscope 1
Marc Posted July 25, 2022 Posted July 25, 2022 Just to note, I would advise on ensuring you disable all 3rd party items there as many items showing up are 3rd party related in those messages panzerscope 1
panzerscope Posted July 27, 2022 Author Posted July 27, 2022 Hello all, We found the cause of the issue, it was one of the 3rd party plugins indeed. It was a "Back To Top" plugin that was causing a big headache. We also made some adjustments to mod_security and HTaccess. All seems well at the moment. I appreciate the help very much! All the best, P
