Frequent ""Download Errors" on vB pages

[shri]

I have noticed that I frequently get the following message thrown up by IE.

"Internet Explorer cannot open the Internet site [url]http://www.gandmasti.net/forum/index.php"[/url]

"The download of the specified resource has failed"

This happens a lot on the page listed above. About one out of two or three reloads.

* I've tested over a 33.6K modem dialup and a 512K cable modem connection with the same results.

* The page normally loads till the last category and fails at or below it.

* This happens with or without the Zend Optimiser turned on.

* I am using the default php 4 rc 1 build configuration.

I suspect I have some timing variables messed up or a mysql config messed up.

Any ideas?

Hmmm.. not sure.

What are the values of the timeout variable for php?

PHP.INI has

max_execution_time = 30

I noticed another thread on here about cleaning up the footer variable. I've done that and the problem seems to have gone away.

Additionally, I'm going to increase the number of connections to mysql in php and give it a shot later.

Ugh! This problem came back with the 1.1.2 release also.

max_execution_time = 60
zend_optimizer.optimization_level=7

The problem invariably happens at the place in index.php when its about to echo the $privacyurl variable.

are you still using the RC1? I had a lot of problems that were cleared up when I upgraded to the full release 4.0.0. in fact, with the 1.1.2 I have seen a problem yet. Of course, I'm not doing any imports till late tonight...

Martin,

Did recompile the apache server and installed the released PHP code / new Zend optimiser and I have not yet seen the problem.

Going to run some sort of webstress test to see if it happens.
