@Ozzy47

Recent intermittent error since upgrade to Xenforo 2.2.5 and PHP 8.0.6:

ErrorException: [E_WARNING] Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/{owner}/public_html/src/addons/Snog/CountryBan/CloudFlare/CloudflareMiddleware.php:77) job.php:55

I’ll check it out as soon as I can.

I have not had any problems with this add-on whatsoever. Using XF 2.2.5 and php 7.4.18.

I wonder if it is a php 8.x specific error?

 

[Ozzy47]

It probably is.

 

[djbaxter]

It's been 10 days since I posted that error and there's been no recurrence of the errors (on three different forums).

One thing that's changed on all three servers is I re-enabled PHP-FPM (still under PHP8) and increased the number of workers via WHM. That may have been what it was about. Not sure. There have also been a couple of cPanel updates in the interim too.

But in any case, the issue seems to be resolved.

[Ozzy47]

What PHP version are you running?

 

[djbaxter]

PHP 8.07

 

[Ozzy47]

That might be the issue then. I’ll look into it as soon as possible.

 

[gerryvz]

I still have had zero problems with the latest XF version, running php 7.4.20

It's still working for me as well. It's just throwing those errors on one of the forums where it's installed.

I've tried installing this on a couple of my sites and get the following error each time.

Looks like there could be something Cloudflare-related.....

 

[Canada]

I don't use Cloudflare, so I removed the addon and went with Geoblock Registrations 1.1.2 from Hampel.. Works perfect

Already working on my forum www.CanadianForums.ca

 

[PASS]

Is there a log of blocked registrations to see it working? Something like this? I block the IPs in CSF too.

 

[Ozzy47]

No, there is not.

Ozzy47 updated [OzzModz] Country Registration Ban with a new update entry:

Take a backup before installing on a production site.

• Minimal XF version changed to 2.2, PHP 7.2
• General code refactor
• Now uses composer to load...

Read the rest of this update entry...

 

[djbaxter]

@Ozzie47: I'm just getting around to reporting this but it's been happening for several months now. Every so often (e.g., after 3 days since the last error, or 5 or 7 days, or a few weeks....), I'm getting this error:

[E_WARNING] Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/localsearchforum/public_html/src/addons/Snog/CountryBan/CloudFlare/CloudflareMiddleware.php:77)

The site itself is not using cloudflare.

 

[djbaxter]

@Ozzy47 @Snog

This is still a problem more than one forum:

headers already sent by (output started at /home/{domain}/public_html/src/addons/Snog/CountryBan/CloudFlare/CloudflareMiddleware.php:77)

Other OzzySnog addons using Cloudflare that yield the same warning or Errors:

[OzzModz] Country Registration Ban
[OzzModz] OS Browser Display
[Snog] Country Flags by IP Address

Please note:

• this has been going for several months so it's not congestion
• it doesn't matter whether or not I'm running something in another tab or window
• I'm not certain but it doesn't seem to happen every time but rather intermittently at a relatively high rate.
• I look after several Xenforo forums, most of which have one or more of these 4 addons. Those forums display the error periodically despite having different customization and different addons so it seems unlikely that it is an addon conflicy.

Running

• PHP 9.0.13
• Xenforo 2.2.9
• Mod_security not enabled

Upgraded to the latest version last night and now getting what appears to be intermittent errors:

• Error: Template publicAGE_CONTAINER error: Class 'GeoIp2\Database\Reader' not found

Has anyone else come across this?
