XF 1.4 Watch forums: The server responded with an error

ibrian · Nov 26, 2014

Attempting to click "watch forum" on my boards is resulting with an error:

The following error occurred
The server responded with an error. The error message is in the JavaScript console.
Console details, hopefully useful?

Code:

The error isn't obvious to me. Is there anything in the log?

Admin CP -> Tools -> Server Error Log

As it's a link for registered users, I can't see the exact link to determine what's going on, but it certainly looks like a certain type of error has been thrown and you've been redirected by Apache. This is probably something like mod_security. In your .htaccess, you can add:

Code:

ErrorDocument 401 default
ErrorDocument 403 default
ErrorDocument 404 default
ErrorDocument 405 default
ErrorDocument 406 default
ErrorDocument 500 default
ErrorDocument 501 default
ErrorDocument 503 default

And that may show the real error. Any log would actually be in your web server error log.

I'm afraid nothing is coming up in my server logs at the moment, and I've copied Mike's error codes into the .htaccess file.

You can see the issue directly if you go here:
http://www.sffchronicles.com/forum/babylon-5/

and click on "Watch forum"

Is that of any help?

Requires login.

Mike indicated that this appears to be web server interference in which case a specific error message might be in the error log on the server itself (not in XF). You will probably need to consult with your web host to examine those logs.
