A problem has cropped up lately on the development server of my former
employer. I do a little work for them now and then and they are being
a little more cautious since I left and trying to test everything on
the development server. Also they have very little Active4D experience.
First, everything is Mac OS X Tiger, 4D 2004 and Active4D 4.5r1.
Development - web server on 4D server
Production - web server on 4D Client
I first noticed the problem when I tried to implement the URLFactory
and custom error pages on the development server. I would get an error
page from Safari saying there were too many redirects, even with
circuits that had no redirects. Clicking the reload button a few times
would eventually bring up the page. I couldn't tell if it was my code
or something else.
I then ran a standalone version of the development structure on a
Leopard MacBook. I would not get the redirect messages, just a blank
page.. Again, several reload would bring up the page.
This problem does not appear to happen on the production server. The
development server also seems very slow compared to what it used to be.
I tried something else today and I happened to have Safari's Web
Inspector open. I started to see all kinds of MIME error. Sometimes a
blank page, sometimes a missing image icon. A few of the errors:
Resource interpreted as document but transferred with MIME type image/
gif. > main
Resource interpreted as image but transferred with MIME type
application/x-javascript. > app.js
Resource interpreted as other but transferred with MIME type
application/x-javascript > w3c-css.gif
The only I can thing I can think of that changed since I left is both
production and development web roots are now git repositories and a
git server is running on development.
Any ideas on what we have screwed up?
Again this is random, but frequent. Sometimes page will load, sometime
one reload will work, other times you need 3 or 4. I'm just glad that
it is not showing up on production, but the mime errors are there -
sometimes! The empty pages also show up in FireFox.
