Good day
I am hoping someone can advise me
I am the author of a WordPress plugin (php) that makes various uses of AHAH (straight from the wiki here). 99%+ of my users have no problem but two or three receive 404 OK errors returned from each call.

Ouch. Do you mean those users get the error *every* time? For every client?

It can be hard to get good facts from users but yes - this is my understanding (More below)


We have investigated everything as far as I can tell. The environments are not 'different' - Apache/Linux php4 or 5. Permissions are not an issue. If I paste the url of the php file that is being sent to the js/ AHAH routine directly into the browser it returns the correct content with no problem. And typically of course, I cannot reproduce the error but have seen it on a users site.

Just so I understanding:

1. Your plugin users are site owners, who have installed it on your site.

on their site - yes.


2. User A has no problems

3. User B, with an identical server setup, constantly has *their* users getting 404s every time they hit that page, no matter which browser they use

Is that correct?

I cannot be 100% sure yet about server setup and I can not vouch for EVERY browser but in essence this is correct.

So far this has effected 4 out of about 200 installs (this was only released on Saturday). But I had been working with a beta-user who was the first, who DID try several browsers and I do know is hosted on a Linux/Apache server. Indeed his host is also mystified as they have an AHAH based example page which works just fine.

This has to come down to an environmental/set-up issue (I assume) so this morning I have emailed all four users and asked them to supply answers to specific questions around their hosting set up, their WordPress set-up, browsers used and tried, software versions etc. My aim of course is to try and hunt down the common denominator but like many WP users who run blogs, mostly these folk are not technical and it can be hard for them to understand the issues and respond accordingly.

Whether, when the results are in, something will stand out I do not know but meanwhile if there are any tests of ideas anyone has I do have at least one effected user who is willing to try just about anything!

And I am grateful for you coming back to me. its hopefully going to be something basic which are sometimes the hardest to find!

Thanks and regards
Andy

My javascript is, shall we say, 'recently acquired' but I am not doing anything complex - simply populating a div or two. Can anyone possibly suggest where I should look for the source of the problem. before I tear the rest of my hair out?
Any help would be much appreciated
Thanks
Andy
