I have a dynamic site I have made on PHP/MySQL and recently I have experienced a weird issue - sometimes (about once in four times) when I reload the active page the safari web browser (on a mac) automatically downloads the xxxx.php page rather than reloading it! I am trying to figure out what could be causing this, but i have no idea. Any suggestions?
The Content-Disposition HTTP Header is the only thing I can figure. Is there any way you can post something that we can test?
could it be with the .htaccess? I had a similar problem last month and I had to change some entries in my .htaccess, the shared server may have changed Apache's settings and it sopped working properly.

I have recently added a SSL Certificate to my website but it’s causing issues with some functionality no longer working when the site is accessed with https. The tabs, accordion and menu doesn’t work on the https version on the below links for example.
http://waflfootyfacts.net/player/stats.php?PlayerID=4764
https://waflfootyfacts.net/player/stats.php?PlayerID=4764
Any idea where I can start looking at the fix? Is this a common thing that can happen with SSL?
I am not a web developer and had an old work mate help me with the site and I’ve been self-taught since and this has stumped me.
I am using metro-bootstrap css and am using relative paths throughout the site except on the header where I am using absolute paths
I eventually found the issue - I had a JS loader that was loading http script
For months we have been struggling with a weird issue on 1 of our Wordpress Network installations. We have 4 installations on 1 VPS and only one of the four installations generates this error.
The problem is that pages on all sites that run on that Wordpress Network installation, randomly(?) seem to try and parse the page as being RSS content. See this screenshot:

This only happens once per session (if it does at all) and after refreshing the page, all is good. This makes it extremely hard to fix, because debugging is almost impossible.
Whenever the issue seems to appear, the (RSS) content that is being displayed, is that of a different page..
Could this be a Wordpress issue, or could this be an issue in the Apache config?
Some domains we are encountering this on:
http://www.skynetsg.co.za/
http://www.workplacestrategies.co.za/
http://www.beachbreaks.co.za/
I hope there is someone that could help me solve this issue!
Update:
I just had the issue on the page: http://www.skynetsg.co.za/peter-sserwanga/ that was newly created. I checked the apache logs and they show nothing strange, just a 200 OK header..
Below is a link that may fix your problem. If your running WHM/Cpanel, you may have to recompile apache with out certain modules.

I am part of the developer team for a quite a large online system using ASP.NET(4).
Asp.net Ajax completely breaks down for Webkit browsers and we are getting full page postbacks when we should be getting partial only for the UpdatePanels.
I am starting to believe it has something to do with my Application Configuration, mainly for the following reasons.
If I move the ajax enabled controls to a new project they will work as expected for all browsers, including Webkit.
I created a static .aspx file with nothing but an UpdatePanel,ScriptManager and a button making a literal visible on click.
I get no Javascript errors from any browser, and i see an http request for the asp.net-ajax (ScriptResource.axd) in both Firebug and Chrome Developer tools
I tried ye'old safari fix from this highly referenced thread
Edit: After a bit more testing and http sniffing i noticed a major difference between the test application and the actual application. The test application generates 2 additional .axd files which are not generated from the actual application. These WebResource.axd, seem to contain data related to the async postback. However this is only the case for Webkit browsers. The WebResource.axd files are generated for Firefox as i can see them in firebug
What i am asking from the community, is any ideas or suggestions as to what could be the cause of this problem and if i am correct to assume that the problem is probably on the server side
Thanks for any help
The problem was due to a deprecated config file that's used to limit the content that bots/spiders/crawlers receive, which was loading by mistake thanks to our lovely inhouse CMS
In short if u get behavior similar to my case, check your or configs
I was having a similar issue however my problem was with all browsers and not just webkit. I ended up going through and tearing up the web.config file and found out that a line: <xhtmlConformance mode="Legacy"> was preventing webresource.axd from working properly. The fix was to simply remove that line from my web.config file.
For a little more information on xhtmlConformance, visit http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/librarY/ms228268(v=vs.85).aspx.
If you scroll all the way to the bottom you'll notice it explicitly states that it causes issues with webresource.axd and scriptresource.axd.
I just installed MediaWiki on a website and I am having some problems.
Whenever I go to "www.something.com/wikidir" the server gives me the PHP index file as an unnamed download instead of displaying it.
However, if I go to "www.something.com/wikidir/index.php" everything works as expected.
I'm not familiar with Apache and was wondering if someone could tell me how to fix this or point me in the right direction?
I'm using a LAMP stack and Mediawiki 1.7.1 (old I know).
In my .htacces file I have:
AddType application/x-httpd-php5 .php
Sounds like Apache (or PHP?) is serving the page as an application/octet-stream. You can check this by looking at the response headers on the non-index.php page. Firefox can do this using the Web Developer Toolbar > Information > View Response Headers. Look for "Content-Type"
Or, Does the non-index.php link work in IE? Does it go straight to download in Firefox (or another browser)? If the answer is yes, that's the problem.
How to fix it is more complex because there could be a bunch of different things that are causing this. My guess is that's it's an Apache config issue.
Edit
Check your .htaccess file. Make sure it's readable by Apache. I bet that's the issue.
I just upgraded my browser to Safari 4 and find that our website is having some major issues specific to that browser version. As I click through pages on our site it takes one or two clicks before the browser window simply goes blank. When the window goes blank, there is no source to view and no matter how many times I try to reload or if I try to load other pages of the site, I still get the blank window. It's as if the server takes the request and simply returns a blank page.
If I wait over 15 seconds and then hit refresh again, the page loads fine. Not sure why it starts working again... Maybe a cache issue???
It's a PHP site and I've tried turning on error_reporting(E_ALL);, but that doesn't give any information. I also tried putting an echo statement at the very beginning of the index.php file and verified that the page still goes blank without echoing that statement, so I'm thinking the problem is not php code specific. The Apache error log does not show any issues. I have the same site on my local development server and it doesn't have the problem.
Safari 4 is the only browser that shows this problem. Does anyone have any ideas how to debug/fix this?
My webserver is ubuntu Hardy running Apache 2 an Mysql 5.
We have an nginx load balancer in front of the apache server and I just figured out that Safari 4 requires the nginx keepalive_timeout setting to be 0. Took all day to figure that one out...
I've been having the same issue with Safari 4 on my site but found that when reloading pages that return blanks, the request never even makes it to the server. No entry shows up in Apache's logs.
The keepalive setting for your LB sounds like a direction I could sniff in. Not sure what leeway I will have though, being on shared hosting.

This looks to be a safari bug. We experience it too, and I have read other reports.
