Description

Katina Rogers reported:
"Groups pages are silently failing for me; the following pages will not load but display only an empty browser window, no error message:

https://commons.gc.cuny.edu/groups/digital-humanities-initiative/
http://commons.gc.cuny.edu/groups/

I'm using Chrome and the error occurred at 9:42am on Friday, 10/14. I don't need any follow-up or support, just reporting the error."

I'm also using Chrome and am seeing the same thing. Two screenshots attached.

While I'm debugging this, if anyone is able to reproduce reliably, please do the following:

- Append ?bbgd=1 to your URL and reload the page. This will activate a temporary debug mode.
- Take a screenshot of error messages and upload it here

Hi Boone -- this is from the Groups page. Mac / Chrome

This appears to be a bug in the latest version of Chrome. I'm continuing to investigate workarounds.

Actions #9

Updated by Boone Gorges over 7 years ago

I've got a workaround in place. Can I get confirmation that it's working? I'm still looking into root causes.

  • Target version set to Not tracked

The deepest cause I can be sure of is that Chrome is not receiving the end character of some chunk of the page, and is therefore refusing to render it. See http://stackoverflow.com/questions/29894154/chrome-neterr-incomplete-chunked-encoding-error/29990521 for one thread describing the issue.

This error can happen for many different reasons: a fatal error in an output buffers, Apache sending the wrong Content-Length header, improper gzip compression settings. The fact that the issue just started happening makes me think there may be a recent server change or a recent browser upgrade to blame, though it's not clear to me what it would be. I'll follow up with Lihua to rule out some possibilties.

I was able to find a workaround for the moment: disabling opcache. See http://stackoverflow.com/a/29970732. I have no idea why this fixes it. Ray, any thoughts?

Hi Boone -- two questions:

-- will this affect CBOX sites?
-- is this a BuddyPress-wide issue?

(I am seeing NYCDH groups with a problem)

As described above, I'm afraid I don't have any idea about the root cause. I'll follow up if/when I have more info.

I'm trying to duplicate this on cdev, but I cannot. Tested on Chromium 56.0.2888.0 and Chrome 51.

Maybe this only occurs on production?

  • Status changed from Assigned to In Progress

Boone did some investigating and found out that one of our memory caching instances was failing, which was probably the cause of all the other issues today (#6310, #6313).

To temporarily resolve this, we have disabled the instance causing the failure. We will relay this info to Lihua to see if he can run down the cause of the problem.
