When the "drupal" module (the one that allows you to register your site with other Drupal sites) is enabled, whenever I edit some items under "settings" (for example, administer >> settings >> poormanscron, or even administer >> settings >> drupal to configure the "drupal" module itself), I get an error message when I save the configuration. The error message looks like this:

ERROR
The requested URL could not be retrieved

While trying to retrieve the URL: http://furrykef.site/drupal/admin/settings/poormanscron

The following error was encountered:

* Zero Sized Reply

Squid did not receive any data for this request.

The thing that sticks out for me is that the URL starts with http://furrykef.site/ instead of http://www.furrykef.com/. Why's it doing that? I don't know if the "furrykef" in "furrykef.site" is from mangling my domain name or the administrator login name.

This only happens when configuring certain modules; other items in the "settings" panel work fine. Also, it does seem to save the configuration correctly; it's just that it directs me to that error page afterward, instead of the page I was at. While it's no big deal, it's still something of a nuisance. What's going on?

The issue still occurs in 4.7.1, too.

Check yout htaccess file. I can't replicate this issue on my system (IIS).

I don't see anything in the .htaccess that looks suspicious. The .htaccess is pretty much as it was out of the box, though I added "Options -MultiViews" (I have Drupal in a subdirectory for now, and everything outside that subdirectory uses "Options MultiViews"), but that can't be it since MultiViews is supposed to be off for Drupal anyway.

I'm getting this exact same issue. I cannot save changes to the main settings page anymore. Though I can save settings to other modules.

The funny thing is, I'm running a multisite setup and none of the other sites encounter this error. I've replaced the .htaccess file again with the one from the archive (4.7.1) and still no luck. This is begining to irritate.

Thanks

I was working with my web host on this matter and he said:

"Ok, whatever Drupal is doing there, it's causing the Apache process handling the request to crash with a segmentation fault. That's why you're getting your Zero-Sized Reply. "

BTW, the server is Apache/1.3.36, and the PHP version is 4.4.2.

Hello. I am experiencing a similar issue. I have a local mirror of my 4.7.3 upgrade production site on my windows box. I only have a few contributed modules: img_assist, marksmarty, voting. As soon as I copy the 4.7.0 "poormanscron" module into my 'modules' directory, localhost drupal installation crashes.

Due to this, I am resisting putting this on my production site, so the immediate problem is my site is NOT BEING INDEXED. I've never set up a cron job before but I'm thinking I might have to do that. If the poormanscron owner cannot reproduce and fix this issue, is there another module someone can recommend? Do you recommend that I just create cron jobs? Can you provide a link on how to do that? I'm hosting my installation at Bluehost who uses Cpanel10.

I used the XAMPP installer and run the PHP, MySQL and Apache versions that come with it by default as of this writing (Aug. 08 2006).

Getting the same zero sized reply whenever I run the cron.php - setting the "Number of items to index per cron run" at the search-settings page to 10 seemed to help, whenever I set it to 20 it gives zero sized again.

Slowly but surely the cron is indexing the site 10 per run, 3660 items to go ;D
