Hi,
Every so often, I upload a new file to my server and it seems to cause the whole system to break. On my localhost, I can still access my site, but on my server it just says "Waiting for *url*..." indefinitely. It doesn't time out, or show anything.
I can fix this by re-uploading the entire /system/ directory to the server, then it works just fine. Is this a problem with my server (it's Dreamhost), the way I'm uploading/editing files (Coda) or CodeIgniter?
I'm new to CodeIgniter and OOP, but not to PHP, and configuring servers makes me want to scream, so treat me like a moron if it comes to that please!
Thanks,
Isaac
EDIT 1
It may be difficult for me to try out any suggestions until it next happens - which could be in 10 mins, or tomorrow, or longer.
I've had a look at the Apache logs, and it looks like a 404 error looking for /internal_error.html occurs every time this problem happens. There's also the occasional "Premature end of script headers: php5.cgi"
Next time it occurs, I'll check out the CI logs, but these have been emptied since I re-uploaded /system/
EDIT 2
It's happened again. I've checked the CI logs, and nothing shows up. I've got maximum logging, but it's not showing anything more interesting than Initialisation of classes and Sanitisation of POST and COOKIE data.
I'm going to try uploading one file at a time to try and nail down one file as the culprit.
EDIT 3
Well, that failed dismally. I uploaded stuff folder-by-folder and it didn't change a thing. I've got some 503 Service Unavailable errors poking up their ugly heads every so often too now. I'm now uploading and "Merge"-ing all folders, while "Replace"-ing all files. ie. not deleting all files from the server before replacing them... That doesn't work either.
I'm deleting each sub-folder of /system/ one by one and re-uploading it. That doesn't work either. Trying just deleting the whole /system/ folder and re-uploading it. This works.
Neither /system/plugins or /system/scaffolding is to blame - it works before they're re-uploaded.
