In reply to: ERR_EMPTY_RESPONSEFINALLY..
A simple solution that is working for myself and others. You need to change all the ‘absolute url’ references in your site to ‘relative urls’. This is due to the update in APACHE apparently and not even a bug. A simple way to do this is to use the plugin here:
http://wordpress.org/plugins/relative-url/
Simply install and activate. I can now preview and post without problem.
**Keep in mind that if you have multiple images you also may have to manually update their relative path. But there is also a plugin to use that will post all future images with only the relative path**Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: ERR_EMPTY_RESPONSEOh, believe me, they did not want to give me the truth and still havent specifically admitted such. I am only so far able to confirm with the ‘bottom level help desk’. Its very intricate what I have been going through with them and only have learned what I have learned by talking to multiple persons there for help, whom in turn talk to others there, while I am on the phone.
I actually just got off the phone with some new help, while trying unsuccessfully to have my client IP whitelisted, and the person above him was denying mod_sec settings and trying to blame plugins. (Although I have been to the point of disabling all of them with the same problem occurring). When the problem occurs for me I not only lose access to the admin panel and such, I also lose access to just viewing the site from my IP, although it will pull up just fine from other IP’s. Whats happening is their mod_sec settings are blacklisting my IP when I try to send an update to the database, and the downtime lasts anywhere from 5-15min before repeating the cycle again. So if you are able to get godaddy to whitelist your IP then your problems should disappear, at least for the short term. I was not successful in getting them to whitelist mine, however, others have been. Whitelisting our IP is almost in fact admitting its the mod_sec changes and settings, which they do not want to do it seems.
So my first post is more of a hypothetical “this is the exact problem: statement.
Cheers.

In reply to: ERR_EMPTY_RESPONSEI have experienced the same problem for the past 3 months. At times much worst then others. I have spent the past 2 days on phone with support and this is their conclusion:
A few months ago they made ‘modsecurity’ changes to their servers to help prevent against bruteforce wordpress attacks. Well in making these changes they screwed many of us over by limiting the amount of post requests your site or IP can make at a given time -(the post requests can be theme related or plugin related as well which is why not EVERYONE with a wordpress site has these problems).If too many requests are sent, the site will crash out for a limited time. Now here’s the kicker, the only given fix is to upgrade to a dedicated server, costing you a ton more money, or you can run a VPN under your current, which is ridiculous to have to do. Keep in mind that they made these mod_sec changes without notifying any of us they were dong so, and people are still losing their minds trying to figure out the problem with their site.The only REAL conclusion is to move hosting companies. Shame on you Godaddy.
