Mail sending page not refreshing

[AlanT]

I know this has been answered before, but I can't seem to find it anywhere.

When I'm sending a broadcast, the screen does not show the normal display with the message delivery progress.  I get a page loading indicator, then the page comes up after the mailing is completed.

I seem to recall that this is a setting on my server, either in WHM or in an .htaccess file, but I can't remember what it was.

Does someone know what I'm looking for?

Thanks.

Hi Alan,

in /etc/php.ini

Code: [Select]

output_buffering = Off
mod_gzip may also need to be disabled.

In the future I plan to move to an AJAX-based counter so output_buffering can remain enabled.

Regards

Hi Dean,

Thanks for the suggestion.  Somehow that doesn't seem familiar.  I thought there was a way of doing this on the directory level so that output buffering could be enabled on other parts of the site.

For now, I'm willing to forego the buffering on the whole site, so I'll take your suggestion.

I hear you're working on the next version, and I'm excited to see what you come up with.  Please keep us posted as to your progress.

Here's a bit of followup.

I found something that turns off gzip compression through .htaccess, which has solved my problem.

mod_gzip_on no

I will admit that we've made a few other changes to the server set up, so it may not quite be as simple as that, but from what I see, this is what's fixed it for me.

For reference, we upgraded PHP from 4.4.7 to 5.2.0 through WHM, which means that Apache was rebuilt in the process.  We're also running Apache 1.3.
