Firefox wont load home page haikuware.com after navigating from home page

Description

There is a problem with Firefox not being able to load certain web pages but this bug is specific to haikuware.com home page. To reproduce:

  1. go to: www.haikuware.com in Firefox.
  2. Click on any link that will stay in haikuware but leave the home page.
  3. Click on the home page link.

Result is; a window pops up asking what to do with "index.php". If you browse from that window to open with Firefox, it will open the download window for downloading "index.php". It is repeatable every time. karl at www.haikuware.com says there is nothing wrong with the web site; he has cross checked with firefox in Senryu, Linux, Mac OS and Windows. I have also checked with BeOSR5.05 BONE and Linux. There is no problem clicking on the home page link

I can second Karl's opinion. It's definitely not a Haikuware problem so it must be something with the Haiku configuration of your installation or a problem with Firefox.

I cannot repeat this in Vmware, Haiku rev 28727. What type of Haiku image are you using and where did you get it? What revision? Firefox version and origin? Vmware/qemu/real hardware?

comment:3 by HAL, 16 years ago

I'm usung: pre-alpha-hrev28724 on real hardware, previously the same with pre-alpha-hrev28555. Also the same Firefox 2.0.0.12 that comes with images and now with Firefox 2.0.0.18. I got the Haiku images from: http://haiku-files.org/raw/index.php?dir=&sort=name&order=desc and I got Firefox 2.0.0.18 from: www.bebits.com I am thinking not a lot of people can reproduce this. On Bezilla Live Journal I replied about the release of Ff 2.0.0.18 and I think only one person had seen something similar. On Haikuware I started a thread: http://www.haikuware.com/forum/website/443-recannot-click-on-home-page-icon#443 only one person there had the same bug.

I assume you are running Apache, how have you set up mimetypes for php? Usually when this happens, this seems stranger though, it's because the website hasn't configured Apache to send the text/html mimetype for different cgi-bin applications. A browser is supposed to handle the content according to that mimetype, if it's unknown it doesn't know and guesses. Some browsers manages that, some don't. I just want to make sure that you DO have configured that so I can exclude that option. It something you have to do manually, so if you havn't touched it, you need to do that.

I also tried to reproduce this in vmware 2.5.1, Haiku pre alpha hrev28724 on Mandriva linux as host. It was reproduceable.

HAL, please move this to http://ports.haiku-files.org with a component of www-client / mozilla-firefox

If it is not reproduceable anymore do you still want me to do this. I have not come across HaikuPorts before. To me it looks more like a programmers site and I am not a programmer or only very limited to BASIC. Sorry, I suppose I could try if there is a need now.

If you can't reproduce it, then no, i wouldn't bother creating the ticket. Though in the future, if you encounter an issue specific to BeZillaBrowser, it would be best to report the issue as a New Ticket at http://ports.haiku-files.org.

ticket can be closed.
