Low Variables with a WYGWAM field getting File Not Found 404 error upon saving

Brendan Underwood 11 Sep 2012 04:43 problem, active

This is a very strange problem. I'm using LV's and have a few Groups setup. One group has 3 WYGWAM fields in it that previously I was able to save, but now I'm unable to.

I also setup a test WYGWAM field outside of this group and just put a couple of words in it and it saved. As soon as I put an additional paragraph into the field, it then started throwing it off to the File Not Found Error 404 page.

The URL returned on the error is as follows:

http://www.example.com.au/admin.php?D...

Other groups seemed to be redirected back to the group_id though:

http://www.example.com.au/admin.php?D...

I'm totally perplexed by this problem. Whether or not it was the cause, I did recently move the site from one directory to another as we get ready launch, but the EE system directory has not been moved and everything else in the site is working fine. It was occuring under previous versions of LV and WYGWAM so I updated to the latest versions...although I'm still running EE v2.4.

    Hi Brendan,

    Rather weird. When the error occurs, is there a link present in the Wygwam field?

    Also, what are the specs of the webserver (Apache, PHP & MySQL)?

    No link in the WYGWAM field at all. It's weird because say something like this works:

    <p>Bla bla</p>


    But with an additional paragraph like this it craps out:

    <p>Bla bla</p> 
    <p>Bla bla</p>


    It's being run on a new cPanel (Linux) setup. Apache/2.2.22 (Unix), PHP Version 5.3.13, MySQL 5.1.63.

    BTW, I tried a Textarea in there with the same HTML and it also behaves the same as WYGWAM.

    Is this online somewhere? Can I take a look?

    It's bound to be some kind of environmental issue. Either a PHP or Apache setting.
