OpenCart Community

My Feed has stopped working,

No error messages in IE just

Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage

In Google Chrome I get this error.

No data received
Unable to load the webpage because the server sent no data.
Here are some suggestions:
Reload this web page later.
Error 324 (net::ERR_EMPTY_RESPONSE): The server closed the connection without sending any data.


In Firefox I just get a white page, nothing in the source.

I Have tried Google base, Google Base improved and Jays version of Google Base Improved.
I have check error logs in Opencart and Error Logs on the server, nothing there. Im stumped, please help!?

Anyone, any ideas?

IE should have "Show more information" option. RSS feed error reporting is the only thing IE does well.

Nothing helpful in the more information option, just

This problem can be caused by a variety of issues, including:
•Internet connectivity has been lost.
•The website is temporarily unavailable.
•The Domain Name Server (DNS) is not reachable.
•The Domain Name Server (DNS) does not have a listing for the website's domain.
•There might be a typing error in the address.
•If this is an HTTPS (secure) address, click Tools, click Internet Options, click Advanced, and check to be sure the SSL and TLS protocols are enabled under the security section.

Ok,

So ive been looking into this problem that ive been having with the Google Base feed and Google base improved feed.

If i do a fresh install of Opencart, (none of my old information from DB or anything) i do not get the error.

If i do a fresh install and then restore my DB from the Opencart Backup/Restore, then I still get the error.

So correct me if im wrong, something in the database must be causing the error?

Any ideas on what this could be? Again, there are no errors correlating to this in the database or in Opencart.

Any help would be grateful.

Thank you.

Can nobody offer any insight on what could be causing this?

As you rightly said, it is clearly something to do with the feed data content breaking the xml, not being sanitized correctly etc.

When you run the feed URL in a browser, can you grab the content of what is returned from 'View Source' etc.

Then try running it through a validator such as http://www.w3schools.com/xml/xml_validator.asp

Nothing is being generated in the Source either, i get the same error as i do normally. So I cannot even validate the XML, it doesn't even seem to get that far.

what is the URL to your feed ?

PM me if you dont wish to publicise

I know I'm a year and a half late, but just wanted to say thanks! The validator ( http://www.w3schools.com/xml/xml_validator.asp) worked like a charm! It ended up being one item that was causing the problem, I deleted and the feed is up and running seconds later! THANKS SO MUCH uksitebuilder!!!
