Inline comments in CSS cause 404 error
Posted: Mon Feb 09, 2015 6:41 pm
CMSMS 1.11.11 - site working well with a .com domain for months.
Client opening in another country, wanted identical site set up at another domain. They sorted out the hosting. I copied database and files, set up site on new domain, tested it all out, front end working fine. Back end appeared to be working fine too.
A few days pass, client comes back (he has full admin access) with a problem when he edits CSS on the new version of the site.
My investigations reveal pressing Submit button when editing a stylesheet gives a 404 error but ONLY for certain inputs.
Stylesheet with a few line returns: saves no problem.
As above with addition of
returns a 404 error. No PHP error is logged.
Change the above (valid) CSS to
and the stylesheet is saved OK.
So the new host doesn't like /* in line comments */. Now I know the cause it's easily prevented.
But what would cause that?
