Forum OpenACS Q&A: OACS 5 "Connection: close" problems

I'm having problems with an OACS5 installation giving "Connection: close" errors in response to any page requests.  Initially the errors began when I mistakenly changed the kernel ForceHostP parameter to something other than 1 or 0, but that seemed to be fixed via a psql update.  At least at that stage I was getting errors written to error.log

Now I am getting the same error but no errors are being written to the error log.  OACS is writing to the log all the time and seems to be running properly in the background but for some reason isn't actually serving any data.

Any ideas?  Could there be a problem with AOLServer?

Thanks,  James

This might be an Aolserver issue. Are you using Aolserver 4? I think you might need 4.02 if so.

It's also been working well for a week or so until I messed with the ForceHostP parameter last night.  I've compared the apm_parameters table with the same table on a fresh installation and they appear identical.  I can't think of anything else that has changed between the time when the installation worked and now.
