An unknown response null: :null: was received while processing an ajax call.

I am getting a similar error to: https://www.zen-cart.com/showthread.php?216762-Admin-Login-Not-Working-Cross-Origin-Domain-Issue

I created a test store and upgraded it from 1.5.3 to 1.5.4 using official Zencart upgrade instructions and manually ensuring all customizations were brought along. My test store is configured to work with two domains: store154.essentialjourneys.com and b2b154.essentialjourneys.com. This is done through the use of subdomains provided by my host provider. The store uses the config_sites addon, detects the domain, and then acts appropriately for each domain.

store154 appears to work fine. I can reach it. I can log in. I can place an order.

b2b154 however will display a blank screen and the browser will spin away. When I stop the browser, this message appears:

An unknown response null: :null: :[Exception... "Failure" nsresult: "0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE)" location: "JS frame :: http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.11.1.min.js :: .send :: line 4" data: no] was received while processing an ajax call. The action you requested could not be completed.

I read the previous post and I'm not using .htaccess to do redirects, so the previous post didn't help me. But it seems it is along the same lines though. I'm just not seeing where the problem is.

For the sake of comparison, my production store is using Zencart 1.5 3 and can be found at store.essentialjourneys.com and b2b.essentialjourneys.com. Both domains work well with this store.

Additionally, I am able to log into the Admin area for the 1.5.4 store also.

Any thoughts on where to look or what the issue might be?

Thanks!

Tom

you are having a redirect problem of some sort.

in you press, f12 to open the developer tools (in chrome or firefox) when navigating to your b2b154, and look at your network tab, you will see that you are getting a 302 response and then a redirect to the login page. once at the login page, you are stuck in a loop as it keeps on redirecting you to the login page.

so the first question is whether you want to redirect everyone who comes to the b2b154 page to immediately go to a login page? if not, you need to track down that problem.

your second problem seems to definitely be javascript related. if you have the developer tools open, and press f1 to get to the settings and then disable javascript, you will see that your login page does load and the redirects stop.

so it does seem like there are 2 separate issues going on; unfortunately i am not familiar with this config_sites addon module. perhaps someone who is can clarify?

good luck.

It'd be useful too to know what you've added to your site to add the ajax code in the first place.

To carlwhat...many thanks for the debugging tips!

I've spent the past few days digging into this and I managed to come up with a fix, but I'm not sure if its a good way to fix this issue. In fact, I have no idea why this issue even occurs. But first, let me give you some details about the site.

As I mentioned earlier, there is a modification to the store called config_sites. I inherited the store several years ago and this mod was in place -- I don't know where it came from. But when a user hits the store with the URLs store154.essentialjourneys.com or b2b154.essentialjourneys.com, both of these subdomains kick off the configure.php file.

Here is a snapshot of the subdomains as set up in Cpanel:

Here is my configure.php file:

configure.php includes the sites_switch.php file:

	$default_server_name1 = 'store154.essentialjourneys.com';
        $default_server_name2 = 'b2b154.essentialjourneys.com';
	$config_file = $default_server_name.'_config.php';

	if(file_exists("includes/config_sites/$config_file")) {

	define('CATEGORIES_ROOT','0');
?>

sites_switch.php will include of the following two files, depending on which subdomain hit the store:

store154.essentialjourneys.com_config.php:

<?php
  define('DIR_WS_CATALOG', '/');
  define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG', '/');
  $template_dir = "store.essentialjourneys";
  define('SITE_NAME','store.essentialjourneys');

?>

b2b154.essentialjourneys.com_config.php:

<?php
  define('DIR_WS_CATALOG', '/');
  define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG', '/');
  $template_dir = "b2b.essentialjourneys";
  define('SITE_NAME','b2b.essentialjourneys');
?>

At some point, modules/pages/index/header.php is executed where it runs this piece of code that determines which page is initially displayed, depending on the subdomain:

// include template specific file name defines

//Start TMT 6/5/2013
//$define_page = zen_get_file_directory(DIR_WS_LANGUAGES . $_SESSION['language'] . '/html_includes/', FILENAME_DEFINE_MAIN_PAGE, 'false');
if($_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] == $default_server_name1 ){

 $define_page = zen_get_file_directory(DIR_WS_LANGUAGES . $_SESSION['language'] . '/html_includes/', FILENAME_DEFINE_MAIN_PAGE, 'false');

 }elseif($_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] == $default_server_name2 ){

 $define_page = zen_get_file_directory(DIR_WS_LANGUAGES . $_SESSION['language'] . '/html_includes/', FILENAME_DEFINE_PAGE_2, 'false');

 }
// End TMT 6/5/2013

require(DIR_WS_MODULES . zen_get_module_directory('require_languages.php'));

I don't believe I have a redirection problem. Here's what I found....this is network log file when coming in with store.essentialjourneys.com...this works completely as expected:

****REPLY MESSAGE 2 of 2 ****

I was finally able to get b2b154 to work by removing template_default/jscript/jscript_framework.php (or otherwise renaming it). With this file gone, the network log file looks like this when coming in with b2b154:

It appears that jscript_framework.php is the culprit, although I don't fully understand why. It is a new file that came with Zencart v1.5.4. My questions are:

1. Can I run the site without the file?
2. Can I delete the template_default directory altogether and run the site without it?
3. Or, is there still some underlying problem here that causes the jscript_framework.php file to execute out of the template_default/jscript directory? (I don't use template_default -- I have separate templates set up for store and b2b).

I apologize for the long winded message...hopefully this information is helpful to you.

Thanks!

Tom

tom,
i have limited time right now to go through your configs and logs, so i will just attempt to answer your questions.

• jscript_framework.php is part of the base package and i believe it sets up some of the ajax and or json processing. it is your modifications that are conflicting with that script.
• that said, i think you can safely remove that file and operate without it. although going forward with newer versions, it "may" represent a problem. frankly, i think ajax and jquery/javascript can really enhance the user experience on zen-cart. unfortunately, for me, i think there are better functions which could make use of ajax than the ones currently utilized in the base package.
• i would NOT delete the template_default directory.
• if your site operates the way you would expect without the jscript_framework.php file, i would just remove that file and move on. going forward though, it would behoove you to track down the conflicts and resolve them. IMHO.

good luck!

A number of improvements were made to both the ajax.php and jscript_framework.php files in v1.5.5. It's advisable to use those. Preferably also to use v155 instead of v154.

Carlwhat and DrByte...many thanks for your responses. For the time being, I'll simply remove the jscript_framework.php file. Longer term, if I'm adventurous, I'll dig deeper into it....while at the same time I'll plan for the 155 upgrade. I'm hoping the v155 upgrade solves the problem! :laugh:
