Problem found: the DNS on the server was still redirecting to the old server. The site here was'nt using Dynamicweb.


Hi,

I have got a problem. When I call PDF=true (doesnt matter on which page in my site) a PDF is created but I get an error in the document.
The strangest thing is that when I do this from a different url (there are 2 urls to this site) it does work.
There arent any absolute urls in my site only relative urls so this cannot be a problem.

I can show it but I dont want to post the urls here.
can you help me please?

Regards,
Tom Neij

It is a DNS issue.

When doing pdf=true the the server is doing a http request to it self.

So on the server, if a ping to hostname returns an external ip that cannot be reached from the server itself, pdf=true will not work.

So adding the hostname to hosts file with 127.0.0.1 will solve the issue.
