# ERR_EMPTY_RESPONSE when posting comments

 * Hi,
 * My site was working well on my own server, but now in the client’s one, post 
   comments are going to a wp-comments-post.php page and showing a ERR_EMPTY_RESPONSE
   error.
 * I tried deactivating all plugins, changing theme, changing the name of the plugins
   folder, playing around with comments settings… But I am afraid the problem is
   somewhere deeper. Maybe on the hosting setup (I have contacted them, but have
   not heard from them yet).
 * Here’s the problematic site: [http://ateneu.elteu.cat/participa/](http://ateneu.elteu.cat/participa/)
 * Any clues?
 * Thanks

 * What did you do before this error occurred?

 * Nothing really, this is the first time I try posting comments on this server.
   Before moving the site there, comments were fine.
 * Same theme, same plugins, etc… [http://tailorandwayne.com/ateneuelteu/?p=73](http://tailorandwayne.com/ateneuelteu/?p=73)

 * – Please check the error logs on your server for a more specific error message
   and see why it’s failing. If you need help locating them, ask your hosting provider
   to help you with that.
    – If you cannot find error logs or if you don’t find 
   any helpful info in the error logs, try [Enabling debugging ](http://codex.wordpress.org/Debugging_in_WordPress)

 * Thanks.
 * The server logs don’t show any error at the time the frontend crashes. I get 
   these errors on any page, when I enable debugging, but they also happen in my
   server, so they don’t seem to be related to the problem:

 * I’m trying to reply here, but my posts keeps disappearing. I just wanted to say
   that logs or debugging do not show anything related

 * Yes, And I have tried re-uploading the WordPress system (I was already on the
   latest version), disabled all plugins, changed the folder name to force-disable
   them…

 * In fact, I just installed a clean WordPress instance on the same server and comments
   still don’t work: [http://ateneu.elteu.cat/test/2017/02/21/hello-world/](http://ateneu.elteu.cat/test/2017/02/21/hello-world/)

 * And I’ve tried changing .htaccess to anything I could find online, related to
   comments.
 * I really am at a loss. Is there some php or apache setting that I should look
   into?

 * Thanks but no, I already went through all the related Google results. The problem
   is not on my browser or computer or Internet service. Do you not experience the
   same problem when commenting on the links I provided?

 * I faced the same error but it was browser issue for me. It wasn’t anything wrong
   with my site or hosting provider. I just open a command prompt and enter few 
   commands to solve this error.
