 * I was receiving this error from a php internal server while developing and testing.
   I found this [StackExchange post](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/29141240/php-local-server-invalid-request-unexpected-eof/41861656#41861656)
   in which I found a comment that this is caused by empty `<script ...></script
   >` text I then searched for `</script>` at the RootDirectory and found wp-admin/
   about.php @ line 55 contained the above occurrence. I modified this to remove
   the `</script>` and use `<script ... />` form instead. This caused the invalid
   request to not be given and speeded up the page resolution.

   you edited.
