[FX.php List] [OFF] MPDF geeking after a server config file rebuild

[Leo R. Lundgren]

A more sane approach would probably be to figure out why $thing is not behaving the way you expect, and then act accordingly. Instead of just trying tweaks and buttons.

Try to isolate the matter by making sure you have full logging on (E_ALL | E_STRICT), and if nothing turns up (it's not uncommon in PHP), isolate the matter by simply going into the source code that runs during the request and either step it using xdebug or use dummy debugging (i.e. add an error_log() here, one there, etc, to narrow down the area of the problem). After not too many steps you should be able to tell at which point in the source code the problem happens.

Regards, Leo
