Invalid argument: - core_output_filter: writing data to the network

- -

Apache uses the sendfile syscall on platforms - where it is available in order to speed sending of responses. - Unfortunately, on some systems, Apache will detect the presence of - sendfile at compile-time, even when it does not work - properly. This happens most frequently when using network or - other non-standard file-system.

Symptoms of this problem include the above message in the error - log and zero-length responses to non-zero-sized files. The - problem generally occurs only for static files, since dynamic - content usually does not make use of sendfile.

To fix this problem, simply use the EnableSendfile directive to disable - sendfile for all or part of your server. Also see - the EnableMMAP, which can - help with similar problems.
