Server Error (500) When Saving an Entry

    When a field containing an equal sign (=) in an entry is programmatically saved (in a snippet), we are getting a HTML 500 error message. Running 2.8.5. Happens on paragraph fields. When the equal sign is deleted, the entry saves correctly. When editing a pod entry directly, the equal sign doesn’t seem to matter, only happens when doing a “pod->save” function. This started with install of version 2.8.5.

    Thanks for the notice.
    Please file a bug with code sample of how you’re using ->save() so we can help get this resolved.

    The pod->save is on line 517 in the portion of the snippet below. The field where there is a possibility of an equal sign (=) is $action_log.

    Hi @rolandksmith

    I’m not sure where to start debugging this.
    Could you also share the debug log and stack trace?
    It will give us more insight into where this issue might come from.

    Cheers, Jory

    If you’d like to set a time I can do a Zoom meeting with you and demonstrate the problem. I can be available tomorrow (Friday) afternoon and most of the day on Monday and Tuesday. I’m in Mountain Standard Time. The program section I posted is only one of several programs that fail if there is an equal sign in the action_log field. The problem started when we upgraded to v5.8.5.

    Hi @rolandksmith

    No need for a video meeting, a 500 error doesn’t provide any information on itself. You’ll have to enable debug mode and check the server logs.

    We have run the jobs that fail with a 500 error with debug turned on. Nothing is being written to debug.log. The server log has the following entry (how do I attach a file to a post?):

    [Fri Nov 26 11:20:15.537441 20211 [access compat:error] [pid 453108:tid 47614808676096] [client 109.177.78.222:39734] AH01797: client denied by server configuration: /home/cwopsorg/public_html/xmirpc.php

    We remove the equal sign from the action_log field and the program runs as expected.

    Do you see any errors when you enable debug display?

    
define( 'WP_DEBUG', true );
define( 'WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY', false );

    Modified the wp-config.php file as requested. Ran several jobs. Nothing was written at all to debug.log. It is an empty file. Each job we ran posted the same message to the server log. When the equal sign was removed, each job functioned properly.

    There is nothing in xmlrpc.php that suggests what component posted the error message.

    Hi @rolandksmith

    I’m curious whether you still encounter this issue on the latest version of Pods.
    Let me know!

    We were finally able to do some testing with 2.8.8.1. The issue with an equal sign (+) in a paragraph text field causing the save not only to fail but the system to return a 500 error no longer happens. So this problem is resolved in my opinion. Thanks for all you do on this project! … Roland
