failed to delete buffer. No buffer to delete.

[Seg]

After migrating my website to a new host and upgrading apache, mysql and php to the latest versions I'm starting to see these errors in my logs and I cannot figure out what they are about.

Error message '8: ob\_end\_clean() [<a href='ref.outcontrol'>ref.outcontrol</a>]: failed to delete buffer. No buffer to delete.
File: /usr/www/domain.com/Sources/Display.php
Line: 965'

So far nothing seems broken to my users though.
Has anyone here seen this before and could point me in the right direction?
Thanks,

I fixed this by changing
output_buffering = Off
to
output_buffering = On
in /usr/local/lib/php.ini then restarting apache.

Ak, I stand corrected- it's still giving the errors. I'm still searching google, has anyone else run into this and fixed it?

Changing the function call to @ob_end_clean() seems to have made the errors stop, but I do not know what adding a @ does.

Hi, to fix this go into your www directory, smf directory, sources, then edit display.php go down to

Code Select Expand

ob_end_clear();
and change it to:

Code Select Expand

if (ob_get_length() > 0) { ob_end_clean(); }

Kind regards - Payton

Not sure if that does fix the issue or not, but...

Well, it's a temporary fix...
