  When I try to access my site I get a “no data received” error unless I use the “https://” prefix. This continues to be the case regardless of whether or not I have https enabled in my wordpress blog settings. I am using Google Chrome Version 28.0.1500.71, and the error I receive is

  “Unable to load the web page because the server sent no data.
  Error code: ERR_EMPTY_RESPONSE”

  Thanks for your help,
  Ari

  anonymouse197, where are you located and which ISP are you using?

  Hi,

  Thanks for the responses, yes I’m with TalkTalk and I’m located in the north of England. They have told me that they are not experiencing any connectivity issues, and that my internet should be working as normal.

  I have tried re-installing some browsers, and I not getting these errors when using Safari or Firefox, so I think the problem is probably browser based, although re-installing Google Chrome (including all support files) has not solved the problem.

  I have filed an error report with Chrome to see if they can see anything on their side.

  Thanks again,
  A

  I was advised by TalkTalk forum to change server setting from automatic 0.0.0.0 to 8.8.8.8
  and that seems to have solved the issue
  so far?

  I was getting no errors with connecting to any other website with Chrome other than wordpress …

  Well that sounds promising, what server settings were those exactly?

  Odd though as I can see one of my blogs with wordpress.com but not the other.
