No route found for "GET /mchat/action/refresh": Method Not Allowed (Allow: POST)

Error is back. this definitely isn't connected to cookie settings.
I will post this in plugin support section, maybe author knows how to fix this cache problem.

Or phpBB by the looks of things.

Do you have a test server on your local machine where you could do a fresh phpBB install along with mChat? It would be interesting to see if you still get the same errors. It may prove server set up one way or another.

I can try that but I do not know why this does not happen all the time. It looks completely random.
Fails to auto refresh, then bit later refresh goes smoothly. As if it can not find file (says "no route found").
I posted same topic in mchat support section but it seems that author was active there more than two weeks ago.

One possible thought - are you using a caching system such as Cloudflare?

I do not use such thing. Since this is random error I am leaving possibility that server goes briefly offline but I do not think that this is the case. I've been using this service since 2013 and downtime of any sort is extremely rare.
During short usage of ajax chat I did not see such error. My old IP.board also had live chat and I absolutely never had such problems.

You need to go back to the extension author with this it’s not a support issue. If he says it’s a cache problem which cache where?

Unfortunately in only topic I managed to find here is one I already linked and it does not say what exactly to do in order to solve this. I've posted yesterday question in plugin support section but it seems that author isn't very active, he made last post there more than two weeks ago.
I will ask them on their own platform for solution. If they have one I will post it here just in case if someone faces same error as me.

I disabled popup error message. Note that this solution works for me cause everything else works ok. I can't guarantee that it will work for anyone else.

Message from mchat author:

I wouldn't recommend to disable the error popup. You won't notice any errors happening on your board. Anyway, you've been warned:

Open ext/dmzx/mchat/styles/all/template/javascript/mchat.js
Find and delete

Code: Select all

    phpbb.alert(title, responseText);
