[SOLVED] POSTDATA expired message on back button. Apache 1.3

Im having some issues with a server. When a page is received using post, and you move on to another page, pressing the back button produces a warining that states that the "POSTDATA expired from cache" message and requires the user to press continue. Another server (both Apache 1.3) does not produce this message. The code on both servers is identical. Initially I though it was a client issue, but with the same browser visiting both sites one site will produce the message and another will not. Is this a setting in the apache conf?

Any help appreciated.

this typically has to do with the headers sent in the page requests.

Compare the headers sent from both servers. If you don't find the problem, this topic has been talked about here on many occasions.

Solved.

For those interested, it turns out it was not a setting in the apache conf but rather a setting ("session_cache_limiter") in the php.ini file.

Thanks.
