Why is the Main Column of Wiki Not Displaying in IE9?

All of a sudden, my wiki is not displaying properly in IE9. The middle column, where all the main content goes, won't actually load. There's just a thin, rectangular, white box there. It works on all other browsers. It's strange because I don't think I changed anything on the server and I don't think IE9 had an update recently. Any idea what is going on? And no, I can't simply use the other browsers, so please don't suggest that.

If you open the JavaScript debugger in IE9, do you see any error messages?

I reported this same issue as well. It is definitely caused by something that changed in the Version 2.2 OS X Server update a little over a week ago. Out of curiosity - I restored back to 2.1 - and the problem did not occur. So far this has happened to everyone that I have asked to access the wiki - it is definitely not a random problem. I am going to open a bug report for it. I am surprised that I am not seeing a lot more posts about it.

Error goes something like this.

Around the internet i found that resetting IE 9 might fix the issue but in this case it does not.


PS. IE 10 Preview Edition does not exibit this behaviour.

I see the exact same thing, indeed.

If the problem went away with a restore to Server.app 2.1, then I think it's safe to say Server.app 2.2 is the culprit. Hopefully, Apple gets on an update soon. I've got people needing access. Thanks everyone!

Since I'm so new to OS X Server - I have made many mistakes with it in my home learning environment - and therefore learned quickly to make image backups every step of the way - so restoring to v2.1 was very quick and simple.


I also wanted to point out - this problem is not limited to the main screen of the Wiki. If you disable the Wiki - but leave the default website enabled - the default website will display - but if you click on the change password link - it should pop up an enter user id, old password new password window and should also automatically switch to a trusted ssl connection - assuming you have a trusted certificate correctly configured. This functionality works fine in Safari, Firefox and Chrome - but the same behavior occurs on the password change screen in IE9 as it does in the Wiki.


I am now looking into submitting this to bugreport.apple.com. I will report back after I do that.

My Mac Mini Server is brand new - also has Apple Care - so I suspect I can get all the support I want from Apple - but opening a ticket can be time consuming when they start contacting you. It appears to be a bug more than anything so I thought that opening a bug report (which I have not done many of) would be quicker and simply alert Apple to the problem - but they have not responded or acknowledged the bug report - and I thought this was odd - so I added a comment to the bug report (yesterday) asking if anybody was looking into it. Still no reponse.


Make sure you click the "I have this question/problem too" link. Somehow that increases the chance of Apple being alerted to it - as I am pretty sure that Apple does not regularly monitor this forum.
