Empty response from server
This is an old discussion that has not been active in a long time. Instead of commenting here, you should start a new discussion. If you think the content of this discussion is still relevant, you can link to it from your new discussion.
Most of the recent sync issues have been due to users' upgrading to 2.0 and syncing their libraries for the first time. Others have been due to our adding support for uploading of much larger libraries, while support for downloading those large libraries still needs to be optimized. Others have been due to people's using Reset to Server to attempt to circumvent a queued upload, which doesn't work, makes things worse for them and others, and has now been disabled on the server.
We're working constantly to improve syncing speed and reliability, and we'll be rolling out more changes over the next few days.
My database has about 2000 records. It used to sync. Then I tried adding about 15,000 more records and I started having problems. I deleted all of the added records, but continued to be unable to sync.
I have done everything that I can think of to remedy the problem. I reinstalled both Firefox and Zotero. I started with an empty database, and it synced. Then I replaced the backed up database, and it attempted to sync, but never completed it.
Thanks for your help,

I just upgraded to Zotero 2.0.3 with Firefox 3.6.3 and tried syncing my library for the first time. However, it won't sync and I get error messages like this:
sync.zotero.org : potentially vulnerable to CVE-2009-3555
[JavaScript Error: "uncaught exception: Empty response from server. Please try again in a few minutes."]
Also, this is unrelated but the shortcut keyboard command for Zotero (shift+command+Z) doesn't work...
Especially if your library is relatively large and you're syncing for the first time that may take a bit.
Also, make sure to empty your trash before syncing.
if the problem continues tomorrow, come back.

Why can't I get to my stuff on other computers?
"Empty response from the server".
It's been 3 days already. What's the problem?
