In this post we learn how to resolve the “HTTP Error: no data present after HTTP headers” error in the Vtiger customer portal login page. Vtiger CRM is an Open source CRM that helps support, sales, and marketing teams to organize and collaborate to measurably improve customer experiences and business leads. In Vtiger CRM Customer portal is a Module that is for the company client’s interface. Clients can manage and view the status of work and track the current task and much more.
We are using vTiger – 5.4.0 version which is vTiger old version. When we upgrade our PHP version 5.4 to PHP 7, the Customer portal not working, It shows no data present after HTTP headers during the login screen.

In the customer portal, we fetch data using SOAP APIs. Vtiger Customer portal nusoap libraries is use to fetch data. Vtiger 5.4 version use nusoap (0.7.2) version. The nusoap version included in vtiger (0.7.2) has some kind of bug or incompatibility with the php version. After downloading the last available version of nusoap (0.9.6) and replacing the old one with it (in the vtiger installation directory, libraries/nusoap) everything worked fine.
