...what's troubling here is that your problem occurs intermittently. Normally, if the problem is consistent, you can see what's happening by testing the program from the command-line on the server. In fact, I always recommend that you know what the program does from the command-line environment before you deploy it on your web server.

Since this only occurs intermittently, I am guessing that under certain input conditions, your program is producing an error message or simply not creating a body of the document.

You might consider adding code that you can use to learn what input has been supplied when the failure occurs. Then by checking your web server log for the time stamp of the failure, then look at your custom logged information for clues as to what sort of input causes your script to produce either no data, or the empty document.

If the problem occurs frequently enough that you can trap it in a relatively short period, you might want to consider running your script in such a way that it logs its output to a file as well as sending it to STDOUT (as the Unix tee(1) command might do)

Good luck
