Content Encoding Error

[gosborne]

Hello

If I try and load a page from the my main vbullletin for example:

http://community.basenotes.net/showthread.php?p=1251532#post1251532

I am faced with an error in firefox like this

Content Encoding Error
The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because it uses an invalid or unsupported form of compression.


I've not changed any settings on vbulletin or in the cpanel, and my other vbulletin forum at http://www.planningtomarry.com loads up okay.

It was working fine this morning and about 10.00am a moderator emailed me to say she was getting errors.

Looking forward to finding out what the problem is

cheers

You are GZIPPING the output twice. Probably on the webserver level and in vBulletin. Turn off GZIP in vBulletin under vBulletin Options -> Cookie and HTTP Header Optimizations...

Could be that your hosting provider added a gzipping module today in order to cut down their bandwidth costs.

[Steve Machol]

First, try turning GZIP off here:

Admin CP -> vBulletin Options -> Cookies and HTTP Header Options -> GZIP HTML Output -> No

Sometimes this problem is caused when your server is already using GZIP and by turning this on in vB you were double compressing. This causes problems with some pages but not others. It also happens to some people and not others.

I can get to the admincp login page, but once I log in, it gets the same error so I cant change anything.

[Steve Machol]

If you cannot log into your Admin CP, you can run these queries in the SQL tab in phpMyAdmin:

UPDATE setting SET value = '0' WHERE varname = 'gzipoutput';

UPDATE datastore SET data=REPLACE(data,'s:10:"gzipoutput";i:1;','s:10:"gzipoutput";i:0;') WHERE title='options';

Or you can also edit config.php and add DEFINE('NOZIP', 1) right under the <?php line to disable GZIP.

I've done this but am now greeted with a

 [B]Parse error[/B]:  syntax error, unexpected T_VARIABLE in [B]/home/1234/public_html/community/includes/config.php[/B] on line [B]28[/B]

should I try the phpmyadmin method or will this do the same

thanks for the fast responses btw

[Mr_Butter]

try adding a ; (semicolon) at the end of DEFINE('NOZIP', 1)

[Steve Machol]

That's correct. My bad.

[gosborne]

added the semi colon , but still getting the initial error (content encoding error)

[Steve Machol]

Then try running those queries.

[gosborne]

run the queries, now getting this:

Database error in vBulletin 3.7.0:

Run this query:

DELETE FROM bnvbsession;

Then revert your footer template. You made a change somewhere that stopped the Scheduled Tasks from running and clearing out this table on a regular basis.

Also since you are using a table prefix, those queries should be:

UPDATE bnvbsetting SET value = '0' WHERE varname = 'gzipoutput';

UPDATE bnvbdatastore SET data=REPLACE(data,'s:10:"gzipoutput";i:1;','s:10:" gzipoutput";i:0;') WHERE title='options';

[gosborne]

cool - i'll try that

[gosborne]

thanks worked a treat

[Steve Machol]

Glad to hear it.
