Weird Characters Upon Installation

[TruthElixirX]

I had this problem with vb 3.5 BETA 1. I finally got it working, but didn't plan on upgrading until Gold and deleted it. Today I decided I wanted to play with vb 3.5 RC2. So I upload it, run through the install, get done and get this www.supportcore.org/testvb/ . The admin cp is completely blank.


Here is the link to the thread when I had this problem with BETA 1: http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showt...e+eaccelerator

I have reuplaoded the files in ASCII. eAccelerator is no longer enabled as well. I have tried installing three times.



Note: My testvb directory is unprotected since, there is nothing there and I need help fixing it. If I need to password protect and give the pass to one of the team please tell me.

Everything shows up fine for me. Are you still having a problem?

[TruthElixirX]

Yes.

All squiggly characters. I have cleared my cache and ahrd refreshed...I'm using latest Firefox build.

A sample of what I see:

/N÷kKVªóÿ™

And when viewing with IE it asks me if I want ot download the index.php instead of letting me view it.

[Steve Machol]

Strange. I'm not having any of thosee problems with either IE or FF.

[TruthElixirX]

I just got a friend to try out the link and he gets the same squiggly lines as well...Not sure what browser he is using. Computer illiterate..doesn't know either. -_-.


EDIT:: We succesfulyl identified his browser as IE...yay.

[TruthElixirX]

Any help..still no luck..;_;.

[Steve Machol]

Since I don't see the problem, it's difficult to help. Maybe someone else can take a look and confirm this.

I checked it out and can confirm the "squiggly characters":

I cant seem to copy/paste it here though for some reason...

It does the same for FF and IE, and in IE it asks me to d/l and save the page whenever I visit it.... very strange.

I d/l the file (named testdb ... thats it... no extension) and its just all the squiggly stuff I see on the page...

I'm using WinXP SP1 and IE6 + the latest version of FF.

Steve, may I ask what you're using?

Odd...when I use IE it asks me to download index.php... *Checks* hm..now it seems to have changed to testvb. I'm thinknig this might bew a host side problem.-_-

[Steve Machol]

I'm using IE6 and FF 1.0.6.

Try disabling the GZIP option in vBulletin Options to see if this helps.

Just confirming that I also see the random characters, FF1.0.6

Bizare. Even images aren't being transmitted correctly, though it seems to have gotten it's size correct.

I see random text also. Changes on each refresh.

I can't. The admin cp is a blank page....

[Steve Machol]

I can't. The admin cp is a blank page....

PM me your Admin CP URL and login. Be sure to remind me what this is about.
