New subject: [Mediawiki-l] disable Gzip compressed

29 Mar 2005

a long saga of installing mediawiki...

I am having a funny problem, when acessing the site the php acts as if 
it was crashing, but just sometimes. In a pc every 10-20 clicks one 
actually responds. From a mac I just cannot access it. From a linux 
machine, my server admins were able to use it properly.

They say it's something on sending data on a compressed gzip. I have no 
idea of what that means, how can I disable this?

Thanks

  Dear Alexandre:
  We\'ve tested the page using Opera on a Linux box. We know there is 
 an issue about gzip compressed content (most of popular php apps uses 
 this way of sending information to browsers) in ssl enabled web 
 servers. I\'m pretty sure that there could be some configuration 
 option to disable it. Unfortunately, I don\'t know too much about 
 mediawiki to help you to achieve this setup. I can only say that PHP 
 doesn\'t crash anymore (as it did before we patch the application).
  Of course, if you have any other question regarding this or another 
 issue, please feel free to contact us.
