Hi,

I'm experiencing the gibberish bug, I've seen reported in issues for Drupal 7... Can you please clarify how I should fix this on my Drupal 6 site...

I'd really appreciate your help...

In the chrome browser it will first return this error:

Error code: ERR_CONTENT_DECODING_FAILED

Occasionally when you hit refresh, all is well. Most of the time though, it then sends the gibberish on subsequent page refreshes.

It seems to be the same thing as the Drupal 7 issue, just not sure what to do for drupal 6...

Many thanks...

Disable Page compression on the performance settings config page.

You also may enforce this from within settings.php by adding the following line:

$conf['page_compression'] = FALSE;

@znerol Many many thanks... I knew it was something like that... You saved me from a lot of anxiety...

Changing it on the settings page wasn't working for me it just kept changing itself back to on. Adding that line to settings.php done the trick though... Been hitting lots of pages and haven't had the gibberish since.

So does this mean the pages are not being compressed at all? Should I use Apache to do this for me?

Thanks again...

Yes, use Apache mod_defalte to deliver compressed versions of your page.
