Front and backend just showing gibberish???

Post by TeddyC » Sun Feb 19, 2012 10:55 am

I was changing the path to temp and log in configuration.php via ftp.
And after the change the site doesn't work, no errors just strange characters, in front end and back end.

All I'm getting here is
Error 330 (net::ERR_CONTENT_DECODING_FAILED): Unknown error.
I cant even see the characters you are talking about

Thanks, that helped me, i searched for that error code and it appears when a server isn't supporting Gzip and it's enabled. And i did enable it by accident :-[

So after disabling Gzip every thing works.
