Post Installation - Global Configuration not accessible - Topic is solved

[mach1pilot]

Hello -

Im new to this board.... have installed Joomla to create a few basic sites in the past.

Just installed 5.0.2 for a new project.... everything seems to be normal except that the Global Configuration page is inaccessible. It shows this error: The error is "cannot decode raw data" (NSURLErrorDomain:-1015).

This one has me stumped.... hoping this is something you experts might recognize as an easy fix.

Thanks in advance

Googling the error shows that it is a common error with wpress not Joomla. Wpress appears to have problems with Safari browser and compressed text files.

A suggested fix is add the following to the.htaccess file

Code: Select all

# compress text file responses
<IfModule mod_deflate.c>
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/plain
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/html
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/css
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/javascript
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/json
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/javascript
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/x-javascript
</IfModule>

Please post the results of the fpa https://forumpostassistant.github.io/docs/

Webdongle - thank you!

Well I tried your suggestion for which I greatly appreciate... sadly it did not help.

In trying another browser (Firefox) this is the message:

Content Encoding Error

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

Please contact the website owners to inform them of this problem.

I might mention that the first error noted in the first post was using Safari.

Thoughts?

https://forumpostassistant.github.io/docs/ please
Also please check Joomla's global config and make sure you do not have compression on

I'd love to get into the global configuration page but that is the one and only one that is not accessible. Everything else works.

You can edit the configuration.php

As requested by @Webdongle, please post the results from the FPA! The configuration report may give us clues what is wrong.

If you get any error messages or have questions about it, please post them here.

Well that helped a lot.

I changed this in configuration.php:

public $gzip = true; Changed the value from False to True. Now I have access to the page. Thank you Webdongle!
