GZip Compression causing problems on GoDaddy site

[tanlaw]

I enabled GZip Compression on our Zen Cart, and now when I pull up a page, it gives me a symbol. Please view this page: http://mybltgifts.com/shop

How can I fix this?

disable gzip...

it seems that you are on a server that is not intended for zencart.

How do I dissable it?

Here is the admin area, it gives the same symbol?

This is from drbyte so you may want to thank him:

To disable gzip via phpmyadmin, run this SQL statement:

UPDATE configuration set configuration_value = '0' where configuration_key = 'GZIP_LEVEL';

[tanlaw]

That didn't work.. Any other ideas? Is there a file that can be updated?

Thanks.

The same way and place you enabled it

admin > config > GZip Compression > Enable GZip Compression > set to "0"

In the future, please consider explaining what exactly you mean by "That didn't work".

If it was a table-prefix issue, then you should have received an error message when running the first command. If you did receive an error message, posting those details would get a more specific response much more quickly.


It's also advisable to be making database backups on a frequent basis, especially if you're going along flipping switches. That way you can undo things via a restore in a worst-case scenario.
