Topic on Project:Support desk

It is needed to comment the following line in the includes/MediaWiki.php file:

$response->header( 'Content-Encoding: identity' );

disabling compression seems irrelevant

I recently updated core and several extensions to latest versions. I kept getting various error messages, so i attempted to comment out all extensions in LocalSettings.php. Now, i'm just getting weird characters on boot.

Any fix?

thx

See Topic:W0p0d6q8iqb6apxq and Manual:$wgDisableOutputCompression. Or use Firefox instead of Chrome.

fixed. thx!

Now getting this on a brand new MW installation 1.35.1, with compression disabled, on new install of chrome with no extensions.

it's obviously completely reasonable to require wiki visitors to use Firefox.

My webhost found the fix. It is needed to comment the following line in the includes/MediaWiki.php file:

$response->header( 'Content-Encoding: identity' );
