[Solved] Warning: ob_start(): function error

[MrEd]

I've got smf up but after the initial setup I can no longer login and have this error

Code Select Expand


Warning: ob_start(): function 'ob_gzhandler' not found or invalid function name in /mnt/Shared/Shared/smf/index.php on line 96 Notice: ob_start(): failed to create buffer in /mnt/Shared/Shared/smf/index.php on line 96


How should I proceed?

I'd mention the error to your host, to be honest. From what I understand, if they have zlib compression enabled, that could be causing this error to pop up.

You should disable output compressions in SMF.
Use repair settings for that.

Ah! That's good finkin', Mannypoodles!

I'd forgotten that the ol' repair could do that!

Ta, matey!

[MrEd]

I thought it may have been from compression as well from reading
http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=486262.0




output compression is already off, I unchecked it from the install setup.

This is a freebsd machine.

using postgresql

here is the full error

Even if I wanted to double check the settings
Admin > Configuration > Server Settings > General [Enable Compressed Output = off]

I still can't login anymore
Only the first initial setup was I logged in

Try deleting the forum cache (the content of the "cache" directory).
The only reason this error can come up at that line is because the output compression is still enabled (or at least SMF thinks it is still enabled), otherwise line 96 is not used.

I deleted the forum and started a new db, that fixed it!

thankyou for all the replys!

I should mention I made sure the db started with smf_
just in case it mattered

Marked as solved.
