Issue with cpg 1.4.x - index.php show only just symbols/waste

[hotsock]

Hello board,

on my cpg installation 1.4.25 i have a heavy problem with the index.php file. The startpage shows only symbols like a square with a question mark in it.

Maybe I can insert a few signs for example:

Code Select Expand

��������]�r�6�?3y�ӳ���AIvb�R&�MkǙ���M��
EH�M�, Jr{}�>ý@_��)���XN�9ɘ\�����"O�:y���ј���Ӌ�w/�V����|Y���|������)ҫut�a�SN��Z��{ ic��v�6�N��f��F�ˏ��ो

You can have a look at http://www.rbilger.de/bilder/index.php

I don't know what's the reason of the problem. I search this forum... somebody had the same problem which depends on the character set in the database...  but in the database I can't found any signs like above.
Now I have updated the version to the latest 1.4.26 ... nothing happens! If I go direct to an image, it works fine: http://www.rbilger.de/bilder/displayimage.php?album=9&pos=4

In the MySQL database I searched all tables and their content... no waste found.

The index.php file show's normal php-code in it.

If I use 'w3m www.rbilger.de/bilder/index.php'; in a linux terminal console, it shows waste too. If I use 'php ./index.php' it shows me clear html-code ... copying the html-code into a new html-file it shows me the startpage of coppermine in the browser with no problem (but it's static now!).

Some technical informations about the enviroment http://www.rbilger.de/bilder/phpinfo2.php:
Apache 2.2.4 on SuSE linux 10.3 x64
PHP 5.2.11
MySQL 5.0.45
Tested browsers: Firefox 3.6.2, Internet Explorer 8.0, Opera 10.10, Firefox 3.5.8 (linux)

Please help me because I don't have any more ideas.

Best regards

YES...... you've got it ....

I'm so sorry, that I started another thread, but I did't found the thread of your link... I didn't knew what to look for  - so I walked in the dark

Okay.. back to the technical conversation 

My solution fo the problem:
I used the .htaccess file in the root directory of CPG and added the following line at the end of the file:

Code Select Expand

php_flag zlib.output_compression off

That's it...

Thanx Nibbler for the hint to the link.
