Content Encoding Error

[leannet]

My site won't work, its been over 8 hours now and I don't know what to do.

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.

What was changed before this started?

Was their any server maintenance?
Did you switch on/off compression in your vBulletin Options in your AdminCP?
Did you install a new style/modification/vB version?

Nothing was changed, it just happened by itself.

Was their any server maintenance? no

Did you switch on/off compression in your vBulletin Options in your AdminCP? no

Did you install a new style/modification/vB version no

[Marco van Herwaarden]

Things don't "just change" when everything is the same. Are you the only one to experience this problem or is it the same for everyone?

Maybe post a link.

[leannet]

Yeah thats what I don't understand, how it just happened for no reason.

Its happening to all my members, none of us can get on.

I also got this message.

Not Found

The requested URL / was not found on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.


Here is the site if anyone would like to try it for me

Seems, there is nothing in your public_html directory

[leannet]

How would I fix that?

Would that just happen by itself or has someone been stuffing with my site?

[ChopSuey]

If you can login to your site FTP ex. FileZilla, and there are files there, then your folders and files must be CHMODDED to 777 or something. Happened to one of my friends before. Should check your files.

[leannet]

ok I downloaded filezilla, sorry to be a pain

What do I put in the "port" section
Is username and password the same ones I use to access my site?

[Marco van Herwaarden]

You will need to contact your host as your database seems to be read-only, that would be the first that needs to be resolved and i have the feeling there are more problems on this server.

[leannet]

It resolved itself, it started working fine this morning all on its own.

Who would be my "host" ?

[ChopSuey]

your host lol, would be where you have purchased a server to put your site on.

[leannet]

is vbulletin a host ?

[ChopSuey]

I think this explains it better :)
