Hi I am using VB 3.84, If I make a new custom page from a VB template I cannot view it, I get this error
The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because it uses an invalid or unsupported form of compression.


I have no compression on the server and have VB's own gzip turned on in VB admin, if i turn off the VB Compression the new page will show up, but with it turned on I get the above message, I cannot afford to leave compression turned off.

Can anyone tell me why this is happening. Thnaks

If you are getting that message, indeed your server is compressing the data along with vb's gzip

You have mod_gzip or mod_deflate or have gzip set on in php.ini

Thanks Snakes, Are you sure? I can find no reference to it gzip or deflate in my php.ini and when I turn off the gzip in VB and go to a site that tests if your site has compression then it reports that I have none. Thanks

Yes, as i do not know how your creating this new page exactly, the error msg as it states is correct, its getting compressed twice, if php isnt running its own compression, the forums arent, apache isnt, then i would check the coding of the new page.

Thanks. I am making the new page exactly as this old article describes.
