When using admin_menu with civicrm, the code for gzip-compressing the cached js is displayed as garbage characters on the screen, and the admin_menu is not accessible.

Tested in the following browsers:

  • Chrome 11.0.668.0 (74558) on Ubuntu 10.10
  • Firefox (Minefield) 4.0b12pre (2011-02-11) on Ubuntu 10.10
  • Internet Explorer 9.0.7930.16406 on Windows 7 Professional

Two more screenshots showing clearly exactly where the problem lies.

Can't imagine why a comment would result in a fatal error, but here goes another try...

One more try before I give up on 6.x altogether.

It might be possible that the following commits could have fixed this issue:

#1092970: Charset problem when using apache with a default charset not set to UTF-8
#1292838: Incorrect calculation of cache expiry timestamp

Could you test whether this is still an issue with the latest code?

#442560: Admin menu disappears (randomly), needs either cache to be emptied on every page or page refresh several times has been committed to 7.x-3.x. Can you test the 7.x-3.x branch using git - or alternatively, if you don't have git, the 7.x-3.x-dev development snapshot tomorrow (after the snapshot has been re-created)?

Have admin_menu 7.x running with civicrm just fine. Dunno if the problem still exists on 6.x because I'm no longer using 6.x.

Alright, let's close it then. Thanks!
