I have strange problem with one of my Drupal installations. I have two installations on the same server that chare database table. Now to the strange part. On of the installations some times is unsuccessful and don’t compile the code correct. The only thing that is shown is a bunch of strange charters. I’m sorry for being vague, but I don’t know how to explain it.

I have checked so it’s not a theme thing and the page works fine when logged in. The problem don’t always appears instantly but if you update the page it dos. And it don’t matter what system I’m on Linux, windows, Firefox or IE.

This is what I se.

I don’t got a clue what this can be or what to search for. Tanks for any help.

This looks like a problem with gzip caching. Try clearing the cache table.

Does this happen only when caching is enabled? If so, than upgrading to the latest Drupal 4.5.1 may solve your problem. It worked for us, anyway.

and let us know if it was as weird as my problem, cause it might be something more generic in that case

It seams to have been cache. I disable it and now it works. I’m going to upgrade, but it have to wait for now. It’s Christmas after all.

Yes bertboerland, it seems to be the exact problem you had.

I don’t think I could have figured this out. Tank you all!

It is the cache that does this ... is does on mine too in 4.5.1, and I can figure out why it does not work efficiently since it worked fine in previous versions.... This is a fresh install on my server but I use Fantastico to install drupal (preinstalled on my server) so I wonder if something is off on the way it was installed. I really prefer to use cache since it cuts back on server usage (when I have 13 domain names on my server, I have to be concerned with saving the transfer rate as much as I can)

Has anyone run into this problem on 4.5.1 … if so how did you fix it?

see this. alter your bootstrap.inc (the code is readable) and # the code that is causing the page to be zipped.
