Hello all,

I hope you are able to help me with the following problem. I had a perfectly working drupal 7 site until suddenly the site itself wouldn't load any longer and would just view:

��\�v�6���O�2g{�m(^t�����vn��s��MڪG!�6o!A�N��������b;�7��%GN���O"R8���:������?&3�{���_>?%�n�qvqF�?�x����=��j�����v@�6�<��b�h,��0��h|�s���HM�� խ���p,:��� 9�y�:::��iب��`z��m��� ��ʈF7>�<#;�no�<���'��Ib �~��K��(uƫO9c���OJ�&!�� EQc�f�*��y�p5|fɃ�dS+�4Mô

And more of that. You can still see it at http://tinyurl.com/3mptmau

I have tried my part of googling and browsing forum, but have been unable to find a solution so far.

I hope any of you knows a solution to this.

Thanks in advance,

Jurjen

Not a pretty sight. I hope you made a backup.
Do you have any ideas what could have caused this? A specific module you installed or updated, or some php code in a block or node?

For some reason it only appeared days after my last update. I think it started as I hit the logout button.

From what I have been doing it is possibly a module I installed, but I don´t think there will be a way to uninstall the last modules without being able to access the admin.

First I suggest you make a complete backup of your files and the database before doing anything desperate. Well, before doing anything...
Then you might try one of these approaches:

Option 1: database
- go to the system table of your database. There you will see a list of all modules. Find the module(s) you recently installed or updated, and set its "status" value to 0.
- then go back to yoursite.com/admin/modules (you may have to refresh the browser)

Option 2: delete module files
- delete the folder of the module you recently installed/updated.
- then go back to yoursite.com/admin/modules (you may have to refresh the browser)

I am not an expert on this, but if you made a backup, you can always revert and try something else.

You might also want to check the Troubleshooting FAQ.

Good luck.

Try clearing the cache-- which you can do manually in the db by emptying (not dropping) the cache* tables. If that doesn't work, you can manually disable contrib modules in the db as well-- see http://drupal.org/node/157632.

any changes in MYSQL ?

Ask your host.

Ask specifically about the collation.

When I am an anonymous user and go to http://dev.mycinemobile.com/products cold, I get gibberish.
When I reload the page, the proper page appears. The source code shows the same gibberish and nothing else. It was not doing this last week, but started doing it today.

In the server logs, I see this error:
Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent in drupal_serve_page_from_cache() (line 1351 of /usr/home/xsgames/domains/mycinemobile.com/public_html/dev/includes/bootstrap.inc).

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance,

Mike

Hi

I had this happen and I tried disabling the module and theme I updated, which didn't work until I emptied all the cache* tables in my database.

I was getting this once I turned on page caching, and then I turned off compression of cached pages. Specifically:

Uncheck the box for "Compress cached pages" at /admin/config/development/performance

And that fixed it for me.

Yes, that made it for me too. Anyway, the problem is still a mistery for me, because I have been compressing pages a long time just until now that it suddenly became a problem.

In my testing to setup a new version of an existing site, I was trying out a distribution, and with it, the site totally crashed 3 times at different times with seemingly diff circumstances... having to do with updates, new modules, that sort of thing.

Anyway, I was wondering what manual methods I could try to resolve the issues, but since was fairly early on, each time, I just wiped and started over...so if I get it to break again, I might try some of these ideas just to see how it turns out.
