Codezwiz >> Forums >> General PHP Nuke Help >> installation problem with Nuke/Forums (Beginner)

I have installed PHP-Nuke 7.0, and so far everything is working great except for the forums. i have looked over it several times and cant seem to figure it out.
Here is the error I am getting:

Warning: ob_start(): output handler 'ob_gzhandler' cannot be used twice in /data/members/free/tripod/uk/n/i/t/nitestalker/htdocs/includes/page_header.php on line 96

I am using a free web server on Tripod, just incase your wondering where all that tripod crap came from.

can anyone tell me what i have done wrong or how i can fix this. i would really like to get the forums figured out. thank you.

Hi Nitestalker and welcome to codezwiz. I did a search here and found this:

Nuke includes support for ob_gzhandler but so do the phpbb forums. Because phpbb was ported over to php-nuke, it still has it's own setting to gzip output. So if you happen to enable gzip compression in the forums and enabled gzip compression in php-nuke, you've enabled it twice.

The easiest way to fix this is to connect to your php-nuke database using something like phpmyadmin and then change gzip_compress 1 to gzip_compress 0 in your nuke_bbconfig table. Your forum pages will still be compressed since they call php-nuke's header.php and footer.php which include the function already.

If you don't want to mess around in your database, disable gzip compression in header.php and you should then be able to get into your forums admin config page where you can then set 'gzip compression' to 'No'. Then re-enable gzip compression in your header.php file and you're golden.

Thanx, I really appreciate it. I am curious though, when you did a search, did you copy and paste that whole line (error) in there?

I will attempt this, and i am sure it will work, once again thanx a bunch.
