Installation fine but now errors

Post by luskan »

The installation went perfectly. No problems. I can access the admin panel and work on it just fine but when i goto view it like a regular user i get this error

Warning: gzinflate(): data error in /usr/local/catalog.com/embed/append.php on line 224

Warning: gzinflate(): data error in /usr/local/catalog.com/embed/append.php on line 224


i am not sure where the error is coming from. if you want to see the error for yourself for some ideas here is the site

also i forgot to note. register_globals = on and magic_quotes_gpc =on

i dont know why register_globals = on. the master value is off but for some reason the local value is on. Only thing i have installed is this. i tried creating a php.ini file to correct these two values and i couldnt get them to change. I also made a .htaccess file to force the register_globals to change but that didnt work either. I thought one of them would.

I dont know if this has any factor on my issue right now but i thought i better include. Let me know if there is anything else that would help better an answer to my problem. thanks.

just a quick update i got the register_globals to off but not the other. Would that still cause me to have errors?

anyone know? still waiting patiently for an answer. Thank again guys.

update again

I got it to work by changing URL rewriting to Use Apache mod_rewrite and Use Apache errorhandling but it takes forever for the site to open. Takes like 5 minutes to 10 minutes. A little bit to long to be useful.

Still waiting pationately for some advice. Thanks again.

After i changed it back it started working perfectly. I dont know what was going on. I would still like some feedback from someone when they get time so that if i ever reinstall this program I know what i did wrong. Thanks again.

The error you are getting comes from the "embed.php" script. That one is not comming from Serendipity, so please talk to your hoster and ask him what this script does.

Magic_quotes should be turned off, but doesn'T affect this bug. However it can be responsible for long load times, even though I think the embed.php script is doing this!
