I am on DreamHost and run Pligg beta 9.5

Yesterday I enabled Gzip compression through the Configure option in the Admin panel.

As soon as I enabled it, all cool effects of the boxes on sidebars (top today, categories, latest comments, top 5 tags,etc) stopped working.

Also now I am not able to edit any values in Admin panel.

Won't Gzip compression work for me? How do I edit values in my Admin panel again?

I really need to enable gzip compression to reduce page load time

Thanks for any help in advance.

Go to phpMyAdmin or whatever database editor you use, then your pligg config table (possibly pligg_config) and for var_name=enable_gzip_files under var_page=Misc, change var_value from true to false.
I'm not sure how to get it to work properly and what it requires as I use the .htaccess method of gziping pages (which for me works fine and is as easily reversed as it is applied).

are they using php suexec? you might need to place the gzip stuff in a php.ini in the folder instead of htaccess if it does use php suexec

Thanks, I fixed it.

Will the .htaccess method of gziping work?
