There's no option to gzip (or not gzip) anywhere on my host control panel. If there was it still wouldn't explain why the page works sometimes (roughly 10% of the time) and not others. It would be consistently gubbed, surely?
Surely if this was the case then the 3 websites also hosted on there would have a similar issue? Or is there something about phpBB which would possibly cause this issue? The BB has been running for almost a year without problem and this has only started happening in the last week or so
Took me a while to get to the setting because of the issue at hand, but GZIP is _not_ enabled on phpBB.Lumpy Burgertushie wrote: ↑Fri Sep 23, 2022 8:05 pm If the problem is double gzipp then make sure it is turned off in your board admin panel especially if you can't do it your host cpanel.
PHP.ini - depends how many times I try. The first few times I get the corrupt version. Then I strike lucky and get one that's not a mess. Varying results with the other PHP files. "common.php" gave me a 403 permission error (which is odd as it has the same file permissions as index.php), app.php worked, cron.php gives me HTTP error 500. This is viewing them in the web browser.
1 click installs that are offered by hosts, can not be supported as code may differ from original files (from phpBB site) + we do not know how the install/update process is done by that tool.IainPurdie wrote: ↑Fri Sep 23, 2022 4:14 pm How did you install your board?

Not sure if I mentioned in the original post, but 2 days ago I uploaded the 3.3.8 files I'd downloaded from here and refreshed those which were in place. The site _is_ running the code from here. I appreciate there could be DB config which is unknown, but - again - surely that would result in permanent corruption, not a site which works one time in 10-ish wif you keep hitting "refresh"? Also, the site has worked fine for approx 10 months, and has only just started to go on the fritz in the last few days, during which no changes were made to the file or server.GanstaZ wrote: ↑Sat Sep 24, 2022 3:25 pm1 click installs that are offered by hosts, can not be supported as code may differ from original files (from phpBB site) + we do not know how the install/update process is done by that tool.IainPurdie wrote: ↑Fri Sep 23, 2022 4:14 pm How did you install your board?

Completely agree! Nothing happens for no reason, it's just figuring out WTF _did_ change. I'm the only one with admin access to the board, host control panel etc. hence why I'm at a loss as to what could have happened. I've not had time to to any back end stuff in weeks.
