Not sure where to go, a little above my head but have used xampp a few years back. My web host is down and wanted to do a little work updating my forum, I installed xampp successfully, restored my backup with phpmyadmin, i visit 127.0.0.1/portal and get this error.

Content Encoding Error

The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because it uses an invalid or unsupported form of compression.

Please contact the website owners to inform them of this problem.

I did a couple of search and am not finding an answer.
Thanks

You have probably 'something' that was set to use gzip or bzip2 compression (which was running on a Linux host probably)

For output on exporting the file, compression was set to none. I've restored this test database a few times without issues on my web server.

I took a look at the php error log and get this

What exactly do you want us to advice you on with a 3rd party script? Other than its likely a version issue...

:?:

I'll try a different version I guess and see if that solves my issue. I've used this before with xampp and never had this issue.

Thanks

With version 1.8 - XAMPP began providing PHP 5.4 - many scripts are not ready for that, You should check with the developers of the forum software.

Good Luck

I did finally get things working, went with an earlier version. Thanks.

Good, I am glad its working -

Good luck with XAMPP
