Any clue what causes this?

My localhost install of EE 2.5.2 suddenly started inserting these errors into my page:

A PHP Error was encountered
Severity: Warning

Message: ob_start(): output handler 'ob_gzhandler' conflicts with 'zlib output compression'

Filename: core/Output.php

Line Number: 264

A PHP Error was encountered
Severity: Notice

Message: ob_start(): failed to create buffer

Filename: core/Output.php

Line Number: 264

UPDATES:

When I turn OFF teh “Enable GZIP Output?” option in the CP, these errors go away.

Also, this is a localhost (MAMP) install on my laptop that’s been running fine for a month with very regular use. This error just appeared this morning.

Hello fogcity,

I am sorry to hear you are running into this problem.

It sounds like something changed on the system itself. Any changes recently, and new installs?

What browser are you using?

Thank you,

Same problem here, also using MAMP. Maybe it’s a non-EE issue?

Hey Heiko,

It sounds like it. An update may have stomped a library on the system that was needed.

Thanks for chiming in Heiko.

Cheers,

Glad, I could contribute… 😊

Heiko,

😊

I’ve been having this same issue since I upgraded to the latest version of MAMP (Pro). Found a fix online. Just have to add this to your .htaccess file:

php_value zlib.output_compression off

Hope that helps!

Hey all,

Love all the collaboration!

What do you think fogcity?

Cheers,

Hi guys,

after some fiddling around, I figured I just had to switch to PHP 5.3 in MAMP to get this - and lots of other addon-related problems - to work.
