[resolved] Strange ref.outcontrol error (3 posts)

    I'm currently using WordPress 2.1. Just recently, I've begun to get the following error at the top of my site:

    Warning: ob_start() [ref.outcontrol]: output handler 'ob_gzhandler' cannot be used after 'URL-Rewriter' in /usr/home/logan/public_html/blog/wp-includes/functions.php on line 336

    Interestingly, this error only appears every so often, usually upon an initial visit to my site. If the page is refreshed, however, the error disappears. I can't think of anything I may have done (plugins installed, etc.) to cause this error to appear, since it has never shown up before. Any ideas on how to get rid of it?

    That's the built in compression of (I think it's in) PHP. You have the option to turn this off within WordPress though. It's Dashboard -> Options -> I believe General. Look for GZip and try turning it off.

    I don't have a copy of wp in front of me so I can't double check the settings but the ob_* functions are that.

    Hope this helps,

    Actually, it's under Options > Reading, but that seems to have fixed it. Somehow the gzip checkbox got selected when I wasn't paying attention. Thanks!
