   I upgraded a fully-working WP 2.9.2 site yesterday to 3.0.

   When using the plugin manager or the themes manager in 3.0, it hangs at "Downloading install package from http://wordpress.org/extend/themes/download/blahblah.zip..." when uploading a new file.

   The thing is, it actually does install the theme/plugin correctly, but does not update this screen to tell me the status so I have to guess when it's finished.

   I have tried using nginx and httpd; it's the same. I have tried with php 5.1.6 and 5.3.3; it's the same. I have tried Firefox and IE8; it's the same. Server OS is Centos 5.1, MySQL 5.0.7.

   I have tried installing a fresh WordPress 3.0; it's the same.

   Uploading other things, such as images to the media section, works fine, and the progress bar works.

   Any suggestions are greatly received!

   Try adding AddType x-mapp-php5 .phpto the top of your WordPress .htaccess file.

   Or increasing the available memory:

   Unfortunately this didn't work. My php.ini was already set to a very large amount of memory (256M) which I have now reduced to a more reasonable level, and changing the available memory to match in wp-config made no difference.

   I am using nginx but tried what you said in httpd to no avail.

   However, I have sorted it out.

   I turned WordPress debug mode on and noticed a smattering of errors relating to zlib compression. So I went into php.ini and set the following option:

   zlib.output_compression = Off

   It now works.

   I tried setting output_handler to ob_gzhandler but this breaks it as well.

   Should I be enabling zlib, etc?
