htaccess prevents from displaying images and blocks files

    Hi,

    I was successfully using UAM with WordPress on my site but recently we changed hosting and it resulted in huge problems with accessing to files.

    First UAM blocked 90% of images on my website but I found out workaround here: http://wordpress.org/support/topic/uam-makes-serving-images-horribly-slow?replies=6 (suggested by digitalacorn)

    This line in htaccess solved problem with images:
    RewriteRule .*\.(jpg|png|gif|jpeg|bmp)$ – [L]

    This however didn’t solve access to other files (pdf, rar, zip etc). UAM seems to work fine when it comes to allowing/restricting specific content, but when I try to download a file the downloading process starts and hangs up. Finally after a while file is downloaded but cannot be opened (e.g pdf reader says that file is corrupted).

    Does anyone have a clue what might be the reason for such behavior? It seems that current hosting provider has different server settings than the old one but I don’t know which one. I contacted them but haven’t got the answer yet.

    BTW. I’m using 1.2.5.0 with Lock files set to yes

    The problem here was double gzip compression enabled on server. Guys from the hosting company gave me a hint.

    Solution was to add:

    php_flag zlib.output_compression Off

    to main htaccess file (in main wordpress dir).
