2.14.3.1.2. Error ERR_CONTENT_DECODING_FAILED

If ERR_CONTENT_DECODING_FAILED error occurs when opening site in browser, cause may be gzip compression enabled in site admin panel. Since compression on hosting is enabled by default, enabling compression on site causes data to be compressed twice, which prevents browser from unpacking it.

To fix the situation, do the following:

  1. In site configuration file check database name.
  2. Open site database in phpMyAdmin.
  3. In oc_setting table, find row with config_compression value in key column using SQL query:
    SELECT * FROM `oc_setting` WHERE `key` = 'config_compression'
  4. In the found row in value column set value 0.
  5. Check the site operation.
