Troubleshooting & FAQ (1)
TroubleshootingHow to fix 'ob_gzhandler conflicts with zlib output compression' error when updating Chevereto?
This error occurs when PHP's zlib.output_compression is set to On in php.ini. The Chevereto updater calls ob_start('ob_gzhandler'), which conflicts with zlib output compression. To work around it, temporarily disable zlib.output_compression: in php.ini, set zlib.output_compression = Off, or in .htaccess add php_flag zlib.output_compression off. After completing the update, you can re-enable compression. This is a known bug (issue #107) awaiting a permanent fix.
