MyBB Community Forums

Hello I just converted from SMF and I was provided with a report that said all went well but when I go to my site it looks like I opened a program in a word document with all these weird characters.

I could attach my tables but is it safe?

that is a gzip issue I believe. can you access your ACP and see what the gzip settings are under Server Optimization

ACP? I cant get on my site it doesnt work period.

run this query :

SELECT name, value FROM mybb_settings WHERE name like '%gzip%'

It should return two records.

also, what is in your htaccess file?

Thats in the file you requested.

And I do not know how to do the second thing you requested. [/php]

In cPanel or whatever, go to the Databases section, then click phpMyAdmin, go to your MyBB database, click the SQL button, paste the query in there and run it.

Alright I figured you were looking for these two things at the bottom but wasnt sure. Here is a picture.

Click edit on both and set them both to 0.

I have set them to zero and still nothing. Im still getting weird charecters or the option to download my index.php when I attempt to connect.

You need to delete ./inc/settings.php too.
