Disable Gzip in Vbulletin

Step 1. Open phpMyAdmin in your web browser

Step 2. Run this code on your vbulletin table

UPDATE `setting` SET `value` = '0' WHERE  `varname` = 'gziplevel' LIMIT 1 ;

Step 3. Browse to this page

http://yourdomain.com/forum/admincp/options.php?do=options&dogroup=http

Look for

GZIP HTML Output

And turn it to the off position

Add On. In the topic where i got this from I was told that didn't work

So here is something else

In phpMyAdmin, goto your datastore table and edit the options row.
Find:

"gzipoutput";s:1:"1";

and change it to

"gzipoutput";s:1:"0";

You'll still have to change the setting in your vBulletin Options afterwords though.
