Dear Group. Last night, I spoke with my webhosting technical support (iPower.com) and was told that their servers are running php5.2.17, and they have no plans to upgrade to php5.2.9, which is what mediawiki requires.
5.2.17 is a more recent version than 5.2.9.

And that's unrelated to the error you were getting. See, since that user page doesn't exist, mediawiki sends a page saying that it doesn't exist and provides the HTTP code 404. *The server should be showing that same page* but it is instead replacing that correct page (with mediawiki skin, edit link...) with another one saying ·Click the Back button in your browser to try another link.", "Use a search engine like Google to look for information on the Internet", etc. And even worse, it is sending it uncompressed, but hasn't changed the "Content-Encoding: gzip" header sent by mediawiki (as it was sending its page gzipped). Firefox is told that the page is gzipped, but the content is not, so it barfs out with that "Corrupted Content Error" page.
You need to request your hosting to not replace 404s with that page.
