[Mediawiki-l] Turning off GZIP

[Travian Wiki]

How do you turn off GZIP in MediaWiki 1.5.3?  My host won't allow GZIP, so
the wiki doesn't work.  You get an error that looks like ? or ‹.  I
commented out

if( !ini_get( 'zlib.output_compression' ) ) @ob_start( 'ob_gzhandler' );

in LocalSettings.php by changing it to

# if( !ini_get( 'zlib.output_compression' ) ) @ob_start( 'ob_gzhandler' );

When I do that, I get an error viewing my wiki.  The error is on Line 54
Character 67.  What can I do to turn off GZIP, and the error?



Thanks
