Description:
I'm using MediaWiki 1.9.3 with The SAINT WAMP Version: 3.4.0 Platforms:Win32(NT/2000/XP/2003) that uses APACHE v2.0.50 PHP v5.0.0 + PECL Extensions and MySQL v4.0.20d.
When I try to export pages in my setup, it gives the following error in Firefox 2.0.0.11
XML Parsing Error: not well-formed
Location: http://10.177.150.183/wiki/index.php/Special:Export
Line Number 1, Column 1:
�\x08
^
and in Internet Explorer 6.0
The XML page cannot be displayed
Cannot view XML input using style sheet. Please correct the error and then click the Refresh button, or try again later.
An invalid character was found in text content. Error processing resource 'http://10.177.150.183/wiki/index.php/Special:Exp...

Googling took me to http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/wiki/mediawiki/121566?page=unread#unread
where
"Tell the wiki-site.com administrators to check their configuration; are
they using mod_gzip or similar in Apache? Is there an automated
gzip-output configuration in PHP?"
gave some hints. Accordingly, I commented out
elseif ( empty( $wgNoOutputBuffer ) ) {
## Compress output if the browser supports it
if( !ini_get( 'zlib.output_compression' ) ) @ob_start( 'ob_gzhandler' );
}from the LocalSettings.php and now everything works fine.
I'm very new to reporting bugs/mailing lists of FOSS projects, if I'm duplicating and already addressed issue, please ignore the n00b's effort, ;)
