$wgUseGzip is buggy in combination with wgUseFileCache and PHP accelerator
- This return garbage HTML: Some PHP accelerator + $wgUseGzip + $wgUseFileCache.
- Certain page elements don't load with $wgUseGzip + APC:
Since I used $wgUseGzip the following page load mistakes occured randomly and mostly after page edit / submit actions:
- The sidebar was not loaded properly (the default layout is loaded).
- Page elements from the MediaWiki namespace didn't load at all, e.g. the CharInsert tools and apperead as "<CharInsert>" in plain text instead. Same for stuff loaded by Extension:HeaderFooter.
Since I don't know exactly what causes these errors I disabled $wgUseGzip. But I bet it's the usage of with APC again (which I won't disable).
