Hey Guys, My IT folks always INSIST that we run the most recent version of Java… so I updated a server to 1.8.0\_151 and all of a sudden I couldn’t get to /servoy-admin. The browser kept complaining that the site was unreachable (Chrome) with the error: ERR\_CONTENT\_DECODING\_FAILED. When I uninstall that - and go back to 1.8.0\_131 or 1.8.0\_144 - everything works again. Anyone know what’s up with that?? Servoy version 7.4.10 Windows Server 2012 ---

This IS an issue with 151! My computer “helpfully” updated its Java and the CSS file went missing: “Failed to load resource: net::ERR\_CONTENT\_DECODING\_FAILED” in the login form. [attachment=2]content\_error.jpg[/attachment] Here’s how the login form loaded: [attachment=1]how\_it\_looks.jpg[/attachment] Here’s how it SHOULD look: [attachment=0]how\_it\_should\_look.jpg[/attachment] Any ideas? ![how_it_should_look.jpg](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex010/uploads/servoy/original/1X/498d0e8624bdf9ea75ad8f2b37bd17f0602c0bea.jpeg) ![how_it_looks.jpg](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex010/uploads/servoy/original/2X/f/f5346cc5484bae50fb6840affcb84f6379e84300.jpeg) ![content_error.jpg](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex010/uploads/servoy/original/2X/8/8dcb019c9464c4dadc3294996d8425364c1c1c6c.jpeg) ---

Hi All, We are also facing the same issue, after java updated to version java 8 update 151 then we can’t run servoy admin page, is there any fix for this issue ? ---

Did you guys file a bugreport in the [tracker](https://support.servoy.com) yet ? ---

Bob and chaitanyas, Do you see the same thing on different browsers? Or is this only on Chrome ? ---

The OS is also important. Did you update only java when this happened or the OS as well? As a workaround you could turn off compression on server by editing application\_server/server/conf/server.xml and setting compression to “off”. And yes, if it’s not a chrome update going wrong you should [create a case](https://support.servoy.com) for this. ---

I do read online some solutions like clearing your browser cache. Try that first. ---

Hi Andrei, > Andrei Costescu: > As a workaround you could turn off compression on server by editing application\_server/server/conf/server.xml and setting compression to “off” Servoy server 8.2 has the following settings in server.xml: ```auto ``` As far as I can see this setting has not changed since Servoy server 6.0 If I read the Tomcat documentation correctly it should be like this: ```auto ``` source: - [http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc … /http.html](http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/config/http.html) - [http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-7.0-doc … /http.html](http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-7.0-doc/config/http.html) - [http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-8.0-doc … /http.html](http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-8.0-doc/config/http.html) ---

Hi Robert, I did try clearing browser cache but no luck and yes it happened with Mozilla firefox and IE also. Servoy Version : 7.4.2 OS : Windows Java Version : java 8 update 151 ---

[https://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-8.5-do … /http.html](https://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-8.5-doc/config/http.html) And yes, it has not changed in Servoy; I was just suggesting turning it off as a workaround if this was caused by an OS or JVM update - until a better solution is found. ---

Is Servoy going to follow up on this (fix it)? I don’t want to turn off compression! We are using Servoy 7.4.10. ---

I see there is already 1.8.0\_152 released. is it the same with this one? ---

Some observations: I updated my Windows 10 VM with Java 8-151 and have Tomcat 8.5 installed on it. By default it doesn’t have compression enabled so I added it in the server.xml and restarted it. Then I deployed a 7.4 war file and tried to access the servoy-admin page. It uses Java 8-151 and it loaded fine ![:!:]( "Exclamation") . Then I installed Servoy server 7.4.10 and tried to access the servoy-admin page and it failed as described in this thread. Changing the compression property to “off” does indeed the trick to make it load properly again. Hope this helps. ---

> Gabi Boros: > I see there is already 1.8.0\_152 released. is it the same with this one? I am not sure where you see this. it’s not on the [java.com](https://java.com/en/download/manual.jsp) site as a download and the Java control panel doesn’t prompt me with a newer version when I hit update. ---

it seems they backported something to java8 that was already failing for java9 9 (if disabling the compression on the embedded tomcat is fixing this) The embedded tomcat for servoy 7 is tomcat 6. Even the latest tomcat 6 doesn’t fix this. Tomcat 8 and java9 works fine (also with compression enabled as far as i know) We will not upgrade tomcat of servoy 7, you could potentially try this your self, but the step is to big for that we have Servoy 8+ What does work is WAR deployment (on tomcat 8.x) of a servoy 7. Or just disable compression on your servoy 7 install if you need to upgrade to a java version that breaks . ---

Confirmed that 8.2.1 works with Java 151 without having to take off the compression on Windows Server 2012. THANKS Johan! ---

Thank you for this post! I was being driven mad by a Servoy 7.4.9 solution not working (displaying) correctly suddenly, now I have added/changed the compression to ‘off’, it works! Thanks Rafi [Next page](https://forum.servoy.com/t/java-151-issue/19474.md?page=2)
