Topic: [Content Encoding Error] when i try to update 1.2 -> 1.3

Hello,

I have PunBB 1.2.16.
I downloaded version 1.3.4, unpacked to disk, copied its contents to the server, replacing files that already existed in the forum directory.
I typed in Firefox
address/admin/db_update.php and then window appeared:

Content Encoding Error  
The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because it uses an invalid or unsupported form of compression.   
    *   Please contact the website owners to inform them of this problem.

Forum of course, didn't worked, so I restored the old files.
- I tried open db_update.php  Internet Explorer - same
-I downloaded the version 1.3.2 and it was exactly the same.
-I have given full permissions to the file db_update - same

I checked in cPanel - I have a php 5.2.12

I checked the source of random page in my forum, and in Meta tag i have:

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-2" />

As i know, in version 1.3 there is conversion to utf-8, while updating, am I right ?
Maybe this is the problem ?

Please help.  neutral
