Error in streams.php

Okay, fellas i solved my little problem! *heureka*
the warning was caused by a problem with the localisation files in the wp-admin/includes folder. i deleted them and everything is working fine again. not in german but it works… however. thanks!

So what was the problem? I get the same problem now, in a new blog I put up. But I need the localisations file. Did anything change in format of localization files or what?

I found a dirty hack when looking into code of streams.php. Find the function ‘read’ under the cless ‘FileReader’. Add following code
‘ if ($bytes==0) return $data=””;’
I found that it just work. I can not remove localize file cause my audience is Vietnamese (https://t9m.net)
‘ function read($bytes) {
> if ($bytes==0) return $data=””;
fseek($this->_fd, $this->_pos);
$data = fread($this->_fd, $bytes);
$this->_pos = ftell($this->_fd);
return $data;
}’

Thanks Anon! Same problem here. The weird thing is, it also prevented me from logging in (I just got a screenful of error msgs) and messed up the styling of the calendar.
Last thing I changed was to install the style switcher, but undoing that didn’t help. Removing the L10N file was unlikely to help, because I had not changed it for a long time.
So I tried your hack and it fixed all 3 issues in one go.
Something to incorporate into 1.3, perhaps?

My case is kinda similar , I have to install a fresh new installation of wordpress-1.2 in my hosting.
If I don’t use any *.po file the setup is perfect.
If I use a localization file (I tried with Spanish and Italian) I am getting the following error
Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in C:\Domains\gastonl.com\wwwroot\rochi\wp-includes\streams.php on line 108
the line changes sometimes is 107, 108 or even 109
I tried to add the if ($bytes==0) return $data=””; line in streans.php but no luck, same problem.
Does anyone found a fix or workaround about this?
Thanks in advance

I had the same problem and I figured out it had something to do with the language file. Mine is “de.mo” and is located in “wp-includes/languages/”.
The comment in wp-config.php states, that one should enter
define ('WPLANG', 'de'); to use “de.mo”. This got me the function.fread error.
Unfortunatley this input seems to depend on the apache server config. For example I need to write
define ('WPLANG', 'de_DE); to overcome the problem altough my language file is just “de.mo”.
The phpinfo(); should state which string to use (under apache environment) but I couldn’t find it.
So you’ll have to play around a a bit …

Just noticed, that my language file isn’t working at all. Anyway it must have something to do with it as my WordPress installation is working fine now – in english ;-).
