Re: [users@httpd] Pease help with mod_deflate configuration (Apache Users)

Hi,

I would just check the accesslog to see whether compression is working :

Error format :LogFormat '%h %t "%r" %>s %b %{outstream}n %{instream}n (%{ratio}n)' deflate

If NOT Working :

172.18.20.82 [14/Jun/2006:15:10:24 +0800] "GET /testweb/PublicServlet.do?chkBox=200500000019%E624%2F05%2F2006%E600000049 HTTP/1.1" 200 13342 - - (-)

If Working :

172.18.20.82 [14/Jun/2006:15:12:29 +0800] "GET /testweb/PublicServlet.do?chkBox=200500000019%E624%2F05%2F2006%E600000049 HTTP/1.1" 200 5176 5158 29048 (17)

I already did as what u said, but still cannot get it work.

By the way, the web site is https site.

Regards.

no no dont mix <Directory> and <Location> directives.

Just do this:

##################

<Directory />
    Options FollowSymLinks
    AllowOverride None

# Insert filter

# HTTP COMPRESSION
SetOutputFilter DEFLATE

# Netscape 4.x has some problems...
BrowserMatch ^Mozilla/4 gzip-only-text/html
# Netscape 4.06-4.08 have some more problems
BrowserMatch ^Mozilla/4\.0[678] no-gzip
# MSIE masquerades as Netscape, but it is fine
# BrowserMatch \bMSIE !no-gzip !gzip-only-text/html
# NOTE: Due to a bug in mod_setenvif up to Apache 2.0.48
# the above regex won't work. You can use the following
# workaround to get the desired effect:
BrowserMatch \bMSI[E] !no-gzip !gzip-only-text/html
# Don't compress images
SetEnvIfNoCase Request_URI \
\.(?:gif|jpe?g|png)$ no-gzip dont-vary

# Make sure proxies don't deliver the wrong content
#Header append Vary User-Agent env=!dont-vary

</Directory>

#####################

this should work. how are you checking whether compression is working or not?
also check out http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/sections.html and http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_deflate.html

Hi,

Did you mean this :

##################

<Directory />
    Options FollowSymLinks
    AllowOverride None

    <Location />
# Insert filter

# HTTP COMPRESSION
SetOutputFilter DEFLATE

# Netscape 4.x has some problems...
BrowserMatch ^Mozilla/4 gzip-only-text/html
# Netscape 4.06-4.08 have some more problems
BrowserMatch ^Mozilla/4\.0[678] no-gzip
# MSIE masquerades as Netscape, but it is fine
# BrowserMatch \bMSIE !no-gzip !gzip-only-text/html

# Make sure proxies don't deliver the wrong content
#Header append Vary User-Agent env=!dont-vary
</Location>

</Directory>

#####################

This would give error message "<Location not allowed here".

And I tried to comment the <Location> , no error message given. Anyway this doesn't work.

no no what i meant was put it in the section which says <Directory />. there should already be a <Directory /> section.

Greeting,

I have put in the deflate function in the httpd.conf as below.
During testing, the compression is working when I access my web page from internal IP address e.g.:http://x.x.x.x.
Anyway when I access the web page using domain name e.g.: http://my.web.com, the compression is not working by looking at the apache access log.

Can anyone help me to figure what is wrong with my httpd.conf file. Thank you.
