How to install Mod_gzip on Linux Server
This is a quick tutorial on how to install mod_gzip on linux server.
cd /usr/local/src wget http://easynews.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/mod-gzip/mod_gzip-1.3.26.1a.tgz tar zxvf mod_gzip-1.3.26.1a.tgz cd mod_gzip-1.3.26.1a
You must now open Makefile in your favorite editor and change the first line to:
APXS?=/usr/sbin/apxs
Save it, and continue:
make make build make install
Next, open /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf. The installer has already modified the httpd.conf file for you, but you'll need to make some minor changes. When you reach the LoadModule section of httpd.conf, find the mod_gzip line (commented out) and delete it. After all the LoadModules, paste:
LoadModule gzip_module /usr/lib/apache/mod_gzip.so #LoadModule frontpage_module /usr/lib/apache/mod_frontpage.so LoadModule perl_module /usr/lib/apache/libperl.so <IfModule mod_gzip.c> mod_gzip_on Yes mod_gzip_minimum_file_size 300 mod_gzip_maximum_file_size 0 mod_gzip_maximum_inmem_size 100000 mod_gzip_item_include file \.htm$ mod_gzip_item_include file \.html$ mod_gzip_item_include file \.shtml$ mod_gzip_item_include file \.shtm$ mod_gzip_item_include file \.jsp$ mod_gzip_item_include file \.php$ mod_gzip_item_include file \.pl$ mod_gzip_item_include file \.cgi$ mod_gzip_item_include mime text/.* mod_gzip_item_include mime ^application/x-httpd-php mod_gzip_item_include mime httpd/unix-directory mod_gzip_item_include handler ^perl-script$ mod_gzip_item_include handler ^server-status$ mod_gzip_item_include handler ^server-info$ mod_gzip_item_exclude file .css$ mod_gzip_item_exclude file .js$ #mod_gzip_item_exclude mime ^image/.* mod_gzip_dechunk yes mod_gzip_temp_dir /tmp mod_gzip_keep_workfiles No mod_gzip_can_negotiate yes mod_gzip_send_vary Off mod_gzip_item_exclude mime ^image/.$ mod_gzip_item_exclude mime ^image/ mod_gzip_item_exclude rspheader Content-Type:image/* </IfModule>
Scroll down and find the AddModule section of httpd.conf. At the end, remove the mod_gzip line (commented out), and below all the AddModules, paste this:
AddModule mod_gzip.c
Save httpd.conf and exit the editor. Finally, restart Apache (service httpd restart).
You can check if your installation was successful by entering a URL athttp://www.gidnetwork.com/tools/gzip-test.php.
