Hello,

I just tried to rebuild Apache so I could enable mod_gzip. The build went fine apart from adding mod_gzip. This is the error:

Fetching http://httpupdate.cpanel.net/buildapache/1/mod_gzip-1.3.26.1a.tar.gz (0)....@74.200.65.162......connected......receiving...2%...5%...8%...11%...14%...17%...20%...23%...26%...29%...32%...35%...38%...41%...44%...47%...50%...53%...56%...59%...62%...65%...68%...71%...74%...77%...80%...83%...86%...89%...92%...95%...98%...100%......Done

apxs:Break: Command failed with rc=1

make [@mod_gzip-1.3.26.1a]...(install).... Done

It added this to httpd.conf:

<IfModule mod_gzip.c>
mod_gzip_on yes
 
mod_gzip_send_vary yes
 
mod_gzip_dechunk yes
mod_gzip_keep_workfiles No

mod_gzip_item_exclude file "\.css$"
mod_gzip_item_exclude file "\.js$"

</IfModule>

Running: WHM 11.2.0 cPanel 11.11.0-R16983
CENTOS Enterprise 5 i686 - WHM X v3.1.0
Apache 1.3.39
PHP 5.2.4

Does anyone know how to fix this?

don't compile mod gzip with apache using easyapache.

install it separately by downloading source file and add as apache module.

I have done now. I had the same problem though.

It seems the fix is to change this line in the makefile:

$(APXS) -Wc,-Wall,-O3,-fomit-frame-pointer,-pipe -c mod_gzip.c mod_gzip_debug.c mod_gzip_compress.c -o mod_gzip.so

To:

$(APXS) -Wc "-Wall -O3 -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe" -c mod_gzip.c mod_gzip_debug.c mod_gzip_compress.c -o mod_gzip.so

It's working fine after that.

Perhaps mod_gzip is only for Apache 1.3?

Use mod_deflate if you are on Apache 2.x.

  • You can enable syntax highlighting of source code with the following tags: <code>, <blockcode>, <c>, <cpp>, <drupal5>, <drupal6>, <java>, <javascript>, <php>, <python>, <ruby>. Beside the tag style "<foo>" it is also possible to use "[foo]". PHP source code can also be enclosed in <?php ... ?> or <% ... %>.
