How to enable mod_deflate on apache

view full story
linux-howto

http://serverfault.com – I've come across some article online to enable mod_deflate to gzip files while sending from the server. For that, I tried to load the mod_deflate.so module by adding a line on my httpd.conf LoadModule deflate_module modules/mod_deflate.so But it seems the mod_deflate.so file is missing from the server. I tried a find / -name "mod_deflate.so" -print but it returns no results. So how do I compile and add mod_deflate to my modules directory? Update: I found out this tutorial at http://streetsmartingit.blogspot.in/2007/11/how-to-compileinstall-moddef... Step 1 says: Hack (HowTos)

Missing mod_deflate.so? 43 weeks 6 days ago

I'm trying to build apache with mod_deflate enabled. When restarting apache I'm presented with the following error:

httpd: Syntax error on line 36 of /usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf: Cannot load /usr/local/apache/modules/mod_deflate.so into server: /usr/local/apache/modules/mod_deflate.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

How can I get mod_deflate.so?

I am trying to load mod_expires.so and mod_deflate.so on my CentOS 5 server.

I got some json files to be served by apache httpd and their size are pretty big. (~100KiB) So I put mod_deflate into httpd server and applied to application/javascript mime type.

I think mod_deflate may burn more CPU powers to run gzip compression.

I want to gzip my static files.

Apache 2 proxy for Tomcat 7 31 weeks 2 days ago

Following the how-to, I wanted to make a proxy for traffic to the address /app to be processed by Tomcat 7.

First of all, what is http compression and which module to use for http compression? Compressing data before transmitting to the browsers and then uncompressing the data before displaying. The module that is responsible for http compression i.e. compressing the data is called mod_deflate.The main advantage is that it saves a lot of bandwidth. On [...]

Here is my current server scenario.

I'm running on a Rackspace Cloud instance (16GB of RAM), using cPanel/WHM on a CentOS 5.5 install.

I'm currently running about 10 Magento sites, all varying in size (from medium size to small)

Over time I noticed the speed of the sites slowing down.

I updated to fedora 18 today and I found my apache server no longer working properly.

First it complains about my modules: Cant load following modules, so I HAVE to comment them out in my http.conf

#LoadModule authn_alias_module modules/mod_authn_alias.so #LoadModule authn_default_module modules/mod_authn_default.so #LoadModule authz_default_module modules/mod_authz_default.so #LoadMod

If mod_deflate is installed, this option is added automatically to the cpanel interface but it cannot be disabled in Feature Manager.

We have some hosting plans where the inclusion of this icon is not appropriate and we would like to remove it.

Many thanks.
