View Full Version : mod_gzip not installing properly

Hello,
I used the article found here (http://www.i4net.tv/marticle/get.php?action=getarticle&articleid=12) to install mod_gzip, and everything works fine...
It compiles fine, the code was added in the right spot, and Apache restarts fine. However, when I check to see if it's gziped... it's not.
Can anyone lead me in the right direction to get my site gziped?
Thank you for your time and energy!
Sincerely,
Andrew Tatum

I put the section <IfModule mod_gzip.c> right below this:
#AddModule mod_gzip.c

You are on Apache1.3.x right ?

Correct, I am currently on 1.3.29.

Also, for future reference... where do I set the level of gzip in this process?
Thank you once again for your time and energy!

Alright... update! I got it to work! :D
I added the following to the httpd.conf file:
LoadModule gzip_module /usr/lib/apache/mod_gzip.so
AddModule mod_gzip.c
But, back to my original question... where do I adjust the level (0-9)? I'd like to have it at 1...
Once again... THANK YOU!

It doesn't look like mod_gzip allows it to be configured, at least not version 1.3.26.1a I grabbed from sourceforge.
If you want to recompile it yourself, edit mod_gzip_compress.c and search for the first instance of "= 6" (there's a space in there). Change it to 1 or whatever, and I think that'll do what you want.
