[Solved] mod_gzip

[Youpremium]

Hello,

Please enable mod_gzip - it would save a lot of bandwidth...

This support request is being escalated to our root admin.

[Youpremium]

OK, thank you.

[Ashoat]

Unfortunately, I'd rather not bother with this. I don't think it'll have a significant effect, and I have enough bandwidth to handle what's coming in.

Youpremium you can also do the same thing with php. Just add this to the very top of any php page:

 

<?php ob_start("ob_gzhandler"); ?>

 

There's also a line that you can add to your htaccess file that will gz all php files in a directory but I couldn't get it to work.

If you're using "php_flag" directives and the such, the reason it isn't working is because we have our PHP configured under suPHP rather than compiled as a DSO.

This was the line for htaccess:

 

php_value output_handler ob_gzhandler

 

 

[Ashoat]

Yeah, that isn't going to work under suPHP.

 

You should be able to get it working with some other (rather complex) .htaccess directives, though. You would need to (using mod_rewrite) pipe all requests into a single PHP file that would GZIP everything as necessary.
