Topic: mod_deflate and MSVCR90.dll errors

I'm running the 64-bit version of Apache 2.2.21 on Windows Server Standard SP2 and I have a strange bug. When I have gzip compression on, Apache will frequently restart, with this error:

[James Blond]

Did you download apache from this site? Anything in the windows event log?

Thanks! I was beginning to think it was a hardware problem, so I moved to a new machine running Windows 2008 R2 SP1. But I'm getting the same thing! Do I need to install a different version of the VC++ Redistributable? I'm not sure what you mean by running both.

Right now I'm using the Apache Haus version 2.2.22. But I had the same problem with the version I downloaded here as well.

Redistributable Package with SP 1 and the one without

http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=5582

in this case the x86 one

Your 2.2.21 was an x64, I am assuming the 2.2.22 is an x64 build as well. It's been so long since zlib 1.2.5 was built, I cannot remember how it was done, there is room for error on x64.

The day after Apache 2.2.22 was released, zlib released their 1.2.6. I doubt the version of zlib is the problem, because no one else has run into this problem. But none the less, here are replacement mod_deflate and zlib DLL files.

Here are mod_deflate files from 2.2.22 rebuilt w/ zlib 1.2.6. Doubt it will fix anything but worth a try. Let me know.

Edit: removed stale old link that someone followed yesterday.

Thanks for the help, I appreciate it. I'm getting a 403 on that link.

I've been doing some more experimenting and I think I found the issue. I was starting mod_deflate in httpd.conf like this:

odd that in the error log I'm seeing this
[Sun Feb 12 13:29:44.123125 2012] [authz_core:error] [pid 2944:tid 888] [client xx.xxx.xx.xxx:33437] AH01630: client denied by server configuration: /xxx/xxx/xxx/deflate/index.php

The link does not point to index.php, there is no index.php, I do not do php, it's a simple Indexed directory. Looks like Safari is trying to be smart and is failing horribly.

Odd, it works just fine for me on Firefox, IE8 and Lunascape with the Gecko, Trident and WebKit engines.

Tried from work and from home. Always 403.

hello
I found this post which should answer some of your questions.
I have found that in the newer mods in Apache some directives have changed to a namespace type of directive.
The following post has the start up and directives in this style. This follows suite with in you example that worked.
here is the post http://www.freebsdmadeeasy.com/tutorials/web-server/apache-mod-deflate.php

Hope this is helpful

I think this 403 is a bug, how about you?

The mentioned folder is a indexed folder, so no index.(html|php|etc) files are there, just HEADER & README.

deflate/
HEADER.html
mod_deflate-2.2.22-zlib-1.2.6-x64.zip
mod_deflate-2.2.22-zlib-1.2.6-x86.zip
README.html

Because in other areas of the site I do have files that I want only available to me, I have a <Files> container in place at the Documentroot;

<Files ~ "\.(dll|dat|exe|php)$">
Require ip 10.0.0
</Files>

DirectoryIndex server wide is:
DirectoryIndex index.html index.shtml index.php index.htm

What seems to be happening is that as the server runs through the DirectoryIndex list, it hits index.php and looks for it, php is denied by the files container, so the server throws the 403 even though there is no index.php file present.

2.2.22 acts this way as well, it surprised me tho. RTFM I cannot find anything that says mix these and you will get a 403. Using FilesMatch give a 500.

Maybe you have to add somewhere an IPv6 address, for example for 2.2 Allow from ::1 when 127.0.0.1.
