Hello everyone,

I am having a problem with enabling compression on my local server. I followed bunch of tutorials on how to enable it but i can't get it to work.

I am using Apache 2.4.2 32bit, php 5.4.4 on Win7 64bit.

I uncommented
Code:
LoadModule deflate_module modules/mod_deflate.so


and put following in httpd.conf
Code:
<IfModule mod_deflate.c>
     # place filter 'DEFLATE' on all outgoing content
     SetOutputFilter DEFLATE
     # exclude uncompressible content via file type
     SetEnvIfNoCase Request_URI \.(?:gif|jpe?g|png|rar|zip)$ no-gzip
     <IfModule mod_headers.c>
      # properly handle requests coming from behind proxies
      Header append Vary User-Agent
     </IfModule>
   </IfModule>
   
   # deflate.log, log compression ratio on each request
   <IfModule mod_deflate.c>
     DeflateFilterNote Input instream
     DeflateFilterNote Output outstream
     DeflateFilterNote Ratio ratio
     LogFormat '"%r" %{outstream}n/%{instream}n (%{ratio}n%%)' deflate
     CustomLog logs/deflate.log deflate
   </IfModule>
   
   # Properly handle old browsers that do not support compression
   <IfModule mod_deflate.c>
     BrowserMatch ^Mozilla/4 gzip-only-text/html
     BrowserMatch ^Mozilla/4\.0[678] no-gzip
     BrowserMatch \bMSIE !no-gzip !gzip-only-text/html
   </IfModule>


After that i restarted apache and when i enter my ip into Google page speed it says that i need to enable compression.

I tried using
Code:
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/html text/plain text/xml


but than Apache won't start saying "Invalid command 'AddOutputFilterByType', perhaps misspelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration".

I tried to uncomment mod_filter.so than invalid command goes away but i still get the Enable Compression warning from page speed. Can any of you please help me and tell me how to configure compression on Apache 2.4.2.

Thanks.

This should work:

SetOutputFilter DEFLATE
SetEnvIfNoCase Request_URI \.(?:gif|jpg|png|ico|zip|gz)$ no-gzip

Remove the legacy BrowserMatch lines.

Check with http://web-sniffer.net/
