gZip compression error The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because it use

[pixelpadre]

I get this browser error if gzip=1

The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because it uses an invalid or unsupported form of compression.

with gzip=0

Page loads perfectly.

v1.5.1

I suspect your host has gzip disabled

[pixelpadre]

That would be me. What file to edit?

Thanks, but that link explained how to do it in htaccess. I had that already. I want to config apache installed on centos. Not really ZC related. Im searching.

My file
/usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf

<ifModule mod_gzip.c>
mod_gzip_on Yes
mod_gzip_dechunk Yes
mod_gzip_item_include file .(html?|txt|css|js|php|pl)$
mod_gzip_item_include handler ^cgi-script$
mod_gzip_item_include mime ^text/.*
mod_gzip_item_include mime ^application/x-javascript.*
mod_gzip_item_exclude mime ^image/.*
mod_gzip_item_exclude rspheader ^Content-Encoding:.*gzip.*
</ifModule>

I have read other posts on line from 2009. Same scenario that I have. Gzip enabled with admin off serves up pages not compressed. Turning on admin gzip gives a blank page.

I really dont want to got to every directory and edit each htaccess file to have pages compressed.

I'm thinking that this probably isn't what you need to be doing. mod_gzip hasn't been used by Apache for several years now. It has been replaced with the newer mod_deflate.

This may help (assuming you are using Centos 7)

Yea I read that too. I am using centos 6.6. Apache 2.2.27

I tried changing the httpd file to include mod_deflate, but the error message when I restarted service was something along the lines of "already configured for compression" but I can assure you there was no mention of mod_deflate in my httpd.con file.

I will keep plugging along til I find out.

Thanks

I added this to my httpd.conf file at the bottom to solve my problem.

I think you should lock this thread. No need to add anymore comments.
