hi all today i took another plunge and installed mod_gzip. v1.3.17a2 judging by the a, it looks like it's alpha. anyways.. my setup zope2.2.5 (with mod_pcgi2), apache 1.3.12, on linux installed mod_gzip witout a hitch. modified httpd.conf ---as follows--- LoadModule gzip_module modules/mod_gzip.so LogFormat "%h %l %u %t \"%V %r\" %>s %b mod_gzip: %{mod_gzip_result}n In:%{mod_gzip_input_size}n Out:%{mod_gzip_output_size}n:%{mod_gzip_compression_ratio}npct." common_with_mod_gzip_info2 CustomLog /var/log/httpd/mod_gzip_log common_with_mod_gzip_info2 # MOD_GZIP configuration mod_gzip_on Yes mod_gzip_minimum_file_size 1002 mod_gzip_maximum_file_size 0 mod_gzip_maximum_inmem_size 60000 mod_gzip_item_include mime "application/x-httpd-cgi" mod_gzip_item_include mime text/* mod_gzip_item_include mime "httpd/unix-directory" mod_gzip_dechunk Yes mod_gzip_temp_dir "/tmp" mod_gzip_keep_workfiles No mod_gzip_item_include file "\.php3$" mod_gzip_item_include file "\.txt$" mod_gzip_item_include file "\.html$" mod_gzip_item_include file "\._html$" <-----[1] mod_gzip_item_include handler "^pcgi-handler$" <---[1] mod_gzip_item_exclude file "\.css$" mod_gzip_item_exclude file "\.js$" since i serve zope thru mod_pcgi2 (thanks oleg), i add [1] above. and after sometime, here's the savings i got ----mgstat mod_gzip_log----- Number of all requests: 5124 Number of requests that were compressed: 756 (14%) Without compression it would be: 12 mb (12767 kb -> 13073489 bytes) Effective amount of bytes sent: 3 mb (3132 kb -> 3207908 bytes) Only 24% of real amount of bytes was sent to the clients. Saved bytes by mod_gzip: 9 mb (9634 kb -> 9865581 bytes) Log was analyzed in 0.951587 sec -------- which is quite good, me think tested with netscape ok msie 5.5 ko konqi ok others, not too sure. will report soon, when i got more info thanks -- http://www.kedai.com.my/kk http://www.kedai.com.my/eZine use Zope? then you got HOPE!
