gzip compression missing?

[TKS]

I tested my current install of 1.01 for gzip compression and found there was none. I thought this had been a built in item since .8...am I wrong?

I do have it selected (yes) for compression in my configuration.

I used this tool to test: http://www.gidnetwork.com/tools/gzip-test.php

I also used the tool available at http://whatismyip.org

Both found that gzip isn't enabled. I checked apache and I do have mod_gzip installed and operational...my other site running on the same server has gzip enabled no problems.

So...anyone know what's up with that?

Hi!

s9y's gzip compression relies on the PHP gzip output buffering. It can only be used/enabled when PHP is enabled to support it. Can you check your phpinfo() output to check anything related to "gzip"?

mod_gzip is something completely different alltogether. Enabling this means you should NOT enable gzip compression in any PHP tool, because every output is already gziped by Apache, and a double encoding done by PHP would screw results...

HTH,

Here are the related entries:

_SERVER["HTTP_ACCEPT_ENCODING"] gzip,deflate

Hi!

Sadly those are not the settings I that are related to PHP configuration. Those values only show the HTTP headers send to and from your page, which is something different.
