For mod_gzip 1.3.26a install.

1. login as root user to your server
2. create /home/modgziptmp directory

mkdir /home/modgziptmp

chmod 5777 /home/modgziptmp

3. grab mod_gzip 1.3.26a.1a source files and place them in /usr/local/src

cd /usr/local/src

wget http://telia.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/mod-gzip/mod_gzip-1.3.26.1a.tgz

4. extract files and change to directory

tar xfz mod_gzip-1.3.26.1a.tgz

cd mod_gzip-1.3.26.1a

5. compile/install mod_gzip by typing 2 commands (note path/to/apxs maybe different on your server)

make APXS=/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs

make install APXS=/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs

6. Add the mod_gzip configuration settings after mod_gzip.c in httpd.conf


quote:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

<IfModule mod_gzip.c>
mod_gzip_on Yes

</IfModule>

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

7. restart apache

/etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd stop

/etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd start

8. check to see if mod_gzip is installed

go to http://www.nibbleguru.com/tools/gzip-test.php and enter your server/site url

So how do I know if my browser is actually asking for it zipped or not?
