File caching permanently for server - httpd.conf

[postcd]

Hello,

i would like to set caching of files like images and other media.

# 480 weeks
<FilesMatch "\.(ico|pdf|flv|jpg|jpeg|png|gif|js|css|swf)$">
Header set Cache-Control "max-age=290304000, public"
</FilesMatch>

this should be added into httpd.conf, but i would like to add it into WHM so changes remain. How can i apply this for particular user account and or entire server please?

Thank You

The following section of our EasyApache documentation explains how to add custom entries within <VirtualHost></VirtualHost> containers and have them preserved when cPanel and/or Apache is updated:

Changes Contained within a VirtualHost Directive

Also, this page provides an overview of how cPanel and Apache interact, with links to more documentation explaining how to customize Apache and PHP:

The Apache Web Server and cPanel & WHM

Is there any guide how to add my code into WHM? Above manuals too difficult to study.

[cPanelJared]

No, the modifications must be done via the shell by editing the files mentioned in the documentation to which I referred you.

Are there any particular sections of our documentation that you find difficult to understand? We welcome any suggestions that we can use to improve our documentation and make it both more informative and easier to read.

Your manual is good, but im not a native speaker so its hard for me to get thru all info. I have seen this guide (How to Enable mod_deflate GZIP Compression on CPanel Web Hosts » My Digital Life), and author says:

Turn On mod_deflate GZIP Compress for Whole Server Globally

Login to WebHost Manager (WHM), and go to Services Configuration -> Apache Configuration -> Include Editor -> Post VirtualHost Include. Select All Versions for “I wish to edit the Post VirtualHost configuration include file for” option.

I would like to try it if it will decrease my Server Load. Are the mentioned rules good in your eyes? Is it proper way to edit PHP config on cPanel server?

If you want this enabled globally for the server, you can indeed try putting it into the Post VirtualHost Include section as indicated. Otherwise, you might try the Pre VirtualHost Include section in WHM > Apache Configuration > Include Editor area.

If you're trying to cache files generated through php so that you can save some php/mysql resources, look at php buffer functions, they can be helpful
