    Cpanel install a preconfigured mod_gzip installing apache

    I suggest these modifications

    FROM
    mod_gzip_maximum_file_size 0
    TO
    mod_gzip_maximum_file_size 500000

    0 means unlimited and it could be a problem with extremely large html files

    FROM
    mod_gzip_temp_dir /tmp
    TO
    mod_gzip_temp_dir /tmp/gzip
    (don't forget to do #mkdir /tmp/gzip;chmod 777 /tmp/gzip)

    so you can track mod_gzip usage better .

    FROM
    mod_gzip_maximum_inmem_size 1000000
    TO
    mod_gzip_maximum_inmem_size 60000

    (I cannot understand why Cpanel set a value so high, 1000000 ! It could cause problems)


    then I suggest you to ADD
    mod_gzip_min_http 1000
    mod_gzip_handle_methods GET POST


    REMOVE LINE
    mod_gzip_item_exclude reqheader "User-agent: Mozilla/4.0[678]"
    bugzilla
    http://bugzilla.cpanel.net/show_bug.cgi?id=1458

    Infact documents writes
    # From version 1.3.19.2a on I advise against using filters
    # for User-agents, as this will cause HTTP-Headers 'Vary: User-Agent'
    # to be generated


    If you want log for some time to check out it works
    ADD
    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}n pct." common_with_mod_gzip_info2

    CustomLog logs/mod_gzip.log common_with_mod_gzip_info2
    mod_gzip_add_header_count Yes


    Restart apache

    To understand messages received in mod_giz log file
    read http://www.schroepl.net/projekte/mod_gzip/status.htm



    Then comment these lines if you are just using a php accelerator (for example mmcache)
    #mod_gzip_item_include file \.php$
    #mod_gzip_item_include file \.phps$
    #mod_gzip_item_include mime ^application/x-httpd-php.*

    </Files>

    Instead of this you could include the line:

    Code:
    mod_gzip_item_exclude mime ^image/
    This comparision seems a little less intentsive than the above quoted comparision and so might reduce load a little.

    Although please correct me if I'm wrong!

    This bug has recently been added to the database. Nobody has validated that this bug is true. Users who have the "canconfirm" permission set may confirm this bug, changing its state to NEW. Or, it may be directly resolved and marked RESOLVED.

    Looks like it still isn't ready for prime time?

    I would suggest using Apache's deflate module instead of gzip, since it is still unstable in cPanel.
