How to enable GZIP Compression in Apache Server to Speed up Website

Filed Under: Tutorials

Tags: Apache, gzip compression, httpd, mod_deflate, speed up website

Compression is a simple and effective way to speed up your site. Modern browsers supports gzip compressed content and are capable of uncompressing gzip data into plain text.

The gzip module configuration depends on your Apache Server version:
Apache 1.3 uses mod_gzip while Apache 2.x uses mod_deflate.

mod_gzip configuration for Apache 1.3.x:

<IfModule mod_gzip.c>
mod_gzip_on Yes
mod_gzip_dechunk Yes
mod_gzip_item_include file \.(html?|txt|css|js|php)$
mod_gzip_item_include handler ^cgi-script$
mod_gzip_item_include mime ^text/.*
mod_gzip_item_include mime ^application/x-javascript.*
mod_gzip_item_exclude mime ^image/.*
mod_gzip_item_exclude rspheader ^Content-Encoding:.*gzip.*
</IfModule>

How to Add – Remove the WWW Prefix from Domain Name Using .htaccess

Filed Under: Tutorials

Tags: Apache, httpd

To avoid duplicate content problem with search engines, you have to redirect all pages to one common URL.

This you can achieve using mod_rewrite of apache and .htaccess.

To redirect any URL starting with www.domain.tld to domain.tld, you have to add the following code to .htaccess file.

Do a 301 redirect for all http requests that are going to the wrong url.

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.domain\.tld$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://domain.tld/$1 [R=301,L]
</IfModule>

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^domain.tld$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://domain.tld/$1 [L,R=301]
</IfModule>

To redirect domain.tld to www.domain.tld -

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^domain\.tld$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.domain.tld/$1 [R=301,L]
</IfModule>

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www.domain.tld$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.domain.tld/$1 [L,R=301]
</IfModule>

Directory index forbidden by Options directive

Filed Under: Tutorials

Tags: Apache, httpd

I was going through error log and saw this error in error log file. To solve this problem, In /etc/httpd/conf.d you will see a file entitled welcome.conf

It looks like this:

<LocationMatch “^/+$”>
Options -Indexes
ErrorDocument 403 /error/noindex.html
</LocationMatch>

Change it to this:

<LocationMatch “^/+$”>
Options Indexes
ErrorDocument 403 /error/noindex.html
</LocationMatch>

Just remove the hyppen(-) before the Indexes, that’s it. I hope this will solve your problem.
