[solved] htaccess and gzip
 

Hello there, I've a question about how compression works with LSWS, I have it activated and dynamic too, however it looks like it is only compressing php files and nothing else.

For example if I try to go to http://mysite.com/page.php I'll see the header Content-Encoding gzip , gut if I reach the file http://mysite.com/style.css the header doesn't even appear and of course is not being compressed.

Is this how it works? do LSWS only compress elements that are being called by a PHP?

On the compression types I have: text/*

Also I have tried to tweak .htaccess without success

Anyone can bring some light or smack me? :)

gzip settings at
lsws admin console->Server->Tuning->GZIP Compression

for example, there is an option:
Min Static File Size (bytes):default is 300

mean if file size of .css etc less than 300 bytes, then no gzip.

Oh I was aware of that :) the style I'm trying to reach is about 88K so it should be compressed, the min and max values are 300B / 1M so I'm still unsure what could be this issue, thanks for the quick response NiteWave.

by default, .css/.js is compressed, you needn't configure anything.
you can check this support forum with firebug, it's running litespeed.

@NiteWave: Yeah I've done that test too and it is not being gzipped, I can PM you the URL if you want to confirm :) thanks.

Post your settings for
If Auto Update Static is set to Yes, check Static GZIP Cache Directory (default to swap directory /tmp/lshttpd/swap if Static GZIP Cache Directory field is empty) and make sure it is writeable by web server user _and_ it is not full.

@webizen: thanks, it is not activated :)

try

Auto Update Static => Yes

Oh my bad, Auto update static was activated and it is saving now on the Swap directory, I got a little confused about the static gzip cache directory which is pretty much by default swap dir unless specified.

Thanks for your help guys, you really rock :)
