Hi,

I think I saw something here but I couldn't find it.

How to check whether mod gzip is installed on one server or not?

Thanks.

Well if you have access to the httpd.conf you can just look :D.

You can also use netcraft (http://uptime.netcraft.com/up/graph/) to query the server and see if mod_gzip shows.

leknor is the one I am missing, and the netcraft also get things done.

Thanks.

You can always telnet to it directly:


$ telnet example.com 80
GET / HTTP/1.1
Host: example.com
Accept-encoding: compress, gzip
(press enter twice)


If garbage shows up, then you have mod_gzip installed and working :)

Make a page with nothing but this below.

<?php
phpinfo();
?>

save the page as phpinfo.php

upload it, and enter the URL where the page is, It will show a list of modules loaded on the server, plus alot of other usefull information.

Yes, it will display all installed php modules. But mod_gzip is not a php module, it is an Apache module :rolleyes:

There is a section of phpinfo called "Apache Environment" in that section, there is a line that says SERVER_SOFTWARE. mod_gzip will be listed there if it's installed.
