all help appriciated

Are you running mod_mime and/or mod_negotiation? Check your core modules httpd -l and the loaded modules. It doesn't appear to be reading the MIME type properly, so it tossed it. If it doesn't work/show the page and you reload it, does it make any difference?

Thanks for reply, yes we are running mod_mime and mod_negotiation, i tried commenting them out but httpd would not restart, reported error.

All pages load and display ok, it is just that they are not being compressed.


this is a real pain, it is on a cpanel.whm server and the tar file was from cpanel.net.

Not sure what you mean by httpd -l i tried this from consol but it reported command not found.


many thanks

Update:
Hello Tim, yes i think you are right it being the mod_mime and mod_negotiation, but i have not been able to find a solution, i did find something about not having an index.html file in localhost doc root but having index.html.eng etc. I cp index.html.eng to localhost doc root as index.html but no change.


Here are my httpd conf entries

thanks for help
