[kanense]

Hi,

How to can I verify if gzip is enable? And if not, how can I active/install mod deflate/gzip under plesk 12?

Thank you

A simple google search would have answered your question....

Apache
http://howtounix.info/howto/Apache-gzip-compression-with-mod_deflate

Nginx
http://florianjensen.com/2013/08/03/enabling-gzip-compression-on-plesk-11-5s-nginx/

If you can't follow these instructions, it might be time to let someone else manage your server who is more qualified.

I have added to htaccess rules of deflate but not work,

I have check at

/etc/nginx/nginx.conf

SOLVED: add to above file:

gzip_types text/plain text/html text/css application/json application/x-javascript text/xml application/xml application/xml+rss text/javascript application/javascript text/x-js;

Hi, it sounds like you need to go learn your ABC's about running a web server.
nginx does not support htaccess. You need to decide if you're using nginx or apache to gzip for you.

hmm... maybe. the true as with the code inside htaccess:

<IfModule mod_deflate.c>
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/css application/x-javascript text/x-component text/html text/richtext image/svg+xml text/plain text/xsd text/xsl text/xml image/x-icon application/javascript
<IfModule mod_setenvif.c>
  BrowserMatch ^Mozilla/4 gzip-only-text/html
  BrowserMatch ^Mozilla/4\.0[678] no-gzip
  BrowserMatch \bMSIE !no-gzip !gzip-only-text/html
</IfModule>

compression not work.

after add the code to nginx.conf

gzip_types text/plain text/html text/css application/json application/x-javascript text/xml application/xml application/xml+rss text/javascript application/javascript text/x-js;

work

compression not work.

Yes, because it appears you have nginx serving your static content instead of apache. So you setting this for apache was a waste of time.

after add the code to nginx.conf

gzip_types text/plain text/html text/css application/json application/x-javascript text/xml application/xml application/xml+rss text/javascript application/javascript text/x-js;

work

Do you know, how to can I turn apache for that?

Thanks

 

[Josh12]

nginx is better at serving static content so I don't recommend making apache serve that content.
In case you want to activate apache anyways, you need to open the "Web Server Settings" for the site you want to have apache serve fully and uncheck "Smart Static Files Processing"
Reload apache.
