  • Many Linux hostings do not support the mod_expires module

    Auciou posted on January 15, 2010 at 21:03

    "mod_expires" is a very important module of Apache, but currently many Linux hostings do not support this module. Use the mod_expires module, may set the expiring time by the .htaccess for the picture files, Flash files, .js files, midi files, etc., make the site's speed faster, save a lot of traffic.

    My Linux space of IXWebHosting, the free hostings which GoDaddy presented to me, and a domestic Linux space, all of them do not support the mod_expires module. At present, the newer version of Apache is 2.2.*, such as 2.2.14, this version contains the mod_expires module, but the default does not turn on this module, in the default httpd.conf file, there is a # symbol before the sentence which loads the mod_expires module. But the Linux hosting of GoDaddy, use the Apache 1.3 version all the same.

    I posted an Email to GoDaddy yesterday, hope to turn on the mod_expires module, I've just received the reply of GoDaddy, they said that they do not want to turn on this module now, maybe this clerk did not know the important action of the mod_expires module. It seems that if need use the mod_expires module, just can use the others hosting of provider, or VPS.

    I've downloaded the Apache 2.2.14 version, tested on the local computer, the mod_expires module can be used normally.

    Because the demostic and overseas Linux hosting do not support the mod_expires module, can not directly set the expiring time by the .htaccess for the picture files.

    Hi there,
    I have a number of sites hosted on GoDaddy shared Linux accounts and I just can't seem to find a) which version of Apache is being used and b) which modules are available. Since my user account doesn't have privilege to run "httpd -M" at the command line I don't know what to do next. Do you have any suggestions which could help me out?

    Thanks
    Rob

    I have a suggestion. GODADDY SUCKS!

    No mod_expires? What a fucking joke. This is like the key
    module to making websites faster, and saving bandwidth and making the user experience more enjoyable.

    Godaddy doesn't care...
