Detailed question
| I am principally a Java Developer who also manages a small web application on the side. It has Apache version 1.3.41 with SSL version as the web server that talks to Tomcat as the application server. I wanted to implement compression with mod_gzip.so module for the Apache webserver. I downloaded, configured and compiled, the GZip module source code from http://schroepl.net/projekte/mod_gzip/install.htm as per the instructions for the "Dynamic Install". I even set basic Apache GZip module configurations in httpd.conf as per the instructions on http://schroepl.net/projekte/mod_gzip/config.htm. However, when I restart the Apache SSL server, it shows the following warning: Loaded DSO libexec/mod_gzip.so uses plain Apache 1.3 API, this module might crash under EAPI! (please recompile it with -DEAPI) But it does restart the Apache webserver. However, when I attempt to access the web application, it just displays a blank page, meaning the webserver was up and running and could be found, but it just did not serve any content. I reviewed the various log files including Apache error logs, domlogs, Tomcat logs, but basically it appears as if the browser request is just held-up upfront and it doesn't even hit any of the servers or doesn't even generate any logs at all. A file mod_gzip.log did get created but remains as 0 bytes forever. I go back into httpd.conf and comment out loading of GZip module, restart Apache and it starts up perfectly without any warning and then everything works just fine. The instructions for the above mentioned GZip module says it is meant for Apache 1.3, but then I do not know why it is not working. Due to other reasons, installing Apache 2.0 web server that has in-built GZip functionality is not an option. I amd not sure if the module for Tomcat (mod_jk.so) or if the SSL functionality is clashing / incompatible with mod_gzip. I am willing to pay around $10-to-$15 if you know the exact answer. Since I have already done a lot of research over the web to resolve this issue, generic information returned by Search Engines wil not help. Only serious gurus with detailed profile listing their experience should bid. p.s. There was no category for Servers and so I posted my question under this category. |
