[Mod_gzip] mod_gzip and solaris 9

[Matthew Claridge]

Hi,

I'm running mod_gzip 1.3.26.1a on a Solaris 9 (sparc) server with Apache 
version 1.3.27.

I've compiled the mod_gzip module from source using APXS and installed 
it. Basically it isn't working. At all. The mod_gzip log file is empty 
and it just doesn't seem to be trying to processing any content whatsoever.

I'm using exactly the same configuration on a Linux box with the same 
Apache and mod_gzip versions and that's working fine.

The mod_gzip configuration is pretty standard:

LoadModule gzip_module libexec/mod_gzip.so
AddModule mod_gzip.c

#<IfModule mod_gzip.c>
mod_gzip_on     yes
mod_gzip_command_version        '/mod_gzip_status'
mod_gzip_temp_dir       /tmp
mod_gzip_keep_workfiles No
mod_gzip_minimum_file_size      300
mod_gzip_maximum_file_size      500000
mod_gzip_maximum_inmem_size     60000
mod_gzip_handle_methods         GET POST
mod_gzip_item_include   file    jsp
mod_gzip_item_include   file    \.htm$
mod_gzip_item_include   file    \.html$
mod_gzip_item_exclude   file    \.js$
mod_gzip_item_exclude   file    \.css$
mod_gzip_item_include   file    \.pl$
mod_gzip_item_include   handler ^cgi-script$
mod_gzip_item_include   mime    ^text/html
mod_gzip_item_include   mime    ^text/xml
mod_gzip_item_include   mime    ^text/plain
mod_gzip_item_include   mime    ^text/.*
mod_gzip_item_include   mime    ^httpd/unix-directory
mod_gzip_item_exclude   mime    ^image/
mod_gzip_dechunk        yes

LogFormat       "%h %l %u %t \"%V %r\" %<s %b mod_gzip: 
%{mod_gzip_result}n In:%{mod_gzip_input_size}n -< Out:%{mod_gzip
_output_size}n = %{mod_gzip_compression_ratio}n pct." 
common_with_mod_gzip_info2

CustomLog       /var/log/httpd/mod_gzip.log common_with_mod_gzip_info2

mod_gzip_add_header_count     Yes
mod_gzip_send_vary            Yes



Apache reports at startup that mod_gzip is indeed the first module being 
loaded:

[notice] Apache/1.3.27 (Unix) mod_gzip/1.3.26.1a Resin/2.1.3 
mod_ssl/2.8.12 OpenSSL/0.9.6g configured -- resuming normal operations


Anybody got any ideas whats going on here?

cheers
