Antwort: [Mod_gzip] Compiling mod_gzip for Apache 2.x

Hi Etienne,

which version of mod_gzip are you trying to use with Apache 2.1?

> When starting the Apache server we get the following:
> Cannot load /opt/apache/servicenet/modules/mod_gzip.so into server:

Again: Which version?

Be aware that mod_gzip 1.3 would not run with Apache 2.x
(Apache API totally incompatible) while mod_gzip 2.0 doesn't
ship with its own gzipping routine but relies on the "zlib"
(including "deflate") being (properly) installed already.

Are you able to compile and run Apache 2.1 with mod_deflate
(which uses the same "zlib" code)? Do you need to tell the
compilation process where you installed "zlib" in this case?

Regards, Michael
