Can you enable gzip compression on a windows server?

Hi sadegazoz
Did you get any solution to your problem. I have exactly the same problem. Please let me know if you were able to resolve it.
Thanks

My host Yahoo! Small business web hosting doesn't allow .htaccess use!

What a downer! T_T

Oh god, get out of Yahoo Small Business.

Sign up with the server recommended on this site. It may cost you more money but it'll be worth it.

This also isn't working for me.

When I remove the ## on both lines, my site returns a 500 error.

My knockoutcentral.com is located in a subfolder under htdocs. My absolute server location is correct:

php_value auto_prepend_file /home/users/web/b266/pow.lifelo/htdocs/knockoutcentral/begin_gzip.php
php_value auto_append_file /home/users/web/b266/pow.lifelo/htdocs/knockoutcentral/end_gzip.php

I got the same when I tried it... not sure why...

I planned to have another attempt in the future

I have the same problem here.

I just overwrote the begin_gzip.php and end_gzip.php files with the versions from 9.9, and I'm still getting the same 500 error. The code in both is the same.

I also chmod'd both files to 755 from 644, and the problem hasn't changed.
