By default in my .htaccess file the definition for Gzip is as follows:
##### Gzip Begin #####
## To enable Gzip and decrease the load times of your Pligg site
## change /home/path/to to your absolute server path and remove the two # from both lines
##php_value auto_prepend_file /home/path/to/begin_gzip.php
##php_value auto_append_file /home/path/to/end_gzip.php

I change these too lines by removing comments:
php_value auto_prepend_file /home/meshedli/to/begin_gzip.php
php_value auto_append_file /home/meshedli/to/end_gzip.php

and I get INTERNAL SERVER ERROR. A 500 Internal Server Error. Can anyone please tell me what I am doing wrong. When I recomment those two lines the error goes, but I need gzip working.

Thanks in advance.

/home/meshedli/to/begin_gzip.php

I doubt that is the path to the file - you need to get rid of the to/ in the path, and then make sure you have the full path to the file there.

Thanks for that tip.

i tried changing the abolute path but was still unsuccessful.php_value

auto_prepend_file /home/meshedli/public_html/begin_gzip.php
php_value auto_append_file /public_html/meshedli/to/end_gzip.php

I believe i am getting something wrong in my path. Could anyone show me a sample abolute path to the .php files. My begin_zip.php and end_gzip.php are in my public_html folder and my absolute server path is /home/meshedli

thank you.

I'd have thought they should be:

php_value auto_prepend_file /home/meshedli/public_html/begin_gzip.php
php_value auto_append_file /home/meshedli/public_html/end_gzip.php

Simon thanks for the response. I tired this

php_value auto_prepend_file /home/meshedli/public_html/begin_gzip.php
php_value auto_append_file /home/meshedli/public_html/end_gzip.php

and I still get the Internal Server Error. I have gotten a confirmation from my host that gzip is supported. I am still daunted. Any help will be well appreciated.

Why don't you just ask your host what your absolute server path is?

[ozo]

I have contacted my host they said my absolute path is /home/meshedli/

Although I did discover this error in my logs:

/home/meshedli/public_html/.htaccess: Invalid command 'php_value', perhaps mis-spelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration

I believe this is the source of the problem, but I dont fully understand what I have to do to correct it.

Any help would be really appreciated.

Thanks, Ozo
