Mod_gzip.so with Apache2 and Windows Server 2003

Here's to headbutting the server (cheers).

I'm working through an installation of mod_gzip.so for Apache2 running on Windows Server 2003.

With my current configuration, Apache successfully starts and recognizes itself as Apache/2.0.53 (Win32) PHP/5.0.4 mod_gzip/2.0.50.

However, when I run tests (leknor.com) on my site with many different file types... not a single file type returns as being compressed.

My only guess is that I have inadequately configured the Apache httpd.conf file for the mod_gzip module.

This is what is in my httpd.conf file for the mod_gzip module:

Code:

# For Mod_Gzip
LoadModule gzip_module modules/mod_gzip.so
#
# Configuration for mod_gzip
<IfModule mod_gzip.so>
	LogFormat "%h %l %u %t \"%r\" %>s %b mod_gzip: %{mod_gzip_result}n In:%{mod_gzip_input_size}n Out:%{mod_gzip_output_size}n Ratio:%{mod_gzip_compression_ratio}npct." common_with_mod_gzip_info2
	CustomLog logs/gzip.log common_with_mod_gzip_info2
	mod_gzip_on Yes
	mod_gzip_item_include file \.html$
	mod_gzip_item_include file \.php$
	mod_gzip_item_include file \.htm$
	mod_gzip_item_include mime text/.*
	mod_gzip_item_exclude file error/.*
	mod_gzip_item_exclude mime ^image/.*
	mod_gzip_temp_dir "d:/Apache2/tmp"
	mod_gzip_command_version mod_gzip_version
	mod_gzip_dechunk yes
	# mod_gzip_keep_workfiles Yes
</IfModule>
# End of mod_gzip

Even after trying many differnt "sample" configurations from various websites, no files show as compressed.

As far as installing the mod in the first place, I used these steps (kwc.org).

The only change I had to make was in the "my_cfg.txt" configuration. Its <IfModule mod_gzip.c> was incorrect in that I am loading module mod_gzip.so.

Where should I start for correctly configuring mod_gzip to compress the content on my webserver? I expect to compress (htm, html, php, js, css).

Thanks!
