How to enable compression in WAMP running on Windows Server 2008?

I searched the net and I followed these steps given here: http://www.zigpress.com/2009/04/09/enabling-gzip-on-wamp/.

But after restarting my WAMP the icon got yellow not green.

Than followed this post: http://forum.wampserver.com/read.php?2,93406.

Again the same problem my WAMP icon after restarting gets yellow.

This is the code I put in Apache httpd.conf:

<ifmodule mod_deflate.c> AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/html text/plain text/xml text/css text/javascript application/x-javascript application/javascript </ifmodule>

  • Did you try to use .htaccess instead of httpd.conf? Commented Oct 22, 2013 at 7:29

For use, AddOutputFilterByType should also activate the filter module. Uncomment LoadModule filter_module modules/mod_filter.so in the httpd.conf file

    +1 In the default WAMP installation, one can enable the deflate module from the UI, but this will not be enough if you want to use AddOutputFilterByType. You will also need to do this. Commented Mar 21, 2015 at 22:40

To enable Deflate compression for resources with WAMP (thus Apache), you can use this following code in your .htaccess file:

<IfModule mod_deflate.c> <FilesMatch "\.(html|php|txt|xml|js|css)$"> SetOutputFilter DEFLATE </FilesMatch> </IfModule>

It works well for several websites I own.
