my question:

1. does DA has mod_zip installed by default?
mine is installed by default i think, cause i have
</IfDefine>
AddModule mod_gzip.c
at my httpd.conf


2. what's the difference between gzip and mod_gzip?

3. If a forum such as IPB had been enabled with gzip, what' the use i install gzip or mod_gzip?

4. if i want to install mod_gzip, is apache compiled as static or dynamic as this is one of the required information.

5. how do i know if images are cached in which browser, such as IE? just by the sense of my eyes?

thanks.

btw, has anybody installed mmcache, and it work with zend optimizer? any tips?

Hello,

mod_gzip is not installed with DA.

mod_gzip (I think gzip is just shorthand) is used to compress data before sending it. The browser would then uncompress it at the other end.

I don't really know the deatails.. like if it's used for dynamic pages, but it will generally speed things up (so I hear :))

4) dynamic

5) if they are cached, they should blink open instantly. Test it out with a huge jpg or something (like 1 meg) .. and you'll find out pretty quick :)
