Crashed My Site Crashed after GZip Plugin installed.

Hi Eric,

The website is works since I′ve deleted everyting between:

from # BEGIN GZIP COMPRESSION BY RICHARD\’S TOOLBOX

till # END GZIP COMPRESSION in the .htaccess file.

Now the Gzip plugin is inactive.

I don′t dare to activate again ′till it′s not clear.

The remaining contents are:
# BEGIN WordPress

# BEGIN GZIP COMPRESSION BY RICHARD’S TOOLBOX

# END GZIP COMPRESSION
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress

Thank you r for your help.

Dear Eric,

Sorry to bother you, … so do you have any idea how to solve my issue with gzip? Pls. read above.

In the meantime, I reinstalled the gzip plugin without any positive results.

I′m waiting for your kind answer.
Thanks
Andrew

Hi Andrew,

Sorry for the late reply, no problem to bother me ??

You can do 2 things for me:
– Try enabling GZIP compression WITHOUT checking to checkbox for CSS etc.
– Pasting the contents of the debug link on the bottom of the gzip page.

I had the same issue with the Internal Server Error. It’s working now after unchecking the Extra Compression for CSS, etc. Thanks Eric!

Hi Eric,
Spoke too soon. After I enable it, if I recheck the plugin it says it’s disabled again. This is with Extra Compression not checked. With it checked, I get the Internal Server Error page.

Contents of .htaccess file:

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /cei-test/
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /cei-test/index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress

Thanks!

Hi Merel,

Thanks for the reply. Is it possible for you to paste the debug info from the bottom of the gzip page ?

Hi manoharan,

Easiest solution is to totally clean your htaccess. After that, go to settings > permalinks (/wp-admin/options-permalink.php) and click on save changes.

good luck!

Hi Eric

i am trying to add the following code.

# Compress HTML File, CSS File, JavaScript File, Text File, XML File and Fonts
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/plain
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/html
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/xml
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/x-httpd-php
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/css
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/xml
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/xhtml+xml
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/rss+xml
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/javascript
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/x-javascript
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE font/otf
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE font/ttf

If i remove the code, it works fine. Can you suggest me how to enable compression without getting error?
