CompressX works seamlessly with most Apache servers. If you get a rewrite rules error, follow these steps to ensure the CompressX plugin functions properly:

Step 1: Connect to Apache

Establish an SSH connection to your website. You can do that using an SSH client like PuTTY.

Step 2: Access Configuration Directory

Use the following command to open the Apache configuration directory for your website. Make sure to replace example.com with your own domain:

nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/example.com.conf

Step 3: Set AllowOverride to All

• Locate the line containing <Directory /var/www/> within the configuration file.
• Find the directive AllowOverride None within this section.
• Set AllowOverride None to AllowOverride All.

Step 4: Save and Close the File

• Once you’ve made the change, save and exit the file using these key combinations:
  • Press Ctrl + X to exit the editor.
  • Type y and press Enter to confirm saving changes.

Step 5: Restart Apache Server

• Execute this command to restart the Apache service:

service apache2 restart

Done. CompressX should now be working properly on your Apache server.
