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
toAllowOverride 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 pressEnter
to confirm saving changes.
- Press
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.
