I'm trying to configure the mod_expires options for one of my websites.

My system is running Red Hat Ent 3 and Plesk (7.5.1).

My system is configured so that the main httpd.conf is in /etc/httpd/conf

The main httpd.conf also includes files for each site, for example if you have a site called mysite.com it will include:

/home/httpd/vhosts/mysite.com/conf/httpd.include

However, the comments in the httpd.include files make it very clear that you should not modify that file with this comment:

CODE

# ATTENTION!

# DO NOT MODIFY THIS FILE OR ANY PART OF IT. THIS CAN RESULT IN IMPROPER PLESK

# FUNCTIONING OR FAILURE, CAUSE DAMAGE AND LOSS OF DATA. IF YOU REQUIRE CUSTOM

# MODIFICATIONS TO BE APPLIED TO THE CONFIGURATION, PLEASE, PERFORM THEM IN THE

# FOLLOWING FILE(S):

# /home/httpd/vhosts/mysite.com/conf/vhost.conf

# /home/httpd/vhosts/mysite.com/conf/vhost_ssl.conf

# /home/httpd/vhosts/mysite.com/subdomains/<subdomain-name>/conf/vhost.conf

So, as it says I created a file called vhost.conf and put the following in it:

CODE

# Enable and set default cache rule

ExpiresActive On

ExpiresDefault "access plus 0 minutes"

# images

ExpiresByType image/gif "modification plus 10 years"

ExpiresByType image/png "modification plus 10 years"

ExpiresByType image/jpeg "modification plus 10 years"

# html and text (Don't cache)

ExpiresByType text/html "access plus 0 minutes"

ExpiresByType text/plain "access plus 0 minutes"

# other types (Short cache)

ExpiresByType text/css "access plus 1 days"

ExpiresByType application/x-javascript "access plus 1 days"

I restarted apache and cleared my browsers cache and then visited my site, but the headers show that no expiration details are being sent.

Heres an example header:

CODE

(Status-Line)    HTTP/1.1 200 OK

Accept-Ranges    bytes

Connection    close

Content-Length    10448

Content-Type    image/png

Date    Wed, 06 Apr 2005 11:23:05 GMT

ETag    "c0500a-28d0-30661480"

Last-Modified    Fri, 02 Jan 2004 23:18:26 GMT

Server    Apache/2.0.46 (Red Hat)

Any ideas?

Theres nothing in my main errors.log.

My main httpd.conf contains the following line,so it should be ok:

LoadModule expires_module modules/mod_expires.so

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

You need to run

CODE

/usr/local/psa/admin/sbin/websrvmng --reconfigure-vhost --vhost-name=yourdomain.com

and then restart httpd in order for Plesk to begin reading from the vhost.conf.

Thats great thanks, I'll give it a go.

Out of interest, where is that documented?

Thanks again

Or you can just run

websrvmng -a -v

Does the same thing
