Enable mod_expire apache module

mod_expire controls the setting of the Expires HTTP header and the max-age directive of the Cache-Control HTTP header in server responses. These HTTP headers are an instruction to the client about the document's validity and persistence. If cached, the document may be fetched from the cache rather than from the source until this time has passed. After that, the cache copy is considered "expired" and invalid, and a new copy must be obtained from the source.

Following are the steps to enable  mod_expire in the server.

* Open the file /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf and check if the following line present in it.



LoadModule expire_module modules/mod_expire.so

If not, add it.

* Then  create a new file /etc/httpd/conf.d/expire.conf with the lines:

 <IfModule mod_expires.c>
 ExpiresActive On
 ExpiresByType image/jpg "access plus 60 days"
 ExpiresByType image/png "access plus 60 days"
 ExpiresByType image/gif "access plus 60 days"
 ExpiresByType image/jpeg "access plus 60 days"
 ExpiresByType text/css "access plus 1 days"
 ExpiresByType image/x-icon "access plus 1 month"
 ExpiresByType application/pdf "access plus 1 month"
 ExpiresByType audio/x-wav "access plus 1 month"
 ExpiresByType audio/mpeg "access plus 1 month"
 ExpiresByType video/mpeg "access plus 1 month"
 ExpiresByType video/mp4 "access plus 1 month"
 ExpiresByType video/quicktime "access plus 1 month"
 ExpiresByType video/x-ms-wmv "access plus 1 month"
 ExpiresByType application/x-shockwave-flash "access 1 month"
 ExpiresByType text/javascript "access plus 1 week"
 ExpiresByType application/x-javascript "access plus 1 week"
