Gzip is not working properly:

Hi @djole74,

Try removing this part from the .htaccess file:

<IfModule mod_deflate.c>
SetOutputFilter DEFLATE
<IfModule mod_setenvif.c>
# Netscape 4.x has some problems…
BrowserMatch ^Mozilla/4 gzip-only-text/html

# Netscape 4.06-4.08 have some more problems
BrowserMatch ^Mozilla/4\.0[678] no-gzip

# MSIE masquerades as Netscape, but it is fine
# BrowserMatch \bMSIE !no-gzip !gzip-only-text/html

# NOTE: Due to a bug in mod_setenvif up to Apache 2.0.48
# the above regex won’t work. You can use the following
# workaround to get the desired effect:
BrowserMatch \bMSI[E] !no-gzip !gzip-only-text/html

# Don’t compress images
SetEnvIfNoCase Request_URI .(?:gif|jpe?g|png)$ no-gzip dont-vary
</IfModule>

And enable gzip from Hummingbird. After you enable it, press on ‘re-check status’ button.

Best regards,
Anton

Internal Server Error

site crash
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

Please contact the server administrator at [email protected] to inform them of the time this error occurred, and the actions you performed just before this error.

More information about this error may be available in the server error log.

Additionally, a 500 Internal Server Error error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

Sorry, my mistake, didn’t see an extra if statement. Just for the sake of the test, remove the whole block that you posted from the .htaccess file and try rechecking the status from the plugin and applying automatic settings.

Best regards,
Anton

Now the htaccess is empty and I still get HTML Disabled.

This is what I have in my .htaccess file from Hummingbird:

Could you try pasting this in?

@djole74,

Strange. What is your Apache version?

Server Information
Item Detail
Hosting Package cPanelSSD2
Server Name cloudweb
cPanel Version 66.0 (build 24)
Apache Version 2.4.27
PHP Version 5.6.31
MySQL Version 10.0.32-MariaDB
Architecture x86_64
Operating System linux
Shared IP Address 144.217.30.144
Path to Sendmail /usr/sbin/sendmail
Path to Perl /usr/bin/perl
Perl Version 5.16.3
Kernel Version 2.6.32-042stab120.11

And if you remove absolutely everything from .htaccess file and re-check the status from Hummingbird, will you see the same settings? Or will JavaScript and CSS be disabled? I’m just trying to understand what’s blocking the settings from the .htaccess file.

Same, only HTML disabled.
On cPanel I have Optimize Website.
https://prntscr.com/gvna3v
I tried all the combinations.

Just for testing purposes I recommend you disable cPanel optimization for now. We need to find what’s blocking the .htaccess file. Sometimes it can be the server configuration or a plugin conflict. I’m assuming you don’t have any more optimization plugins installed and enabled. Let’s try one last test:

1. Disable cPanel optimization (if not already).
2. Empty the .htaccess file. Go to Hummingbird and re-check the gzip status. If nothing changes, go to the next step.
3. Enable automatic configuration for Apache server in Hummingbird. Verify that all the rules have been added to the .htaccess file. Once again click on ‘re-check status’ button.

If you don’t see any changes, that means your .htaccess file is ignored by Apache. You should ask your hosting support if they have AllowOverride All directive set for your site. If it’s not set, no mater what you put in your .htaccess file, it’s not going to be applied.

I’ve tried all the suggested steps but nothing.

Hi,

We do allow overrides on our cPanel server and .htaccess file is applied.

This error is not related to gzip, it’s going to be fixed in the next version.

Let’s test if .htaccess is working.

The simple solution to verify and check if the .htacess configuration file is even touched and parsed is forcing an error. More precisely a 500 Internal Server Error.

In order to do that you simple add something to the first line of the config file that doesn’t make any sense. This could be a single letter or number, a word, basically anything that is not a directive.

If you get the 500 Internal Server Error you know that the file has been read because that line triggered the error.

If you don’t get an error your server setup is wrong because your .htaccess has not even been touched.

I got 500 Internal Server Error.
