    Multisite installation.
    Plugin version: 0.9.7.3
    WP Version: 5.1.1

    Problem: On the directory page_enhanced, some blog directories have the .htaccess file missing.

    /path/to/cache/page_enhanced/domain.com/

    The missing .htaccess file makes the homepage not to load correctly, instead, the browser tryes to download a download.gz file.

    This is the .htaccess content on /path/to/cache/page_enhanced/domain.com/.htaccess

    # BEGIN W3TC Page Cache cache
AddDefaultCharset UTF-8
FileETag MTime Size
<IfModule mod_mime.c>
    AddType text/html .html_gzip
    AddEncoding gzip .html_gzip
    AddType text/xml .xml_gzip
    AddEncoding gzip .xml_gzip
</IfModule>
<IfModule mod_setenvif.c>
    SetEnvIfNoCase Request_URI \.html_gzip$ no-gzip
    SetEnvIfNoCase Request_URI \.xml_gzip$ no-gzip
</IfModule>
<IfModule mod_expires.c>
    ExpiresActive On
    ExpiresByType text/html M60
</IfModule>
<IfModule mod_headers.c>
    Header set Vary "Accept-Encoding, Cookie"
    Header set Pragma "public"
    Header append Cache-Control "public"
</IfModule>
# END W3TC Page Cache cache

    Problem happens from time to time, but several times a day.

    Update

    This happens when the domain directory e.g. www.domain.com under /path/to/cache/page_enhanced/ doesn’t exist. 

    ll /path/to/cache/page_enhanced/www.domain.com
drwxr-xr-x    2 www-data www-data     47 Apr  9 09:43 ./
drwxr-xr-x 1306 www-data www-data  73728 Apr  9 09:43 ../
-rw-r--r--    1 www-data www-data 103964 Apr  9 09:43 _index.html
-rw-r--r--    1 www-data www-data  14325 Apr  9 09:43 _index.html_gzip

    As you can see, the .htaccess file is missing.

    Without the .htaccess file, I get:

    Hello,

    Try to add:

    if ( defined( 'W3TC_PAGECACHE_STORE_COMPRESSION_OFF' ) ) {
			return $compressions;
		}

    to your PgCache_ContentGrabber.php somewhere around line 1191
    Constant allows to not generate _gzip and similar files. Helps for the cases when server configuration doesn’t allow mime type overwrites so cached content ends up with browser download action.

    Also, you need to add:

    define('W3TC_PAGECACHE_STORE_COMPRESSION_OFF', true);

    to wp-config.php file

    Thanks Marko, this is a VPC, and I’ve root access, is there something I can do to make it allow mime type overwrites? I guess we need gzip compression for performance.

    Hello,
    Gzip compression will still be enabled. only some files will not be stored.
    Check with your host for configuration to allow mime type overwrites.

    Hello Marko,

    I resolved this by adding the .htaccess rules on the global scope (global virtual host file), this way, even if the htaccess file is not available, the rules are already.

    In other hand, now that you guys have an official Github repository, I was thinking in sending a PR to check for the .htaccess file existance on every page_enhanced mod (…and if file doesn’t exist, create it).

    Thanks for your help!
