Set Configuration To Speed up MythWeb Page Loading

[Tom G]

I have posted a fairly simple tweak to apache config file to speed up page load time when using mythweb. It reduced the times from about 45 seconds to around 12 seconds. It was recommended by others on the ubuntu forum to report this as a possible improvement for default behavior and configuration of mythweb on ubuntu.

Original post which shows how to manually configure apache mythweb file to load pages faster.

Actually there are two steps

First

Change /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/mythwebdir

Original contents

---

<Directory "/var/www/mythweb">
    Options FollowSymLinks
    AllowOverride All
</Directory>

---

Modified contents

---

<Directory "/var/www/mythweb">
    Options FollowSymLinks
    AllowOverride All
    ExpiresActive On
    ExpiresByType application/x-_javascript_ "modification plus 1 year"
</Directory>

For this to work correctly there is a second step.

Second -- apache must load some additional modules.

The following are the modules that made it work.

cd /etc/apache2/mods-available
sudo a2enmod expires
sudo a2enmod deflate
sudo a2enmod headers

and restart apache

sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 reload

Thanks for the tip. This sounds like something we might be able to
incorporate into MCC along with our other tweaks.

I think these make plenty of sense for mythweb defaults if we could
incorporate into packaging. If not, then mcc tweaks would suffice.

There is a whole section already in mythweb.conf. Remove the comments from in front of these lines and then:
sudo a2enmod headers
sudo a2enmod deflate

Mythweb then runs much quicker (my initial reload took a long time but that could have been the internet tubes being clogged, ITS NOT A TRUCK!).

@superm1 do you know where the mythweb apache2 conf file comes from? I've been searching both packaging and mythtv source and can't find it. I see a separate git repo for mythweb, but looking through our build scripts I don't see how it's getting pulled in.

[Tom G (tagra123)]

I think the file you are looking for is in /etc/apache2 for the
sites-enabled. ???
