Just tweaking a cache plugin on my website and W3 Plugin support team recommend to enable mod_expires — Where and how I can do that…?
Thank You in Advance!
Hello @Artur,
To enable the mod_expires module you will need to edit the main Apache configuration file at /opt/bitnami/apache2/conf/httpd.conf and uncomment the line below so that it looks like this:
...
LoadModule expires_module modules/mod_expires.so
And restart apache:
$ sudo /opt/bitnami/ctlscript.sh restart apache
You can check the module is enabled running:
$ /opt/bitnami/apache2/bin/apachectl -M | grep expire
I go to
`/opt/bitnami/apache2/conf/httpd.conf`
and do not see a
'LoadModule expires_module modules/mod_expires.so'
I create this line and restarted my instance
Also when try to RUN your command for check
'$ /opt/bitnami/apache2/bin/apachectl -M | grep expire expires_module (shared)'
I have some message command not found - please see attached image
Hello @Artur,
It is strange you do not have the expires_module line in the config file httpd.conf, could you check if it is present with this command:
$ cat /opt/bitnami/apache2/conf/httpd.conf | grep expires_module
That should output the line you need to uncomment.
Regarding the missing command, please try running the command without the initial $, as this is used to represent in written form that the line is a command to be run on a console. There is no need for the instance to be restarted, running the command to restart apache should suffice for the change to take effect.

Thank You for superfast response!
I do not know about the $ — I am sorry this command lines magic is new for me
When I go to my FTP I find 2 nd file and this line have this line for some reason I can fin this on published file but when run Your command now I see both of the comment and uncomment
see attached images
So this mines that this is working correct?
This backup file have this line - for some reason the published do not have
I just added and restarted
Hello @Artur,
Don’t worry about it! Yes, it seems the mod_expires module is now enabled in Apache.
