Disabling SSL Compression in Apache

kaplan71 · 10-25-2013, 09:08 AM

Hello --

We are running an Apache 1.3.10 server with mod_ssl, and I need to disable SSL Compression. The configuration for the server include the httpd.conf and ssl.conf files.

The syntax that I am planning to use to disable the compression is the following:

Code:

SSLCompression off

The question that I had is which of the files mentioned should the above line be inserted in order for the change to go into effect?

Thanks.

Hello -- I had a follow-up to my posting. For starters, the version of Apache that is running is not the aforementioned 1.3.10, but rather the 2.2.15 release.
It appears the above command will not work on the server in question, as it is available for later versions.

It will probably be easier if I simply disable mod_ssl on the server, and I wanted to know if going to the ssl.conf file and commenting out the following line with a subsequent restart of Apache will do the job:

LoadModule ssl_module modules/mod_ssl.so
