How to Disable Deflate in Apache
- 1). Browse to and open the "httpd.conf" file within the Apache configuration directory. If you don't have access to this file due to server restrictions, browse to your ".htaccess" configuration file.
- 2). Locate the line of code below. This line enables deflation in Apache.
SetOutputFilter DEFLATE - 3). Type a "#" symbol in front of the line. This tells Apache to ignore that line of code. The line should now read as follows:
#SetOutputFilter DEFLATE - 4). Save your changes and restart the Apache server. You have disabled deflate and your website will now serve pages without any compression.
