[Plugin: W3 Total Cache] How important are these incompatibilites, and how do I address them?

    Hey folks,

    I’m running W3TC with WordPress 3.0.1 hosted on IX Web Hosting, a low-cost hosting service with a shared Linux server running Apache 1.3. Their service tends to be a bit bare-bones, and these things don’t pass the W3TC compatibility check:

    PHP Timezone: Not set
    Opcode cache: Not installed
    Memcache extension: Not installed
    mod_mime: Not detected
    mod_expires: Not detected
    mod_deflate / mod_gzip: Not detected
    mod_headers: Not detected
    mod_env: Not detected
    mod_setenvif: Not detected
    mod_rewrite: Not detected

    What are the consequences of these not being available, and how would an end user like me typically go about enabling them?

    thanks,
    Graham

    Not sure the plugin reads those right… I got same for these but they were installed:

    mod_mime: Not detected
    mod_expires: Not detected
    mod_deflate / mod_gzip: Not detected
    mod_headers: Not detected
    mod_env: Not detected
    mod_setenvif: Not detected
    mod_rewrite: Not detected

    As for these:
    Opcode cache: Not installed
    Memcache extension: Not installed

    Just use disk caching instead.

    The mod_ stuff isn’t always detected (it depends on how the server is configured). It isn’t on mine either.

    PHP Timezone matters for one of the external CDN options (I can’t remember which, as I don’t use them!)

    I’ve got the same results and W3TC works fine for me, using enhanced disk caching, and minify.

    @ravetildon and @efikim are correct.

    I have the same problem. I’m working 3 months on mu site to solve the expiration problem and to optimize it.
    My site is hosted on ixwebhosting and they are saying that every mode_ are installed except mod_gzip and mod_deflate. but mod_expires and mod_headers don’t work. I have tried different methods to write expiration rules in .htaccess.

    How can I solve this problem. please help me
