Bizarre Behavior – Not Working- GoDaddy Hosting

    Can anyone verify that WP Super Cache works on GD Linux Deluxe Shared Hosting as it is supposed to? And, if necessary, what modifications need to be made?

    On the surface, it appears to work. I see this on the first page load:

    <!-- Dynamic page generated in 0.779 seconds. -->
<!-- Cached page generated by WP-Super-Cache on 2009-04-16 09:55:51 -->

    and this on the second:

    <!-- Dynamic page generated in 0.779 seconds. -->
<!-- Cached page generated by WP-Super-Cache on 2009-04-16 09:55:51 -->
<!-- Compression = gzip -->

    I have checked the headers using the plugin for firefox, in which WP-Super-Cache: WP-Cache is there.

    However, YSlow reports that it is not gzipped. I tried using a couple online, which also report the same.
    http://www.whatsmyip.org/mod_gzip_test/
    http://nontroppo.org/tools/gziptest/
    http://www.seositecheckup.com/html_compression_status.php

    I will also add that I am having this problem on 3 sites, each hosted within a separate hosting account. I have WP-Cache running on one site on one of those accounts that reports being served as gzipped. So, WP-Cache is working and WP-Super-Cache is not. The sites with Super Cache never had WP Cache installed.

    I also tried using the ismyblogworking.com link and got this:
    The important stuff:

    * Your web server [IP] is working fine.
    * Your RSS feed is available.
    * Your blog is not indexed by Google. (it is)
    * Your blog seems slow. It took 4.91 seconds to generate the page.
    * Your blog application doesn’t support gzip compression.
    * Your blog doesn’t support client caching (no 304 response).
    * WP Super Cache is active.
    * Your feed doesn’t support caching (no 304 response).

    So, even though it appears to report that it is working, it doesn’t appear to actually be serving cached files or gzipped files.

    I tried it with the WP-Cache enabled blog and:
    * Your web server [IP] is working fine.
    * Your RSS feed is available.
    * Your blog is indexed by Google.
    * Your blog supports client caching (304 response).
    * Your feed supports caching (304 response).

    I should also mention that the version is 0.9.3.1 (latest) the rewrite rules are in place and I also tried altering:

    AddEncoding gzip .gz
 AddType text/html .gz

    to

    AddEncoding x-gzip .gz
 AddType text/html .gz

    And, why this didn’t end up in the proper forum, I have no idea. it should be in the plugins forum 🙂

    dreamwhisper – what happens if you turn wp-super-cache to half-on mode?

    I don’t know why it’s not working for you and I don’t have a Dreamhost account to figure out why it’s not working.

    Actually, the host is GoDaddy.
    Half on gives this (feedburner is now running the feeds).
    The important stuff:
    * Your web server [72.167.168.61] is working fine.

    * Your blog application doesn’t support gzip compression.
    * Your blog supports client caching (304 response).
    * WP Super Cache is active.
    * Your feed supports caching (304 response).

    Full On:

    * Your web server [72.167.168.61] is working fine.

    I could give you FTP to a test blog.

    Try the development version from the download page. Delete the .htaccess rules so the plugin will regenerate them.

    Does that help?

    I have the same problem, half and full get the same: the files are created but not served.

    I tried to use the dev version as well as the production one, I also deleted the .htaccess rules (the plugin regenerated the rules), without luck.

    As dreamwhisper I’m hosting the site in GoDaddy.

    I’d love to help in order to solve this problem, so if you want me to check anything, please tell me!

    thanks in advance,

    Here the same problem,

    Generated, not served! 🙁

    Maybe this is the solution: Worked for me:

    1.
    </html>
    <?php while (ob_end_flush()) {} ?> (must be in your footer or header file)

    2.
    Turn on $use_flock = true;
    in your wp-cache-config

    Hope this will work for you also!

    askbak – sounds like another plugin is using the output buffer and not closing it properly!
    You can turn off coarse locking completely now(the default is off) so you won’t need to change the $use_flock setting.
