[cobalt-users] mod_gzip problems - what have I missed?

[Greg Hewitt-Long <cobaltusers@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've recently added mod_gzip.so to a number of servers, however, I'm found 
that any .htaccess protected folders simply come up with an Internet 
Explorer "Page can not be displayed" error.

I compiled the mod_gzip on the RAQ, and used the following included into 
httpd.conf, I've also tried it in srm.conf, same error:

any idea what I need to change to fix the .htaccess protected folders from 
failing?

thanks
