The X-sendfile of Apache

Online search for an afternoon to find how to configure Apache X-sendfile.

First of all, it is said that only Apache 2.x supports this feature. Next Linux support for this feature requires kernel support. Generally now 2.6 of the inside



The cores are supported, as if they were to be supported by the 2.2 kernel at the earliest.

Test environment:

System: Windows XP

Apache version:

2.11

Secondary script:

PHP 5.2.6

Configuration steps:

1. Download module file

Download in http://www.apachelounge.com/download/



A compiled X-sendfile module in Windows Mod_xsendfile-0.9-w32.zip. Move the file mod_xsendfile.so to the Apache/modules directory after decompression.

2. Configure the Apache configuration file

Configure the following to the configuration file
