I have a site with Apache 2.2.22 . I have enabled the mod-expires and mod-headers modules seemingly correctly:$ apachectl -t -D DUMP_MODULESexpires_module (shared)headers_module (shared)Settings include:ExpiresActive OnExpiresDefault access plus 10 minutesExpiresByType application/xml access plus 1 minuteChecking the headers of requests, I see that max-age is set correctly both for the generic case and for xml files (which are auto-generated, but mostly static).I would like to have different expiries for xml files in a directory (e.g. /data), so http://site/data/sample.xml expires 24 hours later.I enter the following in data/.htaccess:ExpiresByType application/xml access plus 24 hoursHeader set Cache-control max-age=86400, publicbut it seems that apache ignores this.How can I ensure apache2 uses the .htaccess directives? I can provide further information if requested.
How to ensure apache2 reads htaccess for custom expiry?
htaccess;apache2;cache control
Since you have access to the core configuration file, it would be preferable to write it directly in there, under a directory section like so:<Directory /var/www/data>  ExpiresByType application/xml access plus 24 hours  Header set Cache-control max-age=86400, public</Directory>If you really want to use an .htaccess file, make sure you have:<Directory /var/www/data>    AllowOverride All</Directory>
