I have several recording and a few hundred channels mythweb works with. Page load time were too slow for my taste so I did some googling.

Loading mythweb listing page was taking about 45 seconds now its about 12.

Found the helpful info here: http://threebit.net/mail-archive/mythtv-users/msg11624.html


So on my myth system I edited (yours may be different)

sudo gedit /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/mythwebdir

The original content was

<Directory "/var/www/mythweb">
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
</Directory>


It was changed to

<Directory "/var/www/mythweb">
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
ExpiresActive On
ExpiresByType application/x-_javascript_ "modification plus 1 year"
</Directory>



Try to restart apache to see if everything is correct

sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 reload

If you receive an error about no "ExpiresActive" then there are a couple more commands to install the module.

cd /etc/apache2/mods-available
sudo a2enmod expires
sudo a2enmod deflate
sudo a2enmod headers


sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 reload

The error messages about ExpiresActive should now be gone and fast page loads of mythweb.

Awesome improvement.

neat fix!

Could you file a bug to make sure we add this for 8.10 by default?

Not sure it's a bug, but if you tell me where to list this I'll be glad to do it -- or you are welcome to too.

I do think most mythweb users would welcome this as default behavior.

it doesn't have to be a "bug" in the usual sense of being a "problem". Filing a bug puts an enhancement in a queue of things to be fixed or improved. Simple as that.
