How to install mod_headers

apache-2.2

how can I activate / install mod_headers on my server?

Best Answer

I'm taking a leap of faith assuming you are talking about a Debian/Ubuntu server here, as Redhat/Fedora/Centos have it installed and enabled as part of the default httpd installation.

On Debian/Ubuntu, you can enable mod_headers (it should be already installed as part of the apache2 installation), by running:

a2enmod headers
apache2 -k graceful

Mod_headers is simply not working

Any chance you're doing this for the same reason the rest of us are doing this now, custom font files? If so, here's what I wound up doing, might help:

<FilesMatch "\.(ttf|otf|eot)$">
  <IfModule mod_headers.c>
    Header set Access-Control-Allow-Origin "*"
  </IfModule>
</FilesMatch>

Httpd – Set header for certain file types using Apache2 mod_headers

You can use the <Files> tag to do this (docs), i.e.:

<Files "*.ttf">
  Header set Access-Control-Allow-Origin "*"
</Files>

This will restrict the Header to only files ending in .ttf. Hope this helps!
