Activating mod_expire not working as expected

I am trying to turn on my expire headers. I'm running a CENTOS 6.10 kvm with whm v70.0.62. In easy appache 4 i installed the mod_expire 2.4.37-1.1.2.cpanel. Then in my .htaccess I put this script: # Optimize cache-control ExpiresActive on ExpiresDefault "access plus 1 month" ExpiresByType image/gif "access plus 1 month" ExpiresByType image/png "access plus 1 month" ExpiresByType image/jpg "access plus 1 month" ExpiresByType image/jpeg "access plus 1 month" ExpiresByType text/html "access plus 3 days" ExpiresByType text/xml "access plus 1 seconds" ExpiresByType text/plain "access plus 1 seconds" ExpiresByType application/xml "access plus 1 seconds" ExpiresByType application/rss+xml "access plus 1 seconds" ExpiresByType application/json "access plus 1 seconds" ExpiresByType text/css "access plus 1 week" ExpiresByType text/javascript "access plus 1 week" ExpiresByType application/javascript "access plus 1 week" ExpiresByType application/x-javascript "access plus 1 week" ExpiresByType image/x-ico "access plus 1 year" ExpiresByType image/x-icon "access plus 1 year" ExpiresByType application/pdf "access plus 1 month" Header unset ETag Header unset Pragma Header unset Last-Modified Header append Cache-Control "public, no-transform, must-revalidate" Header set Last-modified "Wed, 23 Jan 2019 1:10:10 GMT" However when I do a site test on pingdom or gmetrix it's still saying I don't have expireheaders active and so both are downgrading me.

Did you tried restarting apache by stopping and then starting ? Also why you are still on 70 version ? latest is v76.0.18 . Can you please try upgrading the Cpanel to latest version as well.

Thanks for the help! Restarting apache did it. I can't believe I didn't try that first. As for version. I have my system on LTS updates. I guess I thought it was safer, think its better to move it to general availability releases?

I'm really happy to see you were able to get your issue resolved @rudtek!! Thanks for following up and letting everyone know how it was resolved.

You're fine to be on LTS - there are sometimes when you will get fixes first on the RELEASE tier but they are backported in most cases to LTS

Glad that you are able to get it fixed by apache restart. I will always suggest to keep almost all softwares to the latest possible versions as that is one way to keep hackers away.
