Silly question but when i first installed page blaster i was getting around a 600K page size, however it's gone back up to 1 meg. I was having issues with the replace function which is now working after a few reinstalls but i'm sure compression is not working as well as it should. Are you able to take a quick look at the page source for http://www.tooeasy.com.au/BrowseTasks.aspx and confirm it's compressing? E.g. There's a lot of JS which is not getting compressed. Is this just because it's not in the head section?

Thanks

Adam

You are right, that page is not being compressed. Maybe it is getting excluded for some reason. If you turn on trace debugging you can find out why it is excluded.

You are also correct about JS compression only happening by default in the head section after it is merged with other JS files. That is not happening either. You can get individual JS files to be compressed if you enable the PageBlaster static file handler.

Actually, it appears that PageBlaster is not enabled on any page. Is it still listed in the httpModules section of web.config?

Ok i’m baffled. I checked the web.config and no page blaster entry although i installed it at least 3 times over the last month. For fun i installed it again and checked the web.config. Everything looked fine:

</p><p>&#160;</p><p><httpModules><br/>
&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160; <addname="ScriptModule"type="System.Web.Handlers.ScriptModule, System.Web.Extensions, Version=1.0.61025.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35"/><br/>
&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160; <!--<add name="Compression" type="DotNetNuke.HttpModules.Compression.CompressionModule, DotNetNuke.HttpModules" />--><br/>
&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160; <addname="RequestFilter"type="DotNetNuke.HttpModules.RequestFilter.RequestFilterModule, DotNetNuke.HttpModules"/><br/>
&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160; <addname="PageBlaster"type="Snapsis.HttpModules.PageBlaster.PageBlasterModule, Snapsis.HttpModules.PageBlaster"/><br/>

&#160;&#160;&#160; </httpModules></p><p>

 

I then turned on debugging by wwwroot/DesktopModules/Snapsis/PageBlaster/Config/Default.config (the manual talks about Snapsis.PageBlaster.Config but this doesn’t exist does it?)
I checked the debug log and found a few entries

7/22/2008 10:41:22 AM : PB:PageBlasterModule.Init
Application Initialized : DomainId=4
7/22/2008 10:41:38 AM : PB:PageBlasterModule.Init
Application Initialized : DomainId=4
7/22/2008 10:42:19 AM : PB:PageBlasterModule.Dispose
Application shutting down : DomainId=4

I renamed the debug file so a new one would be generated however nothing came.
When i checked the DNN web.config the PageBlaster entry was gone!

So the first mystery is to figure out why/how the page blaster settings is being removed the web.config

Any ideas?

Thanks
Adam

I have no idea how the PageBlaster line is getting removed from your web.config, maybe something is syncing up you website from a different folder, but that is only a guess.

The Snapsis.PageBlaster.config file should be in the root of your website after install. It is copied from the default.config in the DesktopModules/Snapsis/PageBlaster/Config folder, but the default.config file is never used directly.

John, ok this is weird but the settings are back in the web.config. I've found and updated the Snapsis.PageBlaster.config in the root (not sure why i missed that before) and attached the log file, does that look normal to you?

After updating the trace info i noticed the page size dropped by 200k indicating it's decided to start working.

By the way did you receive my email i sent earlier?

Thanks

Adam

Yes, it looks like it is working correctly now.

No, I didn't get your e-mail, but I'll check my junk mail folder.
