title: XAMPP how to load mod_expires
body: <p>I have XAMPP, and I can see the file mod_expires.so under path</p>
  
  <p>...XAMPP\apache\modules\mod_expires.so</p>
  
  <p>However, I believe the module is not loading for two reasons:</p>
  
  <p>first: mod_expires is not listed when call phpinfo() </p>
  
  <p>second, is I add cache timelines to .htaccess file I get 500 server error</p>
  
  <p>(EXAMPLE OF cache code inside .htaccess</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;IfModule mod_expires.c&gt;
  # Activate mod_expires for this directory
  ExpiresActive on
  #HTML documents are good for a week from the time they were changed
  ExpiresDefault M604800 
  &lt;/IfModule&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>TWO QUESTIONS THEN:</p>
  
  <p>Is the presence of the mod_expires.so file indicative that the module is installed?</p>
  
  <p>If YES, how do I enable or activate?</p>
  
  <p>If NOT, how do I install and enable in XAMPP?</p>
  
  <p>Thank you,</p>
