      <para>The <filename>bins</filename> program will create
      automatically an <filename>.htaccess</filename> in the root
      directory of your album if the <literal>createHtaccess</literal>
      parameter is set to 1. This <filename>.htaccess</filename> is to
      be used by the <ulink url="http://httpd.apache.org/">Apache HTTP
      server</ulink> to set the correct encoding of the HTTP header
      according the html pages of the album.</para> <para>To allow
      Apache to use the <filename>.htaccess</filename> file, the
      following directive must be present in the

      <para>If you want that the .html extension file to be
      interpreted by PHP, you have to edit the
      <filename>.htacces</filename> file described in Encoding section
      and add the following lines&nbsp;:

      <programlisting>
	AddHandler server-parsed .html

      <title id="usage_httpd.compression">Compression</title>
      <para>
	To reduce size of HTML and Javascript files you can enable
	compression on the web server. This is specially useful for
	the search engine because the
	<filename>search_data.js</filename> file, containing all the
	search data, can be very big on important album, but it
	compress very well.
      </para>
      <para>
	To enable compression on Apache 2, you have to enable
	<literal>mod_deflate</literal>. Then, in your virtual host configuration, add the following directives:
