mod_deflate not works on Apache 2.4.37 - server

I've installed Apache 2.4.37 via ppa:ondrej/apache2 and can't make mod_deflate (gzip compression) works. I'm running on Ubuntu 18.04 server.
mod_deflate is enabled in Apache:
sudo apachectl -t -D DUMP_MODULES | grep deflate
deflate_module (shared)
I placed code into .htaccess:
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/css
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !on
RewriteCond %{HTTP:X-Forwarded-Proto} !=https
RewriteRule ^.*$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,QSA,NE]
.htaccess is enabled by Apache config (and redirection works).
When I try: curl -I -H 'Accept-Encoding: gzip,deflate' http://myserver/pokus.css
is returned:
HTTP/1.1 302 Found
Date: Thu, 24 Jan 2019 12:20:00 GMT
Server: Apache/2.4.37 (Ubuntu)
Location: https://myserver/pokus.css
Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1
So file is returned uncompressed.
I also tried to add deflate command directly into VirtualHost, different command like SetOutputFilter DEFLATE, but without success.
No error message in /var/log/apache2/error.log. Apache is restarted also without errors.
Any idea?

TYPO3 verson 11 backend Login is not working

I have installed TYPO3 version 11.2.0. Installation completed successfully. The front end is working, Install tool is working. But I can't Login to the Backend.
The Login page is there but when I click on the button, It will show the error:https://prnt.sc/1991vu7
This seems like something related to the sites configuration. But I have done that.

howto internally redirect HTTP status codes for certain file types

When looking at my web server's access & error logs I notice quite a few instances where attackers seem to be fishing for the existence of certain *.php files and I don't actually want to help them with a 404 status message! Rather I'd like to return some happy 200 status and some dummy content for whatever non existing *.php file some idiot hacker tries to call on my site.
Also I don't care to have my error log spammed with respective non-existing php access attempts, e.g.:
[Thu Apr 16 11:42:42.700317 2020] [proxy_fcgi:error] [pid 3318670] [client x.x.x.x:54236] AH01071: Got error 'Primary script unknown\n', i.e. I'd like to redirect before the server feels inclined to report that issue.
What I am looking for is some web server internal redirect for all non-existing *.php files that will respond as if there actually was a respective (dummy) file. My web server access is limited to Plesk and .htaccess so ideally I am looking for something that I can configure via .htaccess
Any suggestions?
seems that adding the below in .htaccess pretty much does what I am looking for by redirecting any non-existing *.php files to _404.php:
# use dummy file for all non-existing .php files
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} \.(php)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /_404.php [QSA,L]
</IfModule>

There are incompatibilities with mod_deflate and mod_filter between Apache versions 2.2 and 2.4
You need three modules for mod_deflate to work in apache 2.4
LoadModule deflate_module modules/mod_deflate.so
LoadModule headers_module modules/mod_headers.so
LoadModule filter_module modules/mod_filter.so
So either remove that block, or load mod_filter

apache2: how to find out why I get a 403 error?

That is from the apache error_log:
[Mon Oct 17 17:55:42 2011] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] (13)Permission denied: access to /index.html denied
In /etc/apache2/vhosts.d I've created this file:
<VirtualHost 127.0.0.1:3000>
DocumentRoot "/home/mm/lib/vokabeltrainer"
ServerName localhost:3000
<Directory "/home/mm/lib/vokabeltrainer">
Options FollowSymLinks ExecCGI
AddHandler cgi-script .pl

RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/%{REQUEST_URI} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.*) vokabeltrainer.pl [L]
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
The /etc/apache2/listen.conf looks like this:
Listen 127.0.0.1:3000
NameVirtualHost 127.0.0.1:3000
For testing, I've modified the folder like chmod -R 0777 /home/mm/lib/vokabeltrainer
When I run the vokabeltrainer.pl (Mojolicious::Lite script) with morbo development server it works.
Has somebody a clue where I should look?
As Ikegami pointed out, my first problem was that I didn't consider the /home/mm/lib part of the path: the lib-directory didn't have enough rights so I had to ad the needed rights.
Then I changed the path in the shebang form /usr/local/bin/perl to /usr/bin/perl and installed Mojolicious::Lite for the /usr/bin/perl.
The last thing I had to do, was writing the url like this http://localhost:3000/vokabeltrainer.pl/random instead of http://localhost:3000/random.
(In the Pretty "Web 2.0" URLs at mojo/wiki/Apache-deployment is shown a way to keep the short url)

404 error for mod_rewrite using SSL and MAMP

I am building an app in Zend Framework at the moment and testing it all locally. I have Mamp Pro as my web server and I have a self-signed SSL which all seems to work. My problem comes when I try to do mod_rewrite - I just get 404 pages.
The way I have things set up (which may not be the best way...)
In Mamp I have 2 virtualhosts set up both pointing to the same web directory (webroot/public/):
secure.myapp.com
myapp.com
In my public directory is my index.php file and my .htaccess file. The contents of the .htaccess file are:
SetEnv APPLICATION_ENV development
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -s [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -l [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^.*$ - [NC,L]
RewriteRule ^.*$ index.php [NC,L]
When I visit http://myapp.com everything routes as it should using the mod_rewrite. But when I go to https://secure.myapp.com the index page is fine, but URL routing stops working and it appears to be that the .htaccess file is being ignored.
In my ssl.conf I have the following:
<IfModule mod_ssl.c>
Listen 443
AddType application/x-x509-ca-cert .crt
AddType application/x-pkcs7-crl .crl

Does anybody have any ideas on this? I'll be sooooo appreciative of the help as it's seriously hindering my development!
Well I'm pretty sure that I have got this working. Basically, a big problem I had is that Mamp does not store vhosts.conf as an accessible file. Instead this is an aliased application file.
I think what happens is that the virtualhosts are all dynamically created all on the standard http port, in my case 80. However I needed to be able to access the port 433 vhost config to enable FileInfo. So my workaround is to ditch my .htaccess file and stick the following ALL into my ssl.conf file.
<IfModule mod_ssl.c>
Listen 443
AddType application/x-x509-ca-cert .crt
AddType application/x-pkcs7-crl .crl
SSLPassPhraseDialog builtin

I had to add DOCUMENT_ROOT in front of my file and directory checks, and a forward slash in front of index.php. If I could have put this into a "Directory" then I think I could have avoided these changes, but Apache won't restart when I add this parameter.
The only thing I didn't try was adding the info to MAMP's httpd.conf, but I have a feeling the same restrictions may be in place.
