digitalvomiting:
Ilija, are there any debug options to turn off inside of the beta version (except that one in config/config.php) ?


No, there are not.

Set it to 2 and you will have execution log saved in /logs folder. Set it to 1 to have a brief error message displayed to user and details sent to administrator. You can find more information about DEBUG option in Troubleshooting activeCollab article.

The best places to dive into the subject of apache configuration are probably their manual pages on .htaccess files and configuration sections:

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/howto/htaccess.html

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/sections.html

I'm not that experienced with modding apache. Specifically, where is the "Directory Block" in httpd.conf (what am I looking for)?

Thanks again,
Eric

Be sure to check that you have mod_expires installed and enabled, and to restart Apache to re-read the .conf files if you chose to modify them.

Thanks,
Eric

I can also report that thus far it didn't break anything, which is nice.

activeCollab joins all CSS and JS files and serves them compressed (gzip-ed), but you can still improve performance by properly configuring your server.

The following additions to the Apache2 config seem to do the trick:

  SetOutputFilter DEFLATE
  SetEnvIfNoCase Request_URI \.(?:gif|jpe?g|png)$  no-gzip dont-vary
  SetEnvIfNoCase Request_URI \.pdf$ no-gzip dont-vary
  SetEnvIfNoCase Request_URI attachments no-gzip dont-vary

  ExpiresActive On
  ExpiresByType image/gif A21600
  ExpiresByType image/jpeg A21600
  ExpiresByType text/css A21600
  ExpiresByType application/x-javascript A21600


Note that js.php serves its content as text/js, so it doesn't get caught by those expiry rules.
