It's probably the case that you don't have mod_gzip installed since you're using Apache 2.2, they've moved to use mod_deflate instead.

The mod_deflate docs gives you a few sample configurations, but it looks like you'd want something like:

 <FilesMatch "\.(html?|txt|css|js|php|pl)$">
    SetOutputFilter DEFLATE
 </FilesMatch>
