getting error 500 when trying to use gzip with .htaccess

I'm trying to use gzip on my site.

I'm trying to compress, php, css and js files. The server is apache 1.3, and the code I have in the .htaccess file is:

# compress all text & html:
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/html text/plain text/xml

But when I upload this, I just get an Error 500 page.

Any ideas.

Try this

<Files *>
    #Compress
    SetOutputFilter GZIP
</Files>

Or this 

<ifmodule mod_deflate.c>
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/text text/html text/plain text/xml text/css application/x-javascript application/javascript text/javascript
</ifmodule>

AddOutputFilterByType doesn't appear to be available on Apache 1.3 (src). I believe you'll need to use mod_gzip instead.

"Compatibility: Available in Apache 2.0.33 and later; deprecated in Apache 2.1 and later"
