setting cache info with htaccess

[Dmacleo]

I've honestly never dealt with setitng max expires and that stuff with htaccess and wondering how you guys handle it,

due to some issues with directadmin and nginx (yeah I am still using a panel....) I had to slide back to apache. in my case I think setting the max expires/cahce stuff would be easier through htaccess vs global apache templates.

i used this:

<IfModule mod_expires.c>
    ExpiresActive On
## VAR ## ExpiresDefault A300
    ExpiresByType image/x-icon A360000
    ExpiresByType image/gif A360000
    ExpiresByType image/png A360000
    ExpiresByType image/jpeg A360000
    ExpiresByType text/css A360000
    ExpiresByType application/x-javascript A360000
    ExpiresByType application/javascript A360000
</IfModule>
