How do I turn on gzip in Apache2?
Solution 1:
sudo ln -s /etc/apache2/mods-available/deflate.load /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/
and restart apache
sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart

Debian/Ubuntu have the a2* set of scripts for managing modules and vhosts. You can use a2enmod:
$ sudo a2enmod deflate
Enabling module deflate.
Run '/etc/init.d/apache2 restart' to activate new configuration!
$ sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
