I am trying to set up caching through .htaccess rules on my VPS server. I made sure mod_expires and mime type detection was installed but when I run my site through gtmetrix it shows I do not have caching enabled. Here are my .htaccess rules:
# Expire headers
<ifModule mod_expires.c>
ExpiresActive On
ExpiresDefault "access plus 1 seconds"
ExpiresByType image/x-icon "access plus 2592000 seconds"
ExpiresByType image/jpeg "access plus 2592000 seconds"
ExpiresByType image/png "access plus 2592000 seconds"
ExpiresByType image/gif "access plus 2592000 seconds"
ExpiresByType application/x-shockwave-flash "access plus 2592000 seconds"
ExpiresByType text/css "access plus 604800 seconds"
ExpiresByType text/javascript "access plus 216000 seconds"
ExpiresByType application/javascript "access plus 216000 seconds"
ExpiresByType application/x-javascript "access plus 216000 seconds"
ExpiresByType text/html "access plus 600 seconds"
ExpiresByType application/xhtml+xml "access plus 600 seconds"
</ifModule>

</filesMatch>
</ifModule>
# END Cache-Control Headers
# Turn ETags Off
<ifModule mod_headers.c>
Header unset ETag
</ifModule>
FileETag None
# Remove Last-Modified Header
<ifModule mod_headers.c>
Header unset Last-Modified
