title: htaccess for Leverage browser caching not working
body: <p>I am having issues with Leverage browser caching.
  I have created this .htaccess file and am using it on my server but it doesnt appear to be working, i copied this from here "<a href="http://www.samaxes.com/2011/05/improving-web-performance-with-apache-and-htaccess/" rel="noreferrer">http://www.samaxes.com/2011/05/improving-web-performance-with-apache-and-htaccess/</a>".
  I am most likly making a basic mistake so any help would be nice.
  here are some details. I am working on a subdomain lets call it "sub" and the main domain "example".
  so i want everything in <a href="http://sub.example.com/" rel="noreferrer">http://sub.example.com/</a> for the htaccess file to work on.
  on my server i placed the .htaccess file in sub's main directory which is seperate to the main one for example.</p>
  
  <p>I am running an apache2 server with both mod_headers and mod_expires enabled also.</p>
  
  <p>Cheers.</p>
