Some help with browser caching

[beebee]

Trying to optimize my vb board, added this code to htaccess in attempt to cache a specific folder and type for 1 month. When I try though, I get internal server error.

<Directory "/public_html/forum/images/forumicons">
    <FilesMatch "\.(gif|jpg|png)$">
	<IfModule mod_expires.c>
	ExpiresActive On
        ExpiresDefault "access plus 1 month"
	</IfModule>
    </FilesMatch>
</Directory>

What did I do wrong?

Thanks

I think its to do with the <Directory> bit im not 100% you can specify it like that.

If you have root access, why not install memcache.
