Not sure why you have this code:

LoadModule headers_module modules/mod_deflate.so

But that didn't work for me, it returned an APACHE error on Apache/2.4.3 (Win32):

12:57:10  [Apache]  Error: Apache shutdown unexpectedly.
12:57:10  [Apache]  This may be due to a blocked port, missing dependencies, 
12:57:10  [Apache]  improper privileges, a crash, or a shutdown by another method.

I Had to use:

LoadModule deflate_module modules/mod_deflate.so
