Installing mod_pagespeed From Packages

Supported platforms

• CentOS/Fedora (32-bit and 64-bit)

  To install the packages, on Debian/Ubuntu, please run (as root) the following command:

  dpkg -i mod-pagespeed-*.deb
  apt-get -f install

  For CentOS/Fedora, please execute (also as root):

  yum install at  # if you do not already have 'at' installed
  rpm -U mod-pagespeed-*.rpm

  Installing mod_pagespeed will add the Google repository so your system will automatically keep mod_pagespeed up to date. If you don't want Google's repository, do sudo touch /etc/default/mod-pagespeed before installing the package.
  You can also download a number of system tests. These are the same tests available onModPageSpeed.com.

  How to : Install mod_pagespeed in cpanel

  Login to the server via SSH
  Go to below folder

  cd /usr/local/src

  create directory

  mkdir mod_pagespeed

  Download pagespeed rpm

  wget https://dl-ssl.google.com/dl/linux/direct/mod-pagespeed-beta_current_i386.rpm

  Extract the rpm

  rpm2cpio mod-pagespeed-beta_current_i386.rpm | cpio -idmv

  Copy the modules to apache modules folder

  cp /usr/local/src/mod-pagespeed/usr/lib/httpd/modules/mod_pagespeed.so /usr/local/apache/modules/

  cp /usr/local/src/mod-pagespeed/etc/httpd/conf.d/pagespeed.conf /usr/local/apache/conf/

  Provide execute permission

  chmod 755 /usr/local/apache/modules/mod_pagespeed.so

  Create below folders

  mkdir /var/mod_pagespeed/{cache,files} -p

  Provide correct ownership

  chown nobody:nobody /var/mod_pagespeed/*

  mod_pagespeed has a dependency that you’ll want to enable: mod_deflate (the httpd source directory (2.2.16) may vary depending on your install):

  /usr/local/apache/bin/apxs -c -i /home/cpeasyapache/src/httpd-2.2.16/modules/filters/mod_deflate.c

  We have to edit mod_pagespeed configuration file located at /usr/local/apache/conf/pagespeed.conf to reflect the correct paths, the LoadModule directives should fetch the modules in “modules/module_name.so”

  LoadModule pagespeed_module modules/mod_pagespeed.so
  LoadModule deflate_module modules/mod_deflate.so
  ModPagespeedFileCachePath "/var/mod_pagespeed/cache/"
  ModPagespeedGeneratedFilePrefix "/var/mod_pagespeed/files/"

  After that, we’ll need to include the mod_pagespeed configuration in Apache’s configuration file (/usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf):

  Include conf/pagespeed.conf

  In order to keep the changes permanant run the command below.

  /usr/local/cpanel/bin/apache_conf_distiller –update

  Now restart apache service.
