Install mod_pagespeed in cPanel using EasyApache

prajithp13 · Oct 31, 2012

I have created mod_pagespeed custom module for CPanel WHM using CPanel Easy Framework. which will be then install using /scripts/easyapache on command line or easyapache from WHM on your choice whether to install it or not. You can install it by using following steps

wget http://prajith.in/scripts/mod_pagespeed-cust-opts.tar.gz

tar -C /var/cpanel/easy/apache/custom_opt_mods -xzf mod_pagespeed-cust-opts.tar.gz

Thats it, now you can run

/scripts/easyapache

or

Login into WHM and go to EasyApache Update

It will show you the Mod_Pagespeed included in it and you can install it by checking the box.

Re: Install Mod_Pagespeed in WHM/cPanel using easyapache.

Hello,
I finished installing the module, but haven´t noticed any substancial speed improvement.

How can I know if it is really working?

BTW,
Do you know if there is any conflict with Apache Booster (ngnix / varnish)
I have found this thread that states that there is a problem with varnish and pagespeed

Which is the default filters configuration ? https://developers.google.com/speed/docs/mod_pagespeed/filters

Also, is there a GUI available on WHM after install ?

Thanks.

mod_pagespeed works fine with Varnish, and any other caching server or CDN in front - in fact, it will help these services! The thing to keep in mind is that mod_pagespeed intentionally turns off caching headers for your HTML files because these files are rewritten on the fly - all of the associated resources are cache extended. For a good explanation why, take a look here: Issue 232 - modpagespeed - Allow caching HTML files - Apache module for rewriting web pages to reduce latency and bandwidth - Google Project Hosting

If you're ok with potentially serving slightly stale HTML out of your static cache (ex, you have a purge step, which is common..), then you can disable this behavior in your mod_pagespeed config: https://developers.google.com/speed/docs/mod_pagespeed/install#ModifyCachingHeaders

>> Which is the default filters configuration?

Take a look here: https://developers.google.com/speed/docs/mod_pagespeed/config_filters

... Finally. Prajith, awesome work! Would love to get your code up on our github repo @ /http://github.com/pagespeed. Would you be interested in contributing your code there? Ping me

igrigorik,

There's an official Feature Request over here: As a Server Administrator, I want Mod_pagespeed integrated to EasyApache, so that ??? | cPanel Feature Requests

You might be able to get a better response out of cPanel and the community if you can help improve the request - the original submission is a bit lacking. Once it's refined, more people will likely vote for it.

And how to correctly uninstall it ?

I've followed EasyApache way (disable the checkbix, recompile) but a lot of pagespeed folders remain on the server and at Apache start i'm havin warns about 127.0.0.1 that don't have virtualhosts...

Thanks.

Its is not related with the pagespeed module.

Re: Install Mod_Pagespeed in WHM/cPanel using easyapache.

Great work prajithp13! Haven't test this myself but hopefully it brings enough attention from cPanel and can be officially enabled.

Specially now that they have updated this recently to 1.2.

Re: Install Mod_Pagespeed in WHM/cPanel using easyapache.

Hi,

I've installed the module but according to google by executing a command like: curl -D- /http://www.mydomain.com | less
I need to see something like X-Mod-Pagespeed: 0.10.22.4-1633 which is not happening.

Any ideas?

Re: Install Mod_Pagespeed in WHM/cPanel using easyapache.

It seems the best approach on this is using /https://github.com/pagespeed/cpanel, but we haven't tested this out yet.

Re: Install Mod_Pagespeed in WHM/cPanel using easyapache.

Can someone tell me what paths are being used by this once it's installed using EasyApache?

I've got several copies of pagespeed.conf and mod_pagespeed/cache/ directory and I need to know which are being used so they can be cleared and or edited as needed.

Thanks.

Re: Install Mod_Pagespeed in WHM/cPanel using easyapache.

Module gets installed in : /usr/local/apache/modules/mod_pagespeed.so
Page Cache: /var/mod_pagespeed/cache
pagespeed.conf : /usr/local/apache/conf/pagespeed.conf

Re: Install Mod_Pagespeed in WHM/cPanel using easyapache.

So prajithp13, is mod_pagespeed compatibile with apachebooster ? If not, which perform better cpanel + apachebooster OR cpanel + nginx + mod_pagespeed ?

Can be mod_pagespeed configured for nginx in this configuration ?

Regards.

Re: Install Mod_Pagespeed in WHM/cPanel using easyapache.

I would like to know that too.

Do you guys plan keeping it updated or it will auto update?

Thanks

Re: Install Mod_Pagespeed in WHM/cPanel using easyapache.

DO NOT use with mod_ruid2.

Cache files owner permissions will be bad.

Unless you insist having it and are ready to configure memcached:

Re: Install Mod_Pagespeed in WHM/cPanel using easyapache.

Just following up on the upgrade question. Yes mod_pagespeed will upgrade with this setup to the latest stable release when the EasyApache update is done.
