Installing Google PageSpeed Fails, EA4

[tylerjr92]

Hello!

I am having some trouble getting google page speed installed. I have no idea why but it seems some setting somewhere is standing in my way as I have never had an issue installing this and on my local clone of my server, it works fine.

So heres the error I get:

$ rpm -U mod-pagespeed-*.rpm
warning: mod-pagespeed-stable_current_x86_64.rpm: Header V4 DSA/SHA1 Signature, key ID 7fac5991: NOKEY
error: Failed dependencies:
httpd >= 2.2 is needed by mod-pagespeed-stable-1.11.33.2-0.x86_64

This command is taken directly from Installing From Packages

I have changed httpd to show Server Tokens to Full as I thought this was the issue.

Ran this command to verify:

$ curl -I localhost
HTTP/1.1 200 OK

Last-Modified: Wed, 02 Sep 2015 12:21:20 GMT

As you can see running 2.4.2 which is fully supported but for some odd reason it says I need version 2.2 or higher... Any input is welcome.

Hello,

The best and recommended option would be to install mod_pagespeed via EasyApache.

Try this : github.com/pagespeed/cpanel

Hello,

I was following the instructions on that page and they were failing as well. I did find an issue logged in this Git that provided these instructions that are successful.

For EA4, please follow the steps below to upgrade the same.

1) Create a file called '/etc/rpm/macros.apache2' and paste the below contents into that.

%_httpd_mmn 20120211x8664
%_httpd_apxs /usr/bin/apxs
%_httpd_dir /etc/apache2
%_httpd_bindir %{_httpd_dir}/bin
%_httpd_modconfdir %{_httpd_dir}/conf.modules.d
%_httpd_confdir %{_httpd_dir}/conf.d
%_httpd_contentdir /usr/share/apache2
%_httpd_moddir /usr/lib64/apache2/modules

then,

$>  rm -rf /root/rpmbuild/RPMS/x86_64/
$> wget https://github.com/pagespeed/cpanel/raw/master/EA4/ea-apache24-mod_pagespeed-latest-stable.src.rpm
$> rpmbuild --rebuild ea-apache24-mod_pagespeed-latest-stable.src.rpm
$> rpm -Uvh /root/rpmbuild/RPMS/x86_64/ea-apache24-mod_pagespeed*.rpm
$> /etc/init.d/httpd restart

Google Page Speed is now running, hope this helps someone else!

I noticed the URL for the mod_pagespeed doesn't exist anymore to download this. (
github.com/Prajithp/cpanel/raw/master/EA4/ea-apache24-mod_pagespeed-1.9-32.11.src.rpm) <---- 404.

Do you have another source for this to be downloaded?

I have used the RPM from this link - https://github.com/pagespeed/cpanel/tree/master/EA4/ea-apache24-mod_pagespeed-latest-stable.src.rpm

And executing the command:

rpmbuild --rebuild ea-apache24-mod_pagespeed-latest-stable.src.rpm

gives me this error

Hello,

This is reported and discussed on the GitHub for the custom module at:

Installation instructions incorrect / missing file · Issue #38 · pagespeed/cpanel · GitHub

Please review that page and let us know if the suggested workaround helps.

Thank you.

anyone can help. I am trying to install this mod as well but the solutions provided are out of date and does not work anymore. Is cpanel team going to add this mod into ea4?
