mod_pagespeed option not in WHM

[teacii]

HI,

I did: git clone http://github.com/pagespeed/cpanel.git /var/cpanel/easy/apache/custom_opt_mods/mod_pagespeed

The files were correctly copy and I can see them. Now if I have no misunderstood, in WHM -> EasyApache (Apache Update)-> Exhaustive list The option of mod_pagespeed should be present for me to select.

It is not there :( I am running CENTOS 6.4 x86_64 Apache 2.2.24 Easy::Apache v3.18.13 with cPanel 11.36.1

Any tips?

[igrigorik]

Hmm, well that's not good!

I'm guessing, the current structure is: /var/cpanel/easy/apache/custom_opt_mods/mod_pagespeed/Easy/...

We may be missing an extra namespace there, can you move the files such that its: /var/cpanel/easy/apache/custom_opt_mods/mod_pagespeed/Cpanel/Easy/...

Note the Cpanel directory.. and see if EasyApache shows it then?

[teacii]

Tried what you suggested and a bit more. The option just does not come up :-(

[igrigorik]

Doh! Hmm, looks like I'll have to spin up a VM and run through the tests again.. Stay tuned.

Same issue here.

[k0nsl]

Nevermind. It does show up if I copy the structure to:

/var/cpanel/easy/apache/custom_opt_mods/Cpanel/Easy : Speed.pm --: pagespeed

Compiling now.

[teacii]

Confirmed. That works for me too. Thanks.

[k0nsl]

Although, upon completion in EasyApache, I get:

-- Begin opt 'mod_pagespeed (Author: Prajith) (Custom Opt Mod)' -- Could not chdir into 'pagespeed/': No such file or directory -- End opt 'mod_pagespeed (Author: Prajith) (Custom Opt Mod)' --

[teacii]

I got error at the start of the build already:

Checking that all tarballs are present and up to date. !! Custom opt mod 'Cpanel::Easy::Speed' is using custom opt mod tarball '/var/cpanel/easy/apache/custom_opt_mods/Cpanel/Easy/Speed.pm.tar.gz' !! Custom opt mod tarball '/var/cpanel/easy/apache/custom_opt_mods/Cpanel/Easy/Speed.pm.tar.gz' does not exist !! Custom opt mod tarball '/var/cpanel/easy/apache/custom_opt_mods/Cpanel/Easy/Speed.pm.tar.gz' does not exist !!

[k0nsl]

Yes you must create the tarball and name it Speed.pm.tar.gz, inside it should probably be the directory 'pagespeed'. I only did this stuff in a hurry (and it didn't quite work because my tarball probably didn't have the right structure). Will look into this more later, must have some food now ;)

[teacii]

So for those who face similar problems, here are the steps that worked for me:

Step 1: Copy git clone http://github.com/pagespeed/cpanel.git /var/cpanel/easy/apache/custom_opt_mods/Cpanel/

Step 2: Create a Speed.pm.tar.gz cd /var/cpanel/easy/apache/custom_opt_mods/Cpanel/Easy tar -zcvf Speed.pm.tar.gz pagespeed

Step 3: In cPanel WHM-> EasyApache - You will see the mod_pagepeed in the options to compile. Check and compile.

Optional: The compile should work without a hitch. You may get a messages saying: Option ModPagespeedGeneratedFilePrefix is depricated and should be removed. if this bothers you, then go to: /usr/local/apache/conf/pagespeed.conf Towards the top there is a line: ModPagespeedGeneratedFilePrefix "/var/mod_pagespeed/files/" Change it to (essentially commenting it):

ModPagespeedGeneratedFilePrefix "/var/mod_pagespeed/files/"

Save and reboot httpd.

Cheers and thanks to everyone here who helped towards the solution.

[k0nsl]

Yep, that solution works. But in mod_pagespeed statistics are anybody actually getting any cache hits? Mine is always at zero.

[joerocklin]

Same here - the steps work, and I'm never seeing any cache hits.

[teacii]

Dumb question... where would you see the cache hits? I see that pagespeed is working in the files that get compressed or re-written. An tips?

[k0nsl]

teacli, You can watch statistics via:

http://whatever-url/mod_pagespeed_global_statistics

Just don't forget to allow connections for your host in pagespeed.conf

Thanks guys, updated the install instructions in the readme: https://github.com/pagespeed/cpanel/blob/master/README.md - let me know if I missed anything.

Re, global statistics.. From our docs: "Global Statistics: if UsePerVHostStatistics is on this will permit you to access statistics aggregated over all the virtual hosts on the server." See here: https://developers.google.com/speed/docs/mod_pagespeed/configuration

When I do tar -zcvf Speed.pm.tar.gz pagespeed is says:

tar: pagespeed: Cannot stat: No such file or directory tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors

[igrigorik]

Have you verified that the repo was cloned correctly and the archive is in place?

[Sameh123]

I don't have much experience in this but when I do "dir" in "/var/cpanel/easy/apache/custom_opt_mods/Cpanel/Easy" I see it there:

ModFastInclude.pm ModFastInclude.pm.tar.gz Speed.pm.tar.gz

[igrigorik]

make sure you run the command from within that directory.
