Are there any simple instructions for installing mod_pagespeed?

[PercyP]

Hi,

I have tried all sorts of tutorials to install mod_pagespeed but none have been successful. The last one I followed (which I found on here in this thread: #109 )

It seems to be the best guide I have found so far, however I can't get past step 4:

Enable mod_deflate (required for mod_pagespeed).
The location of your httpd source directory will vary depending on the version of Apache you have installed. The quickest way to find the correct location is tab completion.

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

I get an error message saying:
No such file or directory
gcc: no input files
apxs:Error: Command failed with rc=65536

I trued to find the directory path using httpd -V which produced this:

Server version: Apache/2.4.16 (Unix)

-D DEFAULT_ERRORLOG="logs/error_log"
-D AP_TYPES_CONFIG_FILE="conf/mime.types"
-D SERVER_CONFIG_FILE="conf/httpd.conf"

What am I doing wrong here? Are there any better, more up-to-date instructions anywhere?

Kind regards

You're using cpanel, right? If so, could you try https://github.com/pagespeed/cpanel
