google pagespeed – centos installation

Apache, Linux,

 

Let’s edit/create google-mod-pagespeed.repo

vi /etc/yum.repos.d/google-mod-pagespeed.repo

and add

[google–mod–pagespeed]
name=google–mod–pagespeed
baseurl=http://dl.google.com/linux/mod-pagespeed/rpm/stable/$basearch
enabled=1
gpgcheck=0
Let’s install it with yum!
yum install mod-pagespeed
Then we need to restart apache!
service httpd restart

 

This is how we test it…

curl -D- http://localhost/ | head -10

 

[[email protected] webroot]# curl -D- http://localhost/ | head -10

CentOS 7 – allowing port 80 & 443 httpd

Apache, CentOS, ,

Easy!

Run

firewall-cmd --zone=public --add-port=80/tcp --permanent
firewall-cmd --zone=public --add-port=443/tcp --permanent

and then…

firewall-cmd --reload

 

How to check the zones?

firewall-cmd --get-zones

 

If you can’t connect to the server/page…

or with curl…

hell:~ pjrfigueiredo$ curl https://www.domain.com
curl: (7) Failed to connect to www.domain.com port 443: Connection refused

Check if anything is listening to 443

sudo netstat -lnp | grep 443

If nothing show up… try to edit the domain httpd configuration file… and make it so, that httpd is listening to it… like for example

<VirtualHost *:80 *:443>

 

 

 

End of script output before headers – No such file or directory: exec of

Apache, Sh*ts, Ubuntu,

 

[Wed Jul 19 16:08:45.679229 2017] [cgi:error] [pid 2954] [client 94.63.xxx.xxx:12439] End of script output before headers:4KUYWRBjpMFod9i.cgi
[Wed Jul 19 16:09:05.030839 2017] [cgi:error] [pid 783] [client 94.63.xxx.xxx:37260] AH01215: (2)No such file or directory: exec of ‘/home/webroot/nasamos.com/www/cgi-bin/x9uWvwAREeUkQn5p/4KUYWRBjpMFod9i.cgi’ failed

Well!,
I saw a few blog posts and forum threads about this issue, but NONE was able to help me….

Yah!, syntax was okay….

perl -c 4KUYWRBjpMFod9i.cgi
4KUYWRBjpMFod9i.cgi syntax OK

I’v created a brand new file on /cgi-bin/ with some dummy filename and pumped a simple perl script on it…

#!/usr/bin/perl
# hello.pl -- my first perl script!
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
print "Hello, world!\n";

I was able to run it successfully, so…. the issue wasn’t on the CGI/PERL/APACHE/FIREWALL/SUEXEC.
I guess that the 4KUYWRBjpMFod9i.cgi had some issue… even using file -i  it looked to be okay… I’v decided to copy the content of 4KUYWRBjpMFod9i.cgi to the new dummy cgi file … and it worked….

I guess that the issue was on the encoding of the original cgi…

pagespeed – Slow ReadFile operation on file

Some disk stats….

sudo hdparm -Tt /dev/root

/dev/root:
 Timing cached reads: 26330 MB in 2.00 seconds = 13178.47 MB/sec
 Timing buffered disk reads: 540 MB in 3.00 seconds = 179.73 MB/sec

I’v added the following lines to my pagespeed configuration file (/etc/apache2/mods-enabled/pagespeed.conf)
