Hello i miss some information how to :)

I installed page speed by using this tutorial
https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/module/build_ngx_pagespeed_from_source

Later by using Directadmin tutorial added custom module
http://help.directadmin.com/item.php?id=545

--add-module=/root/ngx_pagespeed-release-1.9.32.3-beta

[root@server ~]# nginx -V
nginx version: nginx/1.6.2
built by gcc 4.4.7 20120313 (Red Hat 4.4.7-11) (GCC)
TLS SNI support enabled
configure arguments: --add-module=/root/ngx_pagespeed-release-1.9.32.3-beta --prefix=/usr/local/nginx --sbin-path=/usr/local/sbin/nginx --conf-path=/etc/nginx/nginx.conf --error-log-path=/var/log/nginx/error.log --http-log-path=/var/log/nginx/access.log --pid-path=/run/nginx.pid --with-ipv6 --lock-path=/run/lock/subsys/nginx --with-http_ssl_module --with-http_stub_status_module --with-http_gzip_static_module --with-http_realip_module --without-mail_pop3_module --without-mail_imap_module --without-mail_smtp_module --user=nginx --group=nginx --with-cc-opt=''-D FD_SETSIZE=32768''

"Download and build nginx with support for pagespeed:"
i downloaded it to
/root/nginx-1.6.3

how can i make directadmin to use this build?
 
Come on guys.
At least small explanation that i could understand how is everything working.
Guide me in words or show me an article that related with this would be nice.
 
#/usr/local/nginx/sbin/nginx -V

Returns
nginx version: nginx/1.6.3
built by gcc 4.4.7 20120313 (Red Hat 4.4.7-11) (GCC)
configure arguments: --add-module=/root/ngx_pagespeed-release-1.9.32.3-beta

#nginx -v
nginx version: nginx/1.6.2

So i am have 2 versions of nginx.
How can i make to use
/usr/local/nginx/sbin/nginx
 
/usr/local/nginx/sbin/nginx should not be used on DirectAdmin servers. "Download and build nginx with support for pagespeed:" is not a sentence from DA knowledgebase. You should always use CustomBuild (./build nginx) for that.
 
buy it or leave it... no place here for those who wants to learn gl...
 
Thank YOU zEitEr!!!!!

Your message just inspired me to try it again :)
Just deleted everything... And started from 0.

And I made it finally. After I send my page to gtmetrix there was no message avoid css imports....
I dont know what i did wrong before... But after a clean install it is working now...

You are my hero zEitEr thanks:)

1st download and extract ngx_pagespeed

# cd
# NPS_VERSION=1.9.32.3
# wget https://github.com/pagespeed/ngx_pagespeed/archive/release-${NPS_VERSION}-beta.zip
# unzip release-${NPS_VERSION}-beta.zip
# cd ngx_pagespeed-release-${NPS_VERSION}-beta/
# wget https://dl.google.com/dl/page-speed/psol/${NPS_VERSION}.tar.gz
# tar -xzvf ${NPS_VERSION}.tar.gz

2nd make a copy of configure.nginx into /usr/local/directadmin/custombuild/custom/nginx

# cd /usr/local/directadmin/custombuild
# mkdir -p custom/nginx
# cp -fp configure/nginx/configure.nginx custom/nginx/configure.nginx

3rd adding ngx_pagespeed module to /usr/local/directadmin/custombuild/custom/nginx/configure.nginx

# nano /usr/local/directadmin/custombuild/custom/nginx/configure.nginx

#!/bin/sh
./configure \
"--add-module=/root/ngx_pagespeed-release-1.9.32.3-beta" \
"--user=nginx" \

It is working... finally...
 
YES! its working for nginx_apache, You have to install for nginx as the official page says.

Great, i have 2 seconds page load now, before was aprox 10 seconds
 
Hi, I using Nginx_apache and have install mod_pagespeed as the official page says and copy to ./custom/nginx conf file for nginx. Insert into it --add-module=/root/ngx_pagespeed-release next in cmd
./build used_configs
./build nginx

but Nginx build still without modpagespeed and without error's
root@serwer:/usr/local/directadmin/custombuild# nginx -V

Hi, I using Nginx_apache and have install mod_pagespeed as the official page says and copy to ./custom/nginx conf file for nginx. Insert into it --add-module=/root/ngx_pagespeed-release next in cmd
./build used_configs
./build nginx

but Nginx build still without modpagespeed and without error's

it is custom/nginx_reverse for nginx as a reverse proxy of apache :)
 
now I'm trying to fix error
build_from_source=false
checking for psol ... not found
./configure: error: module ngx_pagespeed requires the pagespeed optimization library.
Look in /usr/local/directadmin/custombuild/nginx-1.17.1/objs/autoconf.err for more details.

*** There was an error while trying to configure Nginx. Check the custom/nginx_reverse/configure.nginx file
PSOL is downloaded to folder with mod
 
alright, now is ok. Build nginx with mod_pagespeed run without erros.
nginx -V show mod, but how Can i chceck if is runing?
curl -Is https://urll/ | grep X-Mod-Pagespeed

Also trying to add into custom httpd
pagespeed on;
pagespeed FileCachePath /var/ngx_pagespeed_cache;
pagespeed EnableFilters flatten_css_imports;

have error
AH00526: Syntax error on line 45 of /usr/local/directadmin/data/users/jestpraca/httpd.conf:
Invalid command 'pagespeed', perhaps misspelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration
