Install mod pagespeed for cPanel EA4

How to install mod_pagespeed on a cPanel server running EasyApache 4

Enter the following command to edit a new macro file:

nano /etc/rpm/macros.apache2

Within this file, copy and paste the following 8 lines to the file, and save.

%_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

Next, run the following commands to build the apache module and add to EasyApache 4.

yum install rpm-build cpio ea-apache24-mod_version
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 -ivh /root/rpmbuild/RPMS/x86_64/ea-apache24-mod_pagespeed*.rpm
/etc/init.d/httpd restart

Mod_pagespeed should now be installed, and you can verify this by running EasyApache 4 and checking the apache module section for it.
