Updating mod_pagespeed can be a pain in the @ss

Just a quick reminder to self, since simply updating mod_pagespeed doesn’t seem to be able by just running yum update. If you have installed mod_pagespeed building from the source, as I have, you will probably run into the following issue:

"httpd >= 2.2 is needed by mod-pagespeed"

Here is a quick and dirty solution that has worked for me.

1) Remove the old version with this command:

yum remove mod-pagespeed-stable.x86_64

2) Follow these steps to update mod_pagespeed to the latest version:

cd ~
yum install at
wget https://dl-ssl.google.com/dl/linux/direct/mod-pagespeed-stable_current_x86_64.rpm
rpm -i --nodeps mod-pagespeed-stable_current_x86_64.rpm
