Google page speed mod installed but not working

[Plato P]

My website is technewscentral.co.uk and I have isntalled page speed mod. Yet the urls and stuffs are not getting rewritten. Can someone please check it?

[Jan-Willem Maessen]

Hi -

Poking around a bit, it's not obvious what's going wrong.  I suspect that mod_pagespeed may be having difficulty fetching the resources on you page due to details of you server configuration.  I'd suggest looking at your logs to see if you're getting a lot of "fetch failed" messages when you visit your pages.  If so I'd suggest looking into the domain mapping constructs, and maybe using LoadFromFile for static resources.  More details here:

https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/module/domains

If that doesn't help, it'd be useful to see your configuration (pagespeed.conf).

-Jan

PS - I notice you're using a fairly old release, 1.3, which was originally made last February.  It'd be worth considering an upgrade (or if you're on shared hosting, asking your hosting provider to upgrade).  I suspect, however, that this won't fix your most immediate problem of getting anything at all rewritten. :-)

Let me know if there is something wrong with this.

Also is there anything special to be added to the .htaccess file?

Can somebody please help me?

Hi -

As I noted in my previous message, it looks like mod_pagespeed may be having trouble fetching or caching your data.  I can't tell by accessing your server remotely which the problem might be, you'll need to look in the logs.  If you look at the error log (which is often in either /var/log/apache2/error.log or /usr/local/apache2/logs/error_log) you should be able to search for "mod_pagespeed" and see what errors might be occurring when you access a page on your site.

You should also check the permissions on /var/mod_pagespeed/cache and /var/mod_pagespeed/files to make sure mod_pagespeed is allowed to write files into these two directories (meaning whatever user apache is running as can create files there).  Just looking around these directories should make it obvious whether mod_pagespeed has been creating files there already.

OK, good it's not cache permissions.  How about the logs?

Ah, as I suspected, your machine is probably behind a firewall that prevents it from loopback fetching from www.technewscentral.co.uk.  This means you'll have to set up domain mapping as described in:

https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/module/domains

Most likely you'll want a line like:

ModPagespeedMapOriginDomain localhost www.technewcentral.co.uk

If you know where WordPress is storing some of its static files, you might consider also setting up ModPagespeedLoadFromFile as described later on the same page, as this will lead to faster and more reliable performance for the files you map.  But I'd definitely suggest getting MapOriginDomain working first before you try this.

I have been told that all the above things you mentioned is done. 

But it seems like pagespeed is still not rewriting. Could there be any other reason?

[Jan-Willem Maessen]

Sorry, was out of town again.

Can you look at your logs again – are you still seeing the messages you reported earlier?  What's in your pagespeed configuration?

Hello,

It is resolved now. As you said I was going through the error logs and found the following errors like you see on http://prntscr.com/2ib9nq in  /usr/local/apache/logs/error_log

After a bit of research I found it is linked to pagespeed and the document root in pagespeed was wrong from the following pages:

http://lindroidsoup.com/circuitous-cpanel/error-client-224-0-0-0-file-does-not-exist-usrlocalapachehtdocs/
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/mod-pagespeed-discuss/qwnnpzlW8VY
https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/module/faq#loopback_fetches

I told the support people about this and they managed to change it to the correct path. Everything is working properly now. 

Thanks a lot for helping!
