How to Configure Apache PageSpeed Admin Pages

Advertisement

In our earlier guides, we have shown how to install Apache PageSpeed on Ubuntu/Debian server. Configuring the admin pages is not still easy because of lack of proper documentation. In case of a Debian/Ubuntu server, the default path of the cofigaration file for Apache PageSpeed is located at /etc/apache2/mods-available/. Login to your server as root user, cd to /etc/apache2/mods-available/ and open the pagespeed.conf file with a text editor such as nano or vi.

Your configuration file should look like this part of snippet for testing purpose :

<IfModule pagespeed_module>
  ModPagespeedInheritVHostConfig on
  ModPagespeedEnableFilters add_instrumentation
  ModPagespeedStatistics on
  ModPagespeedStatisticsLogging on
  ModPagespeedLogDir /var/log/pagespeed
  <Location /mod_pagespeed_console>
      <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
          RewriteEngine Off
      </IfModule>
      Order allow,deny
      Allow from localhost
      Allow from 127.0.0.1
      Allow from all
      SetHandler mod_pagespeed_console
  </Location>
  <Location /mod_pagespeed_beacon>
    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
        RewriteEngine Off
    </IfModule>
    SetHandler mod_pagespeed_beacon
  </Location>
  <Location /mod_pagespeed_statistics>
    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
        RewriteEngine Off
    </IfModule>
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from localhost
    Allow from all
    SetHandler mod_pagespeed_statistics
  </Location>
  <Location /pagespeed_admin>
    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
        RewriteEngine Off
    </IfModule>
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from localhost
    Allow from 127.0.0.1
    Allow from all
    SetHandler pagespeed_admin
  </Location>
  <Location /pagespeed_global_admin>
    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
        RewriteEngine Off
    </IfModule>
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from localhost
    Allow from 127.0.0.1
    Allow from all
    SetHandler pagespeed_global_admin
  </Location>
</IfModule>

When you’ll visit yourdomain.com/pagespeed_global_admin, you will be able to view the admin page. A common problem associated with PageSpeed is 404 or Forbidden error specially when the server is configured for WordPress or similar web software. By keeping the RewriteEngine Off, we are avoiding this problem. We have kept Allow from all to allow your dynamic IP for testing purpose. You can not keep such reporting webpage without password protection.

How to Configure Apache PageSpeed Admin Pages

We will add the following snippet to enable a password protection :

Vim
1
2
3
4
  AuthType Basic
  AuthName "Restricted Area"
  AuthUserFile ~/pagespeed/.htpasswd
  Require valid-user

First create the required directory :

Vim
1
2
mkdir -p ~/pagespeed
htpasswd -c ~/pagespeed/.htpasswd admin

Restart Apache :

Vim
1
2
apachectl -t
service apache2 restart

PageSpeed is buggy out of lack of documentation. Select a stable method (either by IP or by password) to stop public access to the admin page. You may face internal server error in certain configuration. Hence, save the configuration in some file and do the experiments.
