nginx + ngx_pagespeed

Question

Nginx

Hello.

The server has nginx 1.4.1 installed

:~$ nginx -V
nginx version: nginx/1.4.1
TLS SNI support enabled
configure arguments: --prefix=/usr/share/nginx --conf-path=/etc/nginx/nginx.conf --error-log-path=/var/log/nginx/error.log --http-client-body-temp-path=/var/lib/nginx/body --http-fastcgi-temp-path=/var/lib/nginx/fastcgi --http-log-path=/var/log/nginx/access.log --http-proxy-temp-path=/var/lib/nginx/proxy --http-scgi-temp-path=/var/lib/nginx/scgi --http-uwsgi-temp-path=/var/lib/nginx/uwsgi --lock-path=/var/lock/nginx.lock --pid-path=/run/nginx.pid --with-pcre-jit --with-debug --with-http_addition_module --with-http_dav_module --with-http_geoip_module --with-http_gzip_static_module --with-http_image_filter_module --with-http_realip_module --with-http_stub_status_module --with-http_ssl_module --with-http_sub_module --with-http_xslt_module --with-ipv6 --with-mail --with-mail_ssl_module --add-module=/build/buildd/nginx-1.4.1/debian/modules/nginx-auth-pam --add-module=/build/buildd/nginx-1.4.1/debian/modules/nginx-dav-ext-module --add-module=/build/buildd/nginx-1.4.1/debian/modules/nginx-echo --add-module=/build/buildd/nginx-1.4.1/debian/modules/nginx-upstream-fair --add-module=/build/buildd/nginx-1.4.1/debian/modules/ngx_http_substitutions_filter_module

I want to add the ngx_pagespeed module to nginx.
I do as it is written in github.com/pagespeed/ngx_pagespeed#how-to-build .
Nginx is installed in its standard directory and everything seems to be ok, but one thing confuses me:

:~$ /usr/local/nginx/sbin/nginx -V
nginx version: nginx/1.4.2
built by gcc 4.7.3 (Ubuntu/Linaro 4.7.3-1ubuntu1)
configure arguments: --add-module=/home/kirillmaramygin/ngx_pagespeed-release-1.6.29.5-beta

Compared to the installed one, the new one has too few modules. Or does it mean nothing and you can safely rewrite init scripts?
Or is it better to add modules?

Thank you.

Answer 1

If you use them, then you need to add.
You can also remove those that are not needed with the --without parameter,
but in general, ./configure --help

Answer 2

You have Debian. Build the package and install it on the system already. By doing as it is written on the link, you turn your system into a garbage dump.
