## Install openssl\
cd ../openssl-${OPENSSL_VERSION}
./config
make depend
make
make test
# Move old OpenSSL files if they exist
sudo mv /usr/bin/openssl /usr/bin/openssl_${OPENSSL_CURRENT_VERSION}
# If you prefer to install straight from source
#sudo make install
# If you prefer to create a .deb file and use your package manager
sudo checkinstall
sudo ln -s /usr/local/ssl/bin/openssl /usr/bin/openssl



## Install nginx + modules
cd ../nginx-${NGINX_VERSION}
# PageSpeed Cache
sudo mkdir -p /var/cache/pagespeed
# nginx cache
sudo mkdir -p /var/cache/nginx/{client_temp,fastcgi_temp,proxy_temp}
# nginx logs
sudo mkdir -p /var/log/nginx
sudo touch /var/log/nginx/{error,access}.log
./configure ${NGINX_CONFIG}
make
# If you prefer to install straight from source
#sudo make install
# If you prefer to create a .deb file and use your package manager
sudo checkinstall

#cd ..
# Download nginx startup script and make executable
sudo wget https://gist.githubusercontent.com/AJMaxwell/2c06c3704fac46d14939419c8ad1807e/raw/f8818e55b28ff8fa12531d7d7220c5c48de9eba3/nginx -O /etc/init.d/nginx
sudo chmod +x /etc/init.d/nginx

# Add nginx to system startup
sudo /usr/sbin/update-rc.d -f nginx defaults

echo "Installation Complete!"

Thanks for the feedback everyone! I have just updated the script.

Changes:

• Moved the source files to /usr/local/src
• Updated version numbers
• Tweaked $NGINX_FLAGS
• Added missing Nginx cache directory to mkdir
• New PageSpeed installation process

This script was made to run on Ubuntu 14.04; if you need it to run on 16.04, see @arvin-foroutan's comment.

Can't understand...

# nginx -v
The program 'nginx' can be found in the following packages:
 * nginx-core
 * nginx-extras
 * nginx-full
 * nginx-light
 * nginx-naxsi
Try: apt-get install <selected package>

sudo service nginx start
return nothing and service don't start

How to start/stop/restart nginx?

@elephantux Are you on Ubuntu 14.04? If you're running 16.04, checkout @arvin-foroutan's comment.

./configure: error: no /root/ngx_pagespeed-1.12.34.2-beta/config was found
make: *** No rule to make target 'build', needed by 'default'. Stop.
make: *** No rule to make target 'install'. Stop.
Installation Complete!

I tried to run this script in ubuntu:xenial container

pagespeed download file changed its name to incubator-pagespeed-ngx-1.12.34.2-beta. But I still get errors:
ngx_pagespeed: pagespeed optimization library not found:
./configure: 31: /root/ngx_pagespeed-1.12.34.2-beta/config: [[: not found

You need to separately download the pagespeed library:
$ cd /root/ngx_pagespeed-1.12.34.2-beta
$ wget https://dl.google.com/dl/page-speed/psol/1.12.34.2-x64.tar.gz
$ tar -xzvf 1.12.34.2-x64.tar.gz # expands to psol/

Or see the installation instructions:
https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/module/build_ngx_pagespeed_from_source
make: *** No rule to make target 'build', needed by 'default'. Stop.
make: *** No rule to make target 'install'. Stop.
