Question
Install mod_spdy on Apache 2.4
- Posted August 12, 2014
Hi, I don’t think that I am the only one which has this issue. When I try to install mod_spdy, I’ve got some dependencies issues.
Here is the output :
$ dpkg -i mod-spdy-beta_current_amd64.deb
Selecting previously unselected package mod-spdy-beta.
(Reading database ... 111842 files and directories currently installed.)
Preparing to unpack mod-spdy-beta_current_amd64.deb ...
Unpacking mod-spdy-beta (0.9.4.3-r420) ...
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of mod-spdy-beta:
mod-spdy-beta depends on apache2.2-common; however:
Package apache2.2-common is not installed.
dpkg: error processing package mod-spdy-beta (--install):
dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
Errors were encountered while processing:
mod-spdy-beta
I even tried to downgrade apache to 2.2 but the digital ocean mirrors doesn’t provide that version unfortunately.
If anyone has a clue how to fix this issue, please let me know, Thanks

Yet another server migration \o/
I’ll do that then. Thanks for the trick.
Judging from this lengthy bug report, mod_spdy does not yet support Ubuntu 14.04 or Apache 2.4 The simplest solution is to use Ubuntu 12.04 if you need mod_spdy as it ships with Apache 2.2.
On Ubuntu 14.04 x64 vmlinuz-3.13.0-32-generic with LAMP and php5-fpm, I got it working with this guide
