I have mod_pagespeed running on my Dreamhost Ubuntu 12.04 VPS. Every time I turn on mod_pagespeed again the old header display (top black bar with data I removed - is shown on all pages. This despite the fact that the new version has been on for a few days and me running the command 

sudo touch  /var/mod_pagespeed/cache.flush

The command and path to it was suggested by Dreamhost here and is the same as suggested at Google itself. When I turn off mod_pagespeed and restart the VPS the latest version returns. But I really would like to use mod_pagespeed.

Any ideas how I can troubleshoot this and get mod_pagespeed to load the proper content?

    I too have noticed this issue. Have you tried clearing /var/cache/mod_pagespeed/ as that's the default cache directory AFAIK. – i-CONICA Dec 01 '14 at 10:32
  • I have `/var/mod_pagespeed/cache# ls !clean!time! http,3A prop_page rname`. Under /var/cache I have `/var/cache# ls analog apt debconf dictionaries-common fontconfig git ldconfig man pbuilder` . Do you mean you empty the cache folder completely by deleting all folders like `http,3A` `prop_page` and `rname`? – rhand Dec 01 '14 at 10:36
  • Might just do that. Reading http://craterdesigns.com/how-to-easily-clear-mod_pagespeed-cache on a similar approach. – rhand Dec 01 '14 at 10:45

As mentioned here and suggested by @i-CONICA I did a removal of the cache folder and re-created it: 

sudo mv /var/mod_pagespeed/cache /var/mod_pagespeed/cache.del
sudo rm -rf /var/mod_pagespeed/cache.del
sudo mkdir /var/mod_pagespeed/cache
sudo chown dhapache:dhapache /var/mod_pagespeed/cache

NB Group and user dhapache are Dreamhost specific

Then I restarted the VPS server doing a reboot. After that the new content was served. All good. Dreamhost got back to me, but that not add any new intel. If they do at a later stage I will update the answer with another and or better solution.
