configure nginx prefix question

sparvu

Hi,

I want to install all openresty files without the 'nginx' auto prefix which comes during the
configure phase. Here it is what Im doing:

env CC=cc ./configure --prefix=${iprefix} --with-luajit --with-cc=/usr/bin/cc
, where iprefix=/opt/sdr/auth

So all things will install under that prefix. Everything goes fine, but at the end
I have something like:

/opt/sdr/auth/nginx/
/opt/sdr/auth/luajit
...

and I want to install all NGINX bits under prefix not under prefix/nginx -

Can I do that ? How ?

Thanks a lot,
Stefan

No. nginx is just a component in openresty and the installation tree
has assumptions about the directory structure under prefix. Decision
has been made to make it an explicit subdirectory named "nginx/" under
the openresty prefix.

I see. Ok fair enough, we will use that. No worries from this side.

Is there some advices how one would deploy lua scripts under
nginx prefix or outside of it !?

nginx/sbin
/app -> here .lua script
/static

I understand that is all depending on how nginx.conf will look like but where people are
usually placing their .lua scripts ?

Thanks,
Stefan

Do not pollute the openresty/nginx installation tree with your own app
code and configurations. This is considered bad practice.

The nginx executable supports the -p <PATH> command-line option to
specify a runtime prefix, which should point to the directory of your
app, for example,

    /path/to/your/nginx/sbin/nginx -p /path/to/your/app

This usage is demonstrated in the GettingStarted page on openresty.org:
