How to use/compile the headers-more-nginx-module with the Ubuntu nginx package (v1.9.12)

swinster70

Hi,

I'm currently using the latest Nginx mainline package (v1.9.12) for Ubuntu 14.04 as my knowledge of getting a purely compiled application into a fully functional state (with daemon/service added, log folder set etc.) is limited (read noob). This is also based on a previous ngnix configuration/VM image, so this all works well.

However, I wanted to see if I could get the above module working with this package. I read that it could be loaded as a dynamic module for v1.9.11 and on (https://github.com/openresty/headers-more-nginx-module#installation), but this still seems to require a certain amount of pre-compilation, so I wonder if it is actually at all possible to get this module working with the package installed via "apt-get"?

I have tried to compile ngnix with this module from source (as per the instruction listed above), and even download and compile Openresty, but for the reasons mentioned previously, I simply can't get this working properly. The Openresty installation instruction go as far as compilation but then stop.

Is there anything I can do here to simply get the model to dynamically load in the installed nginx package?

Cheers.

No. You need the original source used to build your binary nginx
debian package for compiling dynamic nginx modules.

Thanks agentzh ,

Unfortunately, I have read the https://openresty.org/en/getting-started.html and it only seems to get me started part way. As mentioned, I simply can't get this working properly. The Openresty installation instructions go as far as compilation but then stops, I can't get this in a fully functional state (with daemon/service added, log folder set etc.) is limited (read noob). In addition, the currently installed package is also based on a previous ngnix configuration/VM image, so this all works well. Whilst after compilation I can get the new application to run just by navigating to the OpenResty/nginx folder and running the application as sudo, I simply can't get it to work as the packaged version does (i.e. it doesn't seem to want to serve the websites correctly).

Chris,

Can you paste your config and what exact steps you're taking to better describe the issue? Simply saying "it doesn't work" won't help as we have no way to know exactly what you're doing. Describe a clear set of reproducible steps to clearly define your circumstances provides much better insight than "I can't get it to work". Saying it's not serving websites "correctly" is pretty meaningless without context. The more details you can provide, the better.
