Updating nginx and installing module
I've tried for several hours, googling and searching through pages for the answer but to no avail.
Currently, I am running nginx 1.0.5 and Ubuntu 11.10. I'm trying to install the MP4 module of nginx through the configuration (–with-httpmp4module).
Previously, I have installed nginx through "apt-get install nginx" but I've read that modules can only be installed during compilation.
I followed the guide from the Linode library, using the latest version they had (for 10.10,
Before compiling I retrieved the configure parameters through nginx -V:
--prefix=/etc/nginx
--conf-path=/etc/nginx/nginx.conf
--error-log-path=/var/log/nginx/error.log
--http-client-body-temp-path=/var/lib/nginx/body
--http-fastcgi-temp-path=/var/lib/nginx/fastcgi
--http-log-path=/var/log/nginx/access.log
--http-proxy-temp-path=/var/lib/nginx/proxy
--http-scgi-temp-path=/var/lib/nginx/scgi
--http-uwsgi-temp-path=/var/lib/nginx/uwsgi
--lock-path=/var/lock/nginx.lock
--pid-path=/var/run/nginx.pid
--with-debug
--with-http_addition_module
--with-http_dav_module
--with-http_geoip_module
--with-http_gzip_static_module
--with-http_image_filter_module
--with-http_realip_module
--with-http_stub_status_module
--with-http_ssl_module
--with-http_sub_module
--with-http_xslt_module
--with-ipv6
--with-sha1=/usr/include/openssl
--with-md5=/usr/include/openssl
--with-mail
--with-mail_ssl_module
During the compilation there were several errors, which I resolved by removing modules I thought were unnecessary.
Even though the compilation was a success (I was able to make, make install) the module doesn't seem to be installed and the nginx version doesn't change. The only noticeable change is in the /etc/nginx folder where a few new files were created.
Can anyone guide me through this?
Thank you!
