nginx modules list (enable, disable, upgrade, install dynamic module)

command

it will list nginx version with complied modules, while installing a module.

installed along with nginx install, no way to disable or enable like Apache

dynamic modules:

available in nginx plus and newer nginx version.

compile nginx module in same environment like production server.

test server: used to complie the module. after compiled module available,

we have to copy the module end .so

/etc/nginx/modules (or other path).

and include in nginx.conf

Loadmodule /path/tomodule

nginx module instead of error fix.

if you are using this dynamic module, you will get this (,upgrade failed).

because dynamic module has to recompile along with new nginx version.

/etc/nginx/modules/ngx_http_geoip_module.so

don’t restart or reboot(if nginx unable to start until problem fixed)

temporary fix: unload module by commenting in nginx.conf & start the upgrade

permanent fix: recompile the module with new nginx version /current nginx version.

how to install dynamic module in nginx?

check your nginx version

nginx -v

or upgrade to latest version.

then type nginx -v

download latest version of nginx it should match current production server

wget -qO – http://nginx.org/download/nginx-1.18.10.tar.gz | tar zxfv –

git clone https://github.com/perusio/nginx-hello-world-module.git

sudo apt-get install unzip gcc make libpcre3-dev zlib1g-dev

company & make modules command

cd nginx-1.11.10/

./configure –with-compat –add-dynamic-module=../nginx-hello-world-module

$ make modules

by default its available in objs subdirectory

ls objs/*.so

objs/ngx_http_hello_world.so

cp objs/ngx_http_hello_world.so /etc/nginx/modules

service nginx upgrade

loadmodule

,& reload nginx

if you are building it in production server.

it’s better to complie in build environment & copy to production server.

mycase: I already did in production server (but downtime important in case of high traffic)

enable & disable dynamic module in nginx

edit conf file

comment or uncommet

reload nginx server.

also read pagespeed module in nginx as dynamic.

module configuration file would be in nginx.conf or

conf.d modulename.conf

Note: every module has some features, and runs in memory (so uninstall unnecessary modules or install with required module)
