Forum: NGINX error in nginx-0.8.42: : mkdir() "/usr/local/nginx/uwsgi_temp" failed

Up until (at least) nginx-0.8.37 I was able to rebuild the nginx
Ubuntu package without any problems (I have previously posted in this 
list
the procedure to rebuild a Debain/Ubuntu package).

Using the nginx-0.8.42.tar.gz sources I am able to build
a nginx_0.8.42-0ubuntu1_i386.deb package that, once installed, gives
the following error while trying to run nginx:

sudo /usr/sbin/nginx -t
the configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf syntax is ok
[emerg]: mkdir() "/usr/local/nginx/uwsgi_temp" failed (2: No such file
 or directory) configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf test failed

As Debian does not use /usr/local/nginx/, it seems that something
named UWSGI is not following the file placing rules as it should.

Looks like you forgot to pass correct uwsgi-temp-path to configure 
script.

uWSGI (uwsgi?) follows same rules as client_body/FastCGI/log/proxy 
paths.
This means that starting with nginx-0.8.41 you should add
"--http-uwsgi-temp-path" to the ./configure options and starting with
nginx-0.8.42 you should also add "--http-scgi-temp-path".

I had the exact same error using apt-get via
http://wiki.nginx.org/NginxInstall -- In that case, there is no
configure involved, installation is pretty much automatic.

This extends the "you" who "forgot to pass correct uwsgi-temp-path to
configure script" I guess. But I don't know how to report the issue to
him/her.

BTW: I got by via a "mkdir /usr/local/nginx" but this might be
unorthodox.

In addition to Jean hughes:

I also installed from the ppa in ubuntu lucid, and created
/usr/local/nginx
Then I made the user (& group) www-data, who apparently is created by
the nginx install package, owner of /usr/local/nginx/ with read & write
access.
Start nginx with /etc.init.d/nginx start and youŕe ready to go.

It looks like that PPA has had some problems for the last 12 days.

On 8/12/2010 it built a package successfully but did not include those
two temp paths.
Build log:
http://launchpadlibrarian.net/53535379/buildlog_ubuntu-lucid-i386.nginx_0.8.49-1ppa1_FULLYBUILT.txt.gz

But then again on 8/12/2010 it tried to rebuild with the needed
options:
      --http-scgi-temp-path=/var/lib/nginx/scgi \
      --http-uwsgi-temp-path=/var/lib/nginx/uwsgi \
but failed to build.
Build log:
http://launchpadlibrarian.net/53565334/buildlog_ubuntu-lucid-i386.nginx_0.8.49%2Btime~lucid1_FAILEDTOBUILD.txt.gz

Looks like a naming problem.  Package name changed and it applied that
to the source path and then it couldn't find the upstream-fair module
and died.

Please contact the maintainer of the PPA.
