Did all the steps I thought I was supposed to do to get SNI enabled but nginx -V still gives me this: nginx version: nginx/0.8.53 built by gcc 3.2.3 20030502 (Red Hat Linux 3.2.3-59) TLS SNI support disabled configure arguments: --with-http\_stub\_status\_module –with-http\_ssl\_module –with-debug --with-http\_gzip\_static\_module I upgraded to openssl 0.9.8p configured with: ./config --enable-tlsext (even though it’s now supposed to be a default that didn’t work either. make make test make install configured nginx as above, make, make install, started the new binary shut down the old one. Any idea why it’s still “TLS SNI support disabled” Thanks. ---
