Hi There, i’ve installed nginx from the debian apt-get nginx-full. Now I need passenger, too. Is there a way getting passenger up and running without removing nginx from the current system (and without installing a second instance of it) Thanks allot Chris ---

Hi, I don’t think so, you need to recompile nginx with passenger enabled. Regards, Pascal Am 22.07.2011 19:21, schrieb Christian Becker: ---

I think this is best way to use nginx with third-party modules. Also, I think Debian is slow on development (and/or packaging) third-party software (with third-party modules). – Sergey A.

Hi, Don’t use passenger, but use Debian stable and Sid. Current versions of nginx(-full) in the repos are: - squeeze (stable): 0.7.67-3 - wheezy (testing): 1.0.4-1 - sid (unstable): 1.0.5-1 While even the unstable branch lagged behind several versions prior to 1.0, as you can see they’ve picked up after 1.0. However, they are picky in moving any versions to stable - and now have a 2-year cycle for stable releases. Oddly enough, even OpenBSD has a more recent stable version: nginx-0.8.53p5-passenger and nginx-0.8.53p5. However, with 1.0 in the Debian repos came -full and -light, which largely depends on what the packagers deem as useful modules. So, i stick to compiling from source and installing with checkinstall and apt-pinning (or other means) to keep it under the package manager. Maybe OpenBSD’s -passenger will interest you; or you can compile, it’s no biggie. Is there any way to enable modules ar runtime? This would imply package maintainers would have to package modules independently, right? HTH, Nuno – “On the internet, nobody knows you’re a dog.” ---

I never liked that idea of throwing everything (which isn’t really everyhting) and the kitchen sink and call it nginx-full. I decided to have my own builds which bundle the core nginx modules and also the upload-progress and upstream-fair. You’re free to get the source package and add the passenger module to the modules directory while adding the module with –add-module=$(CURDIR)/modules/passenger-module-folder to the rules file and issue fakeroot debian/rules binary if you don’t want to create a full featured debian package, the binary package suffices.

Hi, you may want to use [dotdeb.org](http://dotdeb.org) which is pretty recent or debian.kaimei.eu which has the latest nginx version (max. 3 days after release so far) based on the dotdeb packages for amd64 and i386. Am 22.07.2011 22:42, schrieb Nuno Magalhes:
