I not sure how to compile nginx-upload-progress-module, This is my step  
for ubuntu 10.04 in linode server. i create a temp folder to dump all  
the source there.

cd temp  
wget [http://nginx.org/download/nginx-0.8.53.tar.gz](http://nginx.org/download/nginx-0.8.53.tar.gz)  
(download from [GitHub - masterzen/nginx-upload-progress-module: Nginx module implementing an upload progress system, that monitors RFC1867 POST uploads as they are transmitted to upstream servers.](http://github.com/masterzen/nginx-upload-progress-module)  
and sftp to “temp”)  
masterzen-nginx-upload-progress-module-v0.8.1-0-gc740674.tar.gz

upzip them  
tar xzvf nginx-0.8.53.tar.gz  
tar xzvf  
masterzen-nginx-upload-progress-module-v0.8.1-0-gc740674.tar.gz

I got funny folder name for  
masterzen-nginx-upload-progress-module-c740674, anyway i rename it as  
nginx\_uploadprogress\_module

cd nginx-0.8.53  
./configure --prefix=/opt   
–sbin-path=/opt/sbin/nginx   
–conf-path=/opt/etc/nginx/http-nginx.conf   
–error-log-path=/var/log/http-nginx/error.log   
–http-log-path=/var/log/http-nginx/access.log   
–pid-path=/var/run/http-nginx.pid   
–lock-path=/var/lock/http-nginx.lock   
–user=www-data   
–group=www-data   
–with-http\_realip\_module   
–with-rtsig\_module   
–with-http\_gzip\_static\_module   
–with-http\_stub\_status\_module   
–with-http\_ssl\_module   
–without-mail\_pop3\_module   
–without-mail\_imap\_module   
–without-mail\_smtp\_module   
–add-module=/root/temp/nginx-uploadprogress-module/

make &&  
make install

Is this the correct way? cause really don’t understand from

It’s simpler to clone the git repo and work from there. No strange  
names issues.

Unless it’s a typo above: no. The --add-module option must point to a  
valid path. See above: \_ instead of -.

Where does source for the module live in the filesystem? Point  
add-module to that.
