Greetings

I am attempting to compile nginx-0.8.49 with the upstream fair module.  
The configure script seems to run ok with the following options:

```auto
#./configure --add-module=../upfair
```

but when I run make it fails with this error:

```auto
objs/src/os/unix/ngx_process.o: In function `ngx_process_get_status':
/mnt/store/src/nginx/SOURCES/nginx-0.8.49/src/os/unix/ngx_process.c:490:
warning: `sys_errlist' is deprecated; use `strerror' or `strerror_r'
instead
/mnt/store/src/nginx/SOURCES/nginx-0.8.49/src/os/unix/ngx_process.c:490:

instead
make[1]: Leaving directory `/mnt/store/src/nginx/SOURCES/nginx-0.8.49'
```

And make install produces this:

```auto

make -f objs/Makefile install

make[1]: Leaving directory `/mnt/store/src/nginx/SOURCES/nginx-0.8.49'
```

And if I try to start nginx this is what I get:

```auto
[root@LCENT01:/home/bluethundr]#service nginx start
Starting nginx: [FAILED]
```

I am on CentOS 55 x86\_64

```auto
[root@LCENT01:/home/bluethundr]#uname -a
Linux LCENT01 2.6.18-194.11.3.el5xen #1 SMP Mon Aug 30 17:42:28 EDT 2010
i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
[root@LCENT01:/home/bluethundr]#cat /etc/redhat-release
CentOS release 5.5 (Final)
```

Any help I could get to help me get this going would be greatly  
appreciated! 🙂

Those are just warnings, not errors. They can be safely ignored.

Looks like it worked. I don’t see any errors.

You need to look in nginx’s error log (probably /var/log/nginx/error.log  
assuming you copied /etc/init.d/nginx from the wiki). Most likely you  
have an error in your nginx.conf file. If you can’t figure out the  
error from the error log, then post your nginx.conf here.
