Hi, I’m writing a filter module which will output static files according to information returned by an upstream handler like FastCGI, or Apache. There is some testing code in header/body filters. I’m launching the server merely to see whether my code is invoked. All configuration and cleanup stuff seems to be working. But the header/body filters are not called at all(both call ngx\_log\_error). Vhost configuration: [http://bpaste.net/show/121898/](http://bpaste.net/show/121898/) The module: [http://bpaste.net/show/121900/](http://bpaste.net/show/121900/) Please help to figure out what’s wrong with it.

Maybe the cause is in config. For example, using HTTP\_MODULES instead of HTTP\_FILTER\_MODULES.

Thank you for the reply. Hmm, maybe I build it different way. I have the following files to configure, make and install it: conf.sh: cd ~/src/nginx ./auto/configure --prefix=/home/ruslan –with-debug –conf-path=/home/ruslan/etc/nginx/nginx.conf –user=ruslan –group=www –pid-path=/home/ruslan/var/run/nginx.pid –lock-path=/home/ruslan/var/run/nginx.lock –error-log-path=/home/ruslan/var/log/nginx/error.log –add-module=/home/ruslan/projects/nginx/modules/file\_chunks\_filter make.sh cd ~/src/nginx make -j7 install.sh cd ~/src/nginx make install So I simply run ./conf.sh ; ./make.sh ; install.sh. Isn’t it right? Or, should I modify the nginx configuration? Thanks.

Oh, sorry, the `config` file contains: ngx\_addon\_name=ngx\_http\_file\_chunks\_filter\_module HTTP\_MODULES=“$HTTP\_MODULES ngx\_http\_file\_chunks\_filter\_module” HTTP\_INCS=“$HTTP\_INCS /usr/include/libxml2 " CORE\_LIBS=”$CORE\_LIBS -lxml2" NGX\_ADDON\_SRCS=“$NGX\_ADDON\_SRCS $ngx\_addon\_dir/ngx\_http\_file\_chunks\_filter\_module.c” Posted at Nginx Forum: > **[Re: My filter module is not called](https://forum.nginx.org/read.php?2,241761,241765#msg-241765)** > > Hi, I'm writing a filter module which will output static files according to information returned by an upstream handler like FastCGI, or Apache.

Yes, indeed, I had to put it into HTTP\_FILTER\_MODULES. Thank you!
