Hi EngineX Users, Our company is newbie at Nginx. We installed Nginx 1.0.0 our demo server with Spawn. We solved most of migration problem from Apache to Nginx. We couldn’t install third party modules on Nginx. We followed the wiki, forum and google unfortunately we can’t solve. 1. Does something change over installing native and third party modules from 8.X to 1.0.x! 2. Does nginx 1.0.0 support backward compatibility for third party modules? 3. After install nginx 1.0.0 how can i install third party modules on nginx? We use this code for install nginx. sudo -s nginx=stable # use nginx=development for latest development version add-apt-repository ppa:nginx/$nginx apt-get update apt-get install nginx Best regards.

Hi. There was an API change but I can’t remember when it was. Regardless it had only minor effect and pretty much all the modules should work fine regardless. I think what has you confused is how to install 3rd party modules. Nginx only supports compiling in modules statically, which means you have to enable them during compile time. You can’t install Nginx and then later add in modules. (without recompiling) Thankfully, adding 3rd party modules during compile is pretty easy as you just need -add-module=/path/to/module/source Posted at Nginx Forum: > **[Re: Nginx 1.0.0 and Third Party Modules Install](https://forum.nginx.org/read.php?2,191693,191721#msg-191721)** > > Hi EngineX Users, Our company is newbie at Nginx.

Hi, Thank you very much for your reply. Nearly two days we read your blog especially evil framework is very interesting. We understand that we can’t install modules after installed nginx. We have to configure modules when we are compiling nginx. So we can’t use apt-get install nginx if we wanna use third modules etc. First we configure and then make install nginx. :S Are we right? It is really strange. Thanks.

Only, if all you’ve ever used are binary-packages. That said, NGINX is certainly not ideally suited for platforms where it’s difficult to rebuild a package with custom or 3rd-party patches. ---

I dont know why you would use the debian version of nginx anyway… its years out of date. ---

Hi, We use ubuntu on laptop and centos on server. So we follow the [http://wiki.nginx.org/Install](http://wiki.nginx.org/Install) for PPA. How can we know that it is out of date especially it installed version 1.0.0. 🙂 Anyway we understand that there is no way to add modules without ./configure and make install again. Thanks.

I check DotDeb. It is really good but i need upload module. [http://www.grid.net.ru/nginx/upload.en.html](http://www.grid.net.ru/nginx/upload.en.html) Dotdeb isn’t include upload module. May be we write our rest service with RDS JSON modules in the future. I think we should install nginx manually. Thank you very much for information.

I’m using dotdeb now to come over this. [dotdeb.org](http://dotdeb.org) uses the latest stable version of nginx to build 3 package versions: light, extras and full In these versions there are some modules already compiled in. You may want to check that out. Also dotdeb offers php5.3 packages and so on for debian. [http://dotdeb.org](http://dotdeb.org) Am 16.04.2011 19:27, schrieb SplitIce: ---

## onur.ozgur.ozkan Wrote: > Thanks. I should write a complete blog post about modifying a debian/ubuntu package to add modules. I do the work in a virtualbox virtual machine so I don’t clutter up my computers with all the dev packages. Basically this: make a working directory and cd to it apt-get source nginx (this will get the 1.0.0 from ppa:nginx/stable if you have it in your apt sources) apt-get build-dep nginx cd to the nginx-[version] directory download and untar the new modules to the module directory (debian prefers that you make a patch and put it in debian/patches, but you can just put them in place manually for now) modify debian/rules and add the appropriate line to the configure command (you can mostly copy the line there for the upstream-fair module) run dch to update the changelog with a new version run debuild -us -uc and voila you have a new deb that you can dpkg -i. If you’re on Ubuntu and you intend to keep doing it and distributing it to multiple machines, I highly recommend getting a launchpad ppa. There’s some extra one time work registering a gpg key with launchpad and on your virtual machine and the debuild command is a little different, and you dput it up to launchpad, but it’s still quick, and then you can just apt-get full-upgrade to pull your new version to all your dev/production servers.

Wrong: in the unstable distribution it’s 0.8.54, hardly years out of date. There are plenty of builds out there of up to date devel releases of nginx for debian. Much more than for Ubuntu. Remember than in debian there’s no supposedly “funny” cleverly devised names for the releases. There are stable, testing and unstable releases. With apt pinning you can mix and match packages from several releases. For example building nginx with openssl-1.0.0d. Please don’t spread misinformation. Thank you, — appa
