I am attempting to configure ngixn-1.4.1 on a SLES box for a galaxy  
server  
deployment. I am able to get it to work fine as long as I do not try to  
–add-module=…/nginx\_upload\_module-2.2.0. When I add the upload\_module  
to  
the configuration it fails as shown below:

```
../nginx_upload_module-2.2.0/ngx_http_upload_module.c

```

…/nginx\_upload\_module-2.2.0/ngx\_http\_upload\_module.c: In function  
‘ngx\_http\_read\_upload\_client\_request\_body’:

Error 1  
make[1]: Leaving directory `/root/nginx-1.4.1’  
make: \*\*\* [build] Error 2

My configuration script is:

./configure --add-module=/var/tmp/ldap/nginx-auth-ldap-master  
–add-module=…/nginx\_upload\_module-2.2.0 --with-pcre=…/pcre-8.33  
–with-http\_ssl\_module --conf-path=/usr/local/nginx/conf/nginx.conf  
–pid-path=/var/run/nginx.pid --error-log-path=/var/log/nginx/error.log  
–http-log-path=/var/log/nginx/access.log --user=galaxy --group=galaxy  
–with-debug

Is there a known issue with this version of nginx\_upload\_module? Is  
there a  
work around?

Thanks,

Iry Witham

Hello Davromaniak

Thanks for pointing me to this patch. I have made the needed changes  
and  
was able to compile it just fine.

For nginx starting 1.3.9, it’s a known problem.

I produced a patch (a kludge then corrected by another person), and the  
github issue is here :  
[https://github.com/vkholodkov/nginx-upload-module/issues/41](https://github.com/vkholodkov/nginx-upload-module/issues/41)

The modified patch seems to work with nginx 1.5.1.

Thanks.
