The good old upload module won^t compile anymore.

Take a look at ngx_lua module and the lua-resty-upload library:

I have the same problem. The upload module was exactly what I needed. I
don’t understand the complexity of why it can’t be made to work in
1.4.x+.
I was looking at resty upload module. I was curious how to store the
file
on disk relative to the document root?
For some reason it didn’t work unless I specified the absolute path.
Perhaps I am doing it wrong?
Thank you agentzh, it look as it can do the job.
Do you know if there will be some performance related Issues with usage
of
the lua module?

The ngx_lua module was created with performance in mind from day #1
and quite a few people have been using it in production to prevent
developing custom nginx C modules. So if you run into any performance
issues, just let me know.
BTW, you’re recommended to use LuaJIT 2.0+ with ngx_lua to maximize
speed.

You can just obtain the document root in Lua via
ngx.var.document_root, i.e., accessing Nginx’s built-in variable
$document_root:
http://wiki.nginx.org/HttpCoreModule#.24document_root
So it’s trivial to construct a proper absolute path without assuming
what the document root is in Lua.
