Hello,

Is there any way to add an nginx module (I am interested on Rewrite  
Module) on a installation made with an RPM that do not include such a  
module?

Thank you!

Hello,

no.  
You need to download SRPM and recompile nginx with this module.

Ok, thank you. By the way, I never used SRPM, if someone in the future  
has the same question, here seems to be an easy tutorial on how to add a  
nginx module by using SRPM:
