Nginx won't start after adding scgi to config

Server NGINX
1

I’m trying to set up rutorrent, and their wiki tells me to add this to
my
server block:

location /RPC2 {
include scgi_params;
scgi_pass unix:/tmp/rpc.sock;
}

After I do that and restart nginx, I get this error:

$ sudo /etc/init.d/nginx start
Starting nginx: nginx: [emerg] unknown directive “scgi_pass” in
/etc/nginx/conf.d/localhost.conf:24
nginx: configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf test failed

As far as I know the SCGI module has been built in by default since
0.8.42.
I’m running 1.1.19 which I’ve verified with nginx -v.

Here’s my entire server block:

Note that everything runs fine if I remove the /RPC2 location block.

Having verified what you say about the module (whilst I don’t use it
myself) here’s a non-nginx-config/compile-y idea:

I suggest you make /absolutely/ sure that the binary in your (root?)
path that gets hit with “nginx -v” is the same one you end up running
via the init script. As in, explicitly trace it through the script
and the filesystem to ensure you’re not hitting an older binary for
some reason.
