I follow [http://wiki.codemongers.com/NginxHttpAccessKeyModule#accesskey](http://wiki.codemongers.com/NginxHttpAccessKeyModule#accesskey) to install the ngx\_http\_accesskey\_module,but get an error: 2008/10/15 22:48:56 [emerg] 31870#0: unknown directive “accesskey” in /usr/local/nginx/conf/nginx.conf71 What’s the problem? ---

You’re not running a binary with accesskey compiled in. Have you recompiled Nginx after configuring the module? Installed the newly compiled version? Restarted/upgraded the binary?

I download the file nginx-accesskey-2.0.3.tar.gz and untar and put it in $nginxsrchome/src/addons then run: 1…/configure --user=www --group=www --prefix=/usr/local/nginx –with-http\_stub\_status\_module --with-http\_ssl\_module --with-md5=/usr –with-http\_gzip\_static\_module --with-http\_realip\_module –with-poll\_module --add-module=src/addons/nginx-accesskey-2.0.3/ 2.make 3.make install 4.kill the old nginx pid and run the new nginx Any thing is wrong? 2008/10/15 Grzegorz N.

Use the full path ./configure --user=www --group=www --prefix=/usr/local/nginx –with-http\_stub\_status\_module --with-http\_ssl\_module --with-md5=/usr –with-http\_gzip\_static\_module --with-http\_realip\_module –with-poll\_module –add-module=/root/src/nginx-0.7.18/src/addons/nginx-accesskey-2.0.3/ strings objs/nginx | grep accesskey\_signature outputs: accesskey\_signature But the error is the same: 2008/10/16 00:11:58 [emerg] 7566#0: unknown directive “accesskey” in /usr/local/nginx/conf/nginx.conf:70 2008/10/15 Grzegorz N.

Looks OK to me, but there was a thread some time ago about Nginx not liking relative paths to addon modules (IIRC), so you might try using the full path, e.g. --add-module=$PWD/src/addons/nginx-accesskey-2.0.3/ Save the output of configure somewhere, do you see a message about configuring the accesskey module? Just in case, does the following command output anything (while you are in the Nginx source directory where you compiled it)? strings objs/nginx | grep accesskey\_signature Best regards, Grzegorz N. ---

Make sure you ran make install successfully (you may need root privileges), compare the binaries (objs/nginx and /wherever/you/installed/nginx) using e.g. md5sum and if they match, restart Nginx. Make sure the pid changed 🙂 Best regards, Grzegorz N. ---

All you said is right.But nginx can not do the job well. 2008/10/16 Grzegorz N. [removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid](mailto:removed_email_address@domain.invalid): ---

I ran into the same issue with nginx-0.7.24 and accesskey-2.0.3. Found a Russian post and the solution is modify the “config” file of accesskey as following: -HTTP\_MODULES=“$HTTP\_MODULES $HTTP\_ACCESSKEY\_MODULE” +HTTP\_MODULES=“$HTTP\_MODULES ngx\_http\_accesskey\_module” refer: [Lexa Software: Nginx-ru@sysoev.ru archive](http://www.lexa.ru/nginx-ru/msg20551.html)
