Pcre

Server NGINX
1

Hi Experts,

I am working on NGINX-1.6.3 version. Installation is successful using
latest
pcre, pcre-devel packages too…

While accessing the service, static contents were not loaded.
As suggested in google, I tried configuring as below where the static
contents are available @
“http://livetests123/livetest/WEB-INF/classes/static/”

server {
   listen 80;
   server_name livetest.corp.com;

   location ~"*\.(js|jpg|png|css)$" {
      root http://livetests123/livetest/;
      expires 30d;
   }

   location /{
      proxy_pass http://livetest123/livetest/login/;
   }
}

On the first step while starting Nginx, I could see below message about
PCRE
nginx: [emerg] using regex “”*.(js|jpg|png|css)$“” requires PCRE
library

I have confirmed again with yum install PCRE that the “latest version is
already installed and nothing to do” message in return.

Pls. assist for the below queries:

(1) How to fix the issue - nginx: [emerg] using regex
“”*.(js|jpg|png|css)$“” requires PCRE library
(2) Post which, how to configure in achievint static content available @
“http://livetests123/livetest/WEB-INF/classes/static/”?

Best regards,
Maddy

Hello!

The “root” directive is to configure filesystem paths. If you
want nginx to proxy requests to another URL, you have to use
proxy_pass. See details at Module ngx_http_proxy_module.

The error message suggests that your nginx binary was compiled
without the PCRE library. You have to recompile nginx if you want
it to support regexes.

I have installed 1.8.0 and configure is successful and no PCRE
exceptions
are thrown now.

But, I face issues in loading static content available on different
servers.
How to achieve this, pls. suggest?
