Re: Debian Squeez - install Phusion Passenger AFTER nginx-full

Server NGINX
1

From: Nuno Magalh?es [email protected]

Don’t use passenger, but use Debian stable and Sid. Current versions
of nginx(-full) in the repos are:

  • squeeze (stable): 0.7.67-3
  • wheezy (testing): 1.0.4-1
  • sid (unstable): 1.0.5-1

Squeeze stable backport: 1.0.4-1

However, with 1.0 in the Debian repos came -full and -light, which
largely depends on what the packagers deem as useful modules. So, i
stick to compiling from source and installing with checkinstall and
apt-pinning (or other means) to keep it under the package manager.

Well, we can’t add all modules, but only which are requested by user.
There are also complain that third party modules some time breaks
default nginx installation.

If you need more modules, compile it with Debian package as someone
already suggested in thread. Or file a wishlist bug against nginx
Debian package. I’ll be happy to include it in nginx-extras package.

Yes, i (also?) suggested compiling from source, because no matter
which nginx-* packages you make, you won’t please everyone. Unless, of
course, you make a package for each module, but i assume that would
require nginx to load them at runtime. I still prefer compiling.

I’ll check out backports, thanks.
