Unknown directive "http"

Server NGINX
1

Hi, sorry to bother

Nginx compiled from FreeBSD ports tree without errors. Tested with my
old config (worked before) and nginx.conf-dist default config. When I
removed http { } block, it started to complain from mime.types types { }
block.

OS:
FreeBSD 9.0-RELEASE GENERIC amd64

Error:
Performing sanity check on nginx configuration:
nginx: [emerg] unknown directive “http” in
/usr/local/etc/nginx/nginx.conf:17
nginx: configuration file /usr/local/etc/nginx/nginx.conf test failed

Version:
nginx-1.2.0_1,1

With:
HEADERS_MORE_MODULE
HTTP_CACHE_MODULE
HTTP_MODULE
HTTP_REWRITE_MODULE
HTTP_SSL_MODULE
HTTP_STATUS_MODULE
IPV6
WWW

Hi Henri,

could you please provide your configuration file, i.e. nginx.conf?

Got it working again, I have no idea what was wrong. I compiled it
couple of times and error was still there. After installing and removing
older precompiled binary version with pkg_add (did not work because of
too new PCRE library). Compiled it again and it started working again.
So it was not my config :).

Thanks anyway!
