V 0.9.4: unexpected end of file, expecting "; " or "}" in /etc/mime.types:789

Server NGINX

Hi Folks

I couldn’t see a reference to this in the recent archives, and googling
didn’t help.

I’ve just installed Debian 6 on a new laptop, and compiled nginx 0.9.4
with:
./configure --with-http_ssl_module --with-http_gzip_static_module
–without-http_autoindex_module --without-http_browser_module
–without-http_fastcgi_module
–without-http_geo_module --without-http_empty_gif_module
–without-http_map_module
–without-http_proxy_module --without-http_memcached_module
–without-http_ssi_module
–without-http_userid_module --prefix=/usr/local/nginx
–sbin-path=/usr/local/sbin/nginx
–conf-path=/etc/nginx.conf --pid-path=/var/run/nginx.pid
–http-log-path=/var/log/nginx/access.log
–error-log-path=/var/log/nginx/error.log --user=nginx --group=nginx

Starting nginx with the default /etc/nginx.conf, with Debian’s
default /etc/mime.types gives:

nginx@zigzag:~$ nginx: [emerg] unexpected end of file, expecting “;” or
“}” in /etc/mime.types:789

Any ideas?

/etc/mime.types is not an Nginx config file on my Debian 6 setup. The
default config folder for Nginx is /etc/nginx, and the default config
file is /etc/nginx/nginx.conf. The mime.types file is
/etc/nginx/mime.types. You should probably just use /etc/nginx as your
base, not /etc.

Btw, /etc/mime.types does exist on my Debian 6 setup, it’s just not an
Nginx config file.

Thanx for the replies. You gave me an idea.

I understand /etc/mime.types is a Deb file, not an nginx file.

I changed my config.sh to use
–conf-path=/etc/nginx/nginx.conf rather than as above,
/and/ copied /etc/mime.types to /etc/nginx/
assuming there was a bug in nginx when the config was /etc/nginx.conf,
in that the line # of the error is the (correct) last line
of /etc/mime.types, so I guess the code is not handling properly the
case where nginx.conf and mime.types are in /etc/, somehow.

And yes, after cleaning up my old proxy pass stuff, that fixed it.

Many thanx.
