tar -zxvf nginx*
# we'll put the source for nginx modules in here
mkdir /opt/nginxmodules
cd /opt/nginxmodules
# get the source for the Headers More module - see http://wiki.nginx.org/HttpHeadersMoreModule
wget --no-check-certificate http://github.com/agentzh/headers-more-nginx-module/tarball/v0.14
tar -zxvf v0.14
mv agentzh-headers-more-nginx-module-2cbbc15 headers-more
cd /opt/nginx*/

# configure with chosen modules - see http://wiki.nginx.org/InstallOptions & http://articles.slicehost.com/2008/5/13/ubuntu-hardy-installing-nginx-from-source
./configure \

  --with-http_stub_status_module \
  --http-fastcgi-temp-path=/var/lib/nginx/fastcgi \
  --with-debug \
  --add-module=/opt/nginxmodules/headers-more

make
make install
vi /etc/init.d/nginx # edit the DEAMON with the correct new path, which is now /usr/local/nginx/sbin/nginx

/etc/init.d/nginx start

# Nginx should now be running - test it by visting your http://hostname/

Thanks, very useful!

It is indeed :) Thanks also

maybe add --with-http_ssl_module, --with-pcre and --with-ipv6

>> ./configure \
    --conf-path=/etc/nginx/nginx.conf \
    --error-log-path=/var/log/nginx/error.log \
    --pid-path=/var/run/nginx.pid \
    --lock-path=/var/lock/nginx.lock \
    --http-log-path=/var/log/nginx/access.log \
    --with-http_dav_module \
    --http-client-body-temp-path=/var/lib/nginx/body \
    --http-proxy-temp-path=/var/lib/nginx/proxy \
    --with-http_stub_status_module \
    --http-fastcgi-temp-path=/var/lib/nginx/fastcgi \
    --with-debug \
    --with-http_ssl_module \
    --with-pcre \
    --with-ipv6

Thanks

What do you put into the /etc/init.d/nginx file?

What is this for? http-client-body-temp-path

You may also want to include a apt-get update as the first step...
