simple lua file publising

[ramakanth varala]

Hi All,

I am beginner with nginx/openresty.

want to use lua files with openresty 1-21.4.1

I have a simple hello.lua file as shown below.

#!/usr/bin/lua

print ("Content-type: test/plain\n\n")
print ("hello World")

my nginx.conf is as below 

user  labuser;
worker_processes  1;

events {
    worker_connections  1024;
}


http {
    include       mime.types;
    default_type  application/octet-stream;

    sendfile        on;
    keepalive_timeout  65;

    server {
        listen       80;
        server_name  localhost;

        location / {
            #root   html;
            #index  index.html index.htm;
            default_type text/plain;
            }

        error_page   500 502 503 504  /50x.html;
        location = /50x.html {
            root   html;
        }
    }
}

syntax is coming as ok

but when I try to access this file like localhost/hello.lua , its printing all the file contents

instead of the just printing helloworld.

Any steps I am missing here.

Thanks

[...]

that's not how openresty is usually used. See the content_by_lua
examples regarding "dynamic dispatch" in
https://github.com/openresty/lua-nginx-module/blob/master/README.markdown
how to achieve something similar to what you want to do. Note the
"CAUTION" in the comment there and make absolutely sure you don't
allow any "../" or other means to escape your intended path. Also,
reconsider if you can get away with only a finite number of lua files
that are explicitly configured in (or inlined e.g. in
content_by_lua_block inside) your nginx.conf.

I find the 'getting started' link pretty useful
