Is the nginx version hardcoded in passenger-install-nginx-module ?

[Thibaut Barrère]

Hello,

I'm curious as I'm automating my setups with chef, and currently using
passenger-install-nginx-module --auto --auto-download.

Is the version of nginx installed by this command line hardcoded into
passenger, in order to match ? Or is it downloading the latest stable
of nginx?

Thanks!

The version is hardcoded. But you can just download the Nginx tarball
yourself and use --nginx-source-dir.

Thanks - I will definitely use that.

Is there currently a way to install the nginx extension without recompiling nginx itself ?

I'm asking as I use a chef recipe that already compiles nginx, before passenger gets installed.

My understanding is that "no, it's not possible, because nginx needs to be recompiled to enable new modules".

Is that so ?

No, Nginx does not support loadable modules like Apache does.

Thanks for the confirmation!

In case it helps other here, here's the recipe I came up with for
passenger + nginx on chef:

https://github.com/thbar/cookbooks/blob/master/nginx/recipes/source.rb
(and the rest of the nginx folder).

Basically, it compiles nginx with the passenger module after
installing passenger via gem install.

cheers,
