I installed gem Passenger which installed 3.0.13. Then I executed passenger-install-nginx-module which is what the Nginx instructions on http://www.modrails.com said to do. It installs the latest stable version which is 1.2.1 according to the Nginx official wiki page. I said to install Nginx to /usr/local/nginx (which is the default if you go to the nginx wiki website). I get the following errors:

Undefined symbols for architecture x86_64:
  "_pcre_free_study", referenced from:
      _ngx_pcre_free_studies in ngx_regex.o
ld: symbol(s) not found for architecture x86_64
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[1]: *** [objs/nginx] Error 1
make: *** [build] Error 2
--------------------------------------------

It looks like something went wrong

Please read our Users guide for troubleshooting tips:

We'll do our best to help you.

I have done searches for several hours trying to find a resolution. I tried the Google Group for Phusion Passenger but did not find anything. I do not know if there is a mismatch in version numbers or not. The documentation says nothing about this error.

I had the same problem, saw this question but posted on StackOverflow.

Check out my answer. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/11065037/passenger-nginx-module-failing/11067526#11067526

From SO:

I see NGINX has a ticket for this that has been closed, but the solution did not work for me.

I did, however, get NGINX up and running again with Passenger by running a customized installation. It's obviously a compatibility issue with versions 2 and up.

First I just pulled down the NGINX source (1.0.15).

In my /usr/local

wget http://www.nginx.org/download/nginx-1.0.15.tar.gz nginx_source

Untar

 tar -xvz nginx-1.0.15.tar.gz

Then run the passenger installation. Choosing option 2 (Customized Instalation)

sudo passenger-install-nginx-module

There it prompts for where the source is /usr/local/nginx-1.0.15 and where you want it installed /usr/local/nginx (in my case).

Everything worked fine from there, anyone know of any real fixed for NGINX 2, please let me know.

  • I was able to get Nginx installed with no errors!! I saw the ticket that was opened and could not get it working either. This is why I submitted this question. I just have another question. I still have Apache pointing to port 80. I would like to point Nginx to 8080 or another port for now. Can I put the listen statement at the http level of the config file or can I just do listen at the server statement level? My plans are to eventually switch all our websites to Nginx. – Pamela Cook - LightBe Corp Jun 17 '12 at 16:16
  • Yeah just change the listen line in the server block. Wherever you installed nginx, open conf/nginx.conf and change `listen 80;` to `listen 8080;` – mgaughan Jun 17 '12 at 23:28
