Currently I am installing a new server with Nginx. Additionally I want to add the Google Pagespeed Module and SSL support. However it seems my Nginx build does not recognize it is build with the ngx_http_ssl_module. These are the steps I took to build nginx with these modules.
Configure the Nginx build:
./configure --add-module=/path/to/pagespeed_module --with-http_ssl_module
Make my build:
> make
...
Configuration summary
+ using system OpenSSL library
...
Install build:
> make install
...
objs/src/http/modules/ngx_http_ssl_module.o \
...
Having vhost:
server {
listen 443 ssl;
root /path/to/application;
index index.php index.html index.htm;
server_name my.domain.com;
# SSL
# ---
ssl on;
ssl_certificate /path/to/certificate.crt;
ssl_certificate_key /path/to/certificate.key;
keepalive_timeout 70;
...
}
Reload:
> nginx -s reload
Check config:
> nginx -t
nginx: the configuration file /path/to/config syntax is ok
nginx: configuration file /path/to/config test is successful
Check version:
> nginx -V
nginx version: nginx/1.13.6
built by gcc 6.3.0 20170406 (Ubuntu 6.3.0-12ubuntu2)
built with OpenSSL 1.0.2g 1 Mar 2016
TLS SNI support enabled
configure arguments: --add-module=/path/to/pagespeed_module --with-http_ssl_module
Check error log:
the "ssl" parameter requires ngx_http_ssl_module in /path/to/vhost
The only error given through this process is when I restart my nginx with the new build. I have tried to make a build without the pagesped module, building clean and adding the module afterwards: but no success.
Suggestions on where to check when this error appears would be more than welcome.
