I installed Brotli on Ubuntu 18.04 with Nginx.
Here is the procedure I followed :
$ sudo apt-add-repository ppa:hda-me/nginx-stable
$ sudo apt update
$ sudo apt install brotli nginx nginx-module-brotli
With the tutorial of this blog :
https://clearleft.com/posts/a-dive-into-serving-brotli-compressed-assets
ubuntu@www-example-com ~ $ nginx -V 2>&1 | tr ' ' '\n' | grep brotli
--add-dynamic-module=debian/extra/ngx_brotli
I uncommented the following lines
ubuntu@www-example-com ~ $ sudo nano /etc/nginx/nginx.conf
load_module modules/ngx_http_brotli_filter_module.so;
load_module modules/ngx_http_brotli_static_module.so;
I test Nginx :
ubuntu@www-example-com ~ $ sudo nginx -t
nginx: the configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf syntax is ok
nginx: configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf test is successful
My configuration seems correct. What's wrong ?
