If you are installing nginx on a Cpanel server using NginxCP, it's possible that you need to compile a custom module like naxsi. You can't do this through NginxCP's configure file, for some reason it does not work. Below are the steps to be taken to add the module correctly.
1. Download and install nginxcp per the instructions on www.nginxcp.com.
2. In order to add something like naxsi, you essentially have to reinstall nginx on top of the existing version of nginx that was installed by Nginxcp.
3. Follow the instructions here: http://code.google.com/p/naxsi/wiki/Howto. Download the latest stable versions of naxsi and nginx.
4. Untar nginx and install it using the following options (just make sure the path and the version of naxsi are correct):
Code:
--with-pcre=/usr/local/src/publicnginx/pcre-8.30 --sbin-path=/usr/local/sbin --conf-path=/etc/nginx/nginx.conf --pid-path=/var/run/nginx.pid --add-module=../naxsi-0.47/naxsi_src/ --error-log-path=/var/log/nginx/error.log --http-log-path=/var/log/nginx/access.log --with-http_realip_module --with-http_ssl_module --http-client-body-temp-path=/tmp/nginx_client --http-proxy-temp-path=/tmp/nginx_proxy --http-fastcgi-temp-path=/tmp/nginx_fastcgi --with-http_stub_status_module
Notice that we added the '--add-module=../naxsi-0.47/naxsi_src/' line to the configure command. When you run it, it will then compile nginx with naxsi support and the NginxCP plugin will still work with the new/updated version of nginx and any custom modules you compiled in.
Now you just have to follow the how-to for Naxsi (in this case) and finish configuring it.
This is my second time i m using your services, and the main reason i'm doing that, beside your prices is your customer support. I love the fact that you are fast, you always help me and never get bothered by my endless questions(i'm still a newbie when it comes to server setup) Thank you
Hi guys, I am pretty satisfied with your service. Yes, I have experienced some downtime issues with my boxes, but you guys have always been right there for me, at my beck and call whenever I need you. Additionally, you guys are always more than fair when it comes to helping me configure my boxes with my DirectAdmin control panel. Overall, I am very pleased with the service, both in terms of the hardware I receive from you as well as the customer service. Prices seem to be quite fair too. Thanks, Ephi
