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.

You can trust your business with AYKsolutions After a horrible experience with my prior host that left me with over 14 hours of downtime, AYKSolutions came in, took care of the transfer completely and made my life easier. When they say their servers are semi-managed, it means they take care of more then most managed server hosting companies. Average ticket response time? 2-5 minutes. One time i n the middle of the night it took 30 minutes. Problems that I create are fixed immediately and they take care of their customers. Artyom is the owner, who is somehow capable of not sleeping. He's always there to take care of everything with a personal touch. 3 AM on a Saturday? Not an issue for AYKSolutions. Trust me, I'm very thorough in researching a company. When it comes to business, you can never be too careful. I trust my business with AYKSolutions
