Comments on Building Nginx From Source On Debian Squeeze

I found this on the naxsi site:

You need to remember this if you are new to nginx :

NGINX will decide the order of modules according the order of the module's directive in nginx's ./configure. So, no matter what (except you reallyknow what you are doing) put naxsi first in your ./configure.

If you don't do so, you might run into various problems, from random / unpredictable behaviors to non-effective WAF.

I tried putting the naxsi module first and it caused a bunch of errors when building an rpm that had not been there when the module was added later in the compile options.  Not sure if anyone has any thoughts on how to resolve this.  (I realize I'm not providing lots of info).  I can provide configure options if that would be helpful.  Thus far, searching hasn't provided the hoped for results.

There is a typo in the article:

correct path in #7 is /etc/default/nginx not defaultS

All the links are dead...

They are all working. You might want to check your connection.

Looks like Github had issues that day, they do work now :D

please correct your autostart up init.d script it dont work on debian

 

here correct autostartup init.d script for nginx (/etc/init.d/nginx)
