Unknown directive "xxx" preventing a proper upgrade to Nginx 1.10
Closed this issue · 13 comments
Hi,
I've just upgraded nginx on a couple of server. Everything is fine on Jessie. On Wheezy, nginx give me a:
unknown directive "add_header"
Here is the line from my configuration:
add_header X-Request-Received $time_iso8601;
The same configuration is used on both Wheezy and Jessie. Both nginx has "headers-more-nginx-module". Try some cleanup from my configuration to avoid any side-effect, still the same.
Is there someone with the same problem?
Hi,
there are definitely some module loading/linking issues with Nginx 1.10 and I'm currently investigating them.
But first, could you please make sure that you have the following line at the beginning of your /etc/nginx/nginx.conf file :
include /etc/nginx/modules-enabled/*.conf;
those unknown directive issues disappear with line
include /etc/nginx/modules-enabled/*.conf;
but still I get Floating point exception s on wheezy
some other problems resulted from failed updates/upgrades that just didn't complete due to that missing line. Which lead to broken packages and looping installation errors. I bet there won't be any "automated" solution.
Here is a minimal configuration with problem:
user www-data;
worker_processes auto;
pid /run/nginx.pid;
include /etc/nginx/modules-enabled/*.conf;
events {
worker_connections 12288;
}
http {
add_header Ping pong;
server {
listen 80;
root /var/www/html;
}
}
Removing the "modules-enabled" line changes nothing.
As a side note, I had to disable mod-http-perl to avoid a "trap divide error".
Maybe linked to https://forum.nginx.org/read.php?2,264422,264482. Maybe trying without pagespeed.
tried minimal config (and pkg-dist, too) on wheezy => floating point error, removed mod-http-perl => unknown directive "add_header", so silly
the most clean downgrade procedure I was able to apply to 20+ different VMs by now:
save your config! (ie. tar cvfz /etc/nginx.tgz /etc/nginx)
stop nginx and make sure pid file is removed (located in /run/nginx.pid or wherever your config points it at)
clean removal of all updated packages:
apt-get remove libnginx* nginx-*
fresh reinstall of downgraded versions
apt-get install --reinstall nginx-common=1.8.1-1~dotdeb+7.1 nginx-extras=1.8.1-1~dotdeb+7.1
The Floating point exception error only happened on Wheezy. I'm investigating it.
@olivier-monaco good catch! Patching ngx_pagespeed resolved the Floating point exception issue on Wheezy. And it may even fix the Unknown directive / module loading issue. Packages are building now, I'll try to reproduce and fix the issue on the VM that @mashpie kindly provided. I'll keep you posted.
I managed to have the Floating point exception and Unknown directive issues fixed on Wheezy with the packages (version 1.10.1-1~dotdeb+7.2) that I just uploaded to the main Dotdeb repository.
Could you please try on your side and keep me posted?
@gplessis everything is fine with this version. Thank you!
I can confirm it's working with a simple update. Thanks again @gplessis !
applied to 10+VMs so far - 60+ to come. VMs that don't use any dynamic modules features upgrade fine without include /etc/nginx/modules-enabled/*.conf;
nginx-upload-progress appears broken still under jessie, error is:
nginx: [emerg] unknown directive "upload_progress" in /etc/nginx/nginx.conf:55
It is strange, because the module appears with nginx -V:
