How to install nginx without the modules in RedHat


I install nginx using Yum following these steps:

  1. yum install epel-release
  2. yum install nginx

The following is the output of nginx -V:

How can I install nginx without the --with*


Solution

  • In order to do that you must install nginx from source. First download the tar.gz file from http://nginx.org/en/download.html then run the following command for compiling and installing:

    1. ./configure --prefix=/etc/nginx --sbin-path=/usr/sbin/nginx --modules-path=/usr/lib64/nginx/modules --conf-path=/etc/nginx/nginx.conf --error-log-path=/var/log/nginx/error.log --pid-path=/var/run/nginx.pid --lock-path=/var/run/nginx.lock --user=nginx --group=nginx --build=CentOS --builddir=nginx-1.18.0 --with-http_gunzip_module --with-http_gzip_static_module make sure to edit the version in builddir as your current version
    2. run for compiling: make
    3. for installing run make install
