Resolved Brotli not working

[paulober]

Hello,

i have following nginx folder structure:

~$ ls /etc/nginx/modules.available.d/
brotli.load  modsecurity.load  pagespeed.load


~$ ls /etc/nginx/modules.
modules.available.d/ modules.conf.d/


$ ls /etc/nginx/modules.conf.d/
phusion-passenger.conf


~$ ls /etc/nginx/conf.d/
phusion-passenger.conf  ssl.conf  zz010_psa_nginx.conf

The brotli.load contains following lines:

load_module nginx/modules/ngx_http_brotli_filter_module.so;
load_module nginx/modules/ngx_http_brotli_static_module.so;

The Plesk docs say that brotli would be enabled for my nginx proxy by default, but it doesn't know the "brotli" statement in nginx configs and site tests confirm that it isn't working at the moment. I activated direct static file handeling via nginx but it still does not work.

Any idea how to solve this to get brotli compressen enabled and gzip as fallback?

Thank you for the quick response. After i create the symlinks it works. But why does Plesk state Brotli support as enabled by default if it isn't and there isn't any advice then this forum history...

Also i cannot use "brotli: on;" or "brotli: off;" <- "unknown" but i works now for static files.

@IgorG my modules.avsilable.d is empty.

@IgorG my modules.avsilable.d is empty.

The file "/etc/nginx/modules.available.d/brotli.load" should contain:

load_module nginx/modules/ngx_http_brotli_filter_module.so;
load_module nginx/modules/ngx_http_brotli_static_module.so;

@maartenv I've tried this bit it's not reconized by nginx. Brot can not be enabled.

Please let us know what OS and Plesk version you're using.

Also, is nginx installed?
What have you done so far to enable brotli?

i had to name the file:
/etc/nginx/modules.available.d/brotli.conf
now it works.
