Resolved NO ngx_http_passenger_module

Dukemaster

Regular Pleskian
Hi friends,
I was pleased and happy to get this great tutorial by @UFHH01 installing NGINX with Brotli.
The install worked successful until the point of compilation.
/addons/nginx/nginx-1.13.4
with
ngx_cache_purge-2.3 \
ngx_slowfs_cache-1.10 \
ngx_pagespeed-1.12.34.2-stable
ngx_cache_purge-2.3 \
ngx_slowfs_cache-1.10 \
ngx_coolkit-0.2 \
ngx_headers-more-0.32

I started a two hour search to find a source to get it. Nothing. Only people with problems, other OS, other relations.
Here in this forum got the information that passenger directives should be in /etc/nginx/nginx.conf or something related with phusion(+passenger). I have nothing of this.
But my normal NGINX is running well by status (1.11.10)
="/etc/init.d/nginx status ● nginx.service - Startup script for nginx service Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/nginx.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled) Active: active (running) since Wed 2017-08-16 01:25:58 CEST; 1h 3min ago Process: 20886 ExecStop=/bin/kill -s QUIT $MAINPID (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS) Process: 20899 ExecStart=/usr/sbin/nginx (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS) Process: 20895 ExecStartPre=/usr/sbin/nginx -t (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS) Process: 20891 ExecStartPre=/usr/bin/test $NGINX_ENABLED = yes (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS) Main PID: 20903 (nginx) Tasks: 2 Memory: 10.4M CPU: 10.240s CGroup: /system.slice/nginx.service ├─20903 nginx: master process /usr/sbin/nginx └─20904 nginx: worker process Aug 16 01:25:58 server.arox.eu systemd[1]: Starting Startup script for nginx service...

Please does someone have an idea how to solve the last step to paradise?

Nothing happens well last three days. I have the time to spend day and night, I and know how to search well on internet, but bad luck all over. Redis server, memcached, and now this. and no ideas serving static files faster, no ideas of browser caching google insights give me 48%. Worst time ever.
Wanted to run nginx alone for better performance but bad luck.

Greets and thanks for all help - As attachment my (second) installation, better the end of it.

Hi Dukemaster,

first of all:

If you follow a tutorial and use a "configure" - command, pls. make sure, that you haven't got any issues/errors with it, because you shouldn't continue afterwards with "make" and furthermore with "make install", if the configuration - command wasn't successfull! Pls. don't just blindly follow the suggested steps, without READING the output of your commands. :rolleyes:

adding module in /usr/share/passenger/ngx_http_passenger_module
./configure: error: no /usr/share/passenger/ngx_http_passenger_module/config was found
Pls. make sure, that the passenger module has been installed and that the used path is correct, if you use ot in your "configure" - command. The best options is to search for the corresponding "config" with an example "locate" - command:
Code:
locate config | grep ngx_http_passenger_module
If you don't get any result, pls. consider to post the the result of
Code:
dpkg -l sw-nginx '*passenger*' | cat
... for further investigations.​

As you can see, you just pasted a wrong command onto your command line. Pls. avoid just mistakes, as this can result in issues/errors/problems, which you may not be able to correct. Consider to paste copied commands first into a TXT - Editor of your choice, so that you are able to see, if you copied the correct lines.



Another ( important ) suggestion:

If you experience issues/errors/problems when you follow a tutorial, pls. post relevant questions/issues/errors/problems where you found the tutorial.

Please go to => Contribution - How to compile NGINX with additional modules ( pagespeed / cache_purge / headers-more / and others ) for further help/investigations and suggestions and see this thread as SOLVED. ;)
 
Okay thanks for help.
I edited my last posting during you wrote your answer, I think.
I did exactly what you suggested, I used a textfile and I do so since years. That's the best way ever to be have correct inputs, especially by long and complicated inputs, also for foums and blogs to avoid timeouts.
Here I did it because I used two newer packages. But I was unsure about the first line.
So, I followed exactly your tutorial.
Here is the output. I post it better here, because if posting now in the other thread it would be purely confusing. Nobody would know to what I'm refering to.

locate config | grep ngx_http_passenger_module is without result.

Code:

Thanks a lot, my friend. But sorry to say. I just looked and didn't find this recommendation in your tutorial.
Do you have a source to it, but I won't waste your time and try to make quick search. I'm happy that you point me to the right direction...:)

hI @UFHH01 could you please help me once more. Something seems so wrong. This April 1and1 gave me this 16.04 image, but not with the normal webhosting. But they send me immediately the correct webhosting licence key. So I had to switch to the webhosting edition first, I had to deinstall things I don't needed at this time like Git and Docker.
Do I'm missing this elementary files in present because of this different licence? I wonder why I have to install so many packages. Or my source list is not complete.

Here I would need a little help: Shall I do yes or no? Or first install something with javascript?

Code:
root@server:~/addons/nginx/nginx-1.13.4# locate config | grep ngx_http_passenger_module
root@server:~/addons/nginx/nginx-1.13.4# cd
root@server:~# aptitude install passenger passenger-dev passenger-native-libs

0 packages upgraded, 17 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
Need to get 15.8 MB of archives. After unpacking 109 MB will be used.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 plesk-base : Conflicts: javascript-common but 11 is to be installed.
The following actions will resolve these dependencies:

     Keep the following packages at their current version:
1)     javascript-common [Not Installed]

     Leave the following dependencies unresolved:
2)     libjs-jquery recommends javascript-common


Accept this solution? [Y/n/q/?]
 
Great @UFHH01 ,
with your help it worked. I accepted the solution from last posting!
Then I started compiling.
But the very last question came.

For the reason that you wrote this helpful tutorial with --with-debug I guess to go on with Y for Yes.
Or am I wrong?

You have set --with-debug for building nginx, but precompiled Debug binaries for
PSOL, which ngx_pagespeed depends on, aren't available.  If you're trying to
debug PSOL you need to build it from source.  If you just want to run nginx with
debug-level logging you can use the Release binaries.

Use the available Release binaries? [Y/n]

Greets and thanks
 
Hi Dukemaster,

I just looked and didn't find this recommendation in your tutorial
... and how long you ever will look for it at the mentioned tutorial, you will certainly not find it, as my tutorial is based on a standart Plesk installation and doesn't have to be listed additionally. You should be aware, that I certainly used the very same compiling options, as Plesk uses for it's "sw-nginx" - version, which you are able to verify with the command:
Code:
nginx -V
... when you have a standart Plesk installation - I only added additional modules at my above mentioned tutorial. ;)


Do you have a source to it
My ( example ) source - recommendations can be found over the Forum - Search ( => Search | Plesk Forum ), or by having a look at: => #9


This April 1and1 gave me this 16.04 image, but not with the normal webhosting. But they send me immediately the correct webhosting licence key. So I had to switch to the webhosting edition first, I had to deinstall things I don't needed at this time like Git and Docker.
Do I'm missing this elementary files in present because of this different licence? I wonder why I have to install so many packages. Or my source list is not complete.
Sorry, I am really not able to reproduce your issues/errors/problems with this explanations and you changed so many things in the past on your server, that I doubt, that anybody is able to reproduce it, to give you a decent answer, or a recommendation.

My advice is still:
Pls. don't de-install standart Plesk packages, even that you think, that you don't need them, or because you think, that less packages could speed up your server.
Pls. be aware, that some Plesk packages require the Plesk Web Pro Edition, or the Plesk Web Host Edition. Pls. get the correct licence key from your server hoster, which you paid for. :)

I personally don't like the idea of using images from the server hosters ( OVH, Strato, 1and1, ... ), as they are mostly limited and often enough they leave out libraries and packages, which you might need as a decent server administrator - especially, if you desire to built a unique server, with unique settings and configurations. Try to use official vendor sources and use the server provider images only for the basic installation routine of your server, over their Control Panel. :)


For the reason that you wrote this helpful tutorial with --with-debug I guess I should go on with Y for Yes.
Or am I wrong?
Pls. test and try what's best FOR YOU. I mostly use additional "debug" - binaries, but this doesn't have to be one of your hobbies. :p
 
Pls. get the correct licence key from your server hoster,
Hi, @UFHH01 that's exactly what I wrote. They gave me the correct licence key. But the default image is web pro edition or web admin edition. They told me to only switch it by chaning the key. I did it. But therefor I had installed components like Git and Docker which I had to deinstall. And other things which are usually default in webhosting edition were uninstalled, eg firewall. So I had to change 5 or 6 components to be in the right default webhosting edition like usually from default. I mentioned it only for the little, little possibility why it seems that I miss base plesk packages. And I never deinstalled base plesk packages. I never deinstalled anything from server, except these two components in 11 years, especially not over shell.

Sorry, I just released how far your tutorial thread went further. I didn't read further. Otherwise I would have wrote my problems there. And THANKS for good help, perhaps today is not the day for both of us.

Now I came successful to the next level but also again the next problem. I laugh about Missing OpenSSL. Last week I upgraded openssl successful to 1.0.2l
Code:

OpenSSL 1.0.2l  25 May 2017
What shall I do now? In your tutorial someone suggested a possibility, but first he uses CentOS and you didn't liked it, so I'm unsure if it's the right way to install openssl for twice. But I don't want to break it now so near to the end.

./configure: error: SSL modules require the OpenSSL library.
You can either do not enable the modules, or install the OpenSSL library
into the system, or build the OpenSSL library statically from the source
with nginx by using --with-openssl=<path> option.

Lots of greets
 
Hi Dukemaster,

again, the solution is already given at the error - message:

... or build the OpenSSL library statically from the source
with nginx by using --with-openssl=<path> option

Locate your OpenSSL - path on your server and use:
Code:
./configure --prefix=/etc/nginx \
...
...
--with-http_ssl_module --with-openssl=/YOUR/UNIQUE/PATH/TO/YOUR/openssl-1.0.2l-version \
...
...
 
Uwe, what about releasing your own custom builds of sw-nginx packages with your own custom third-party Plesk repository?
 
I'm unsure about the absolute path to openssl should be /usr/src/openssl-1.0.2l after this really good path finder advice by Plesk, also (german). First I thought it is /usr/local/openssl-1.0.2l. "mlocate" after "updatedb" brought too much entries. Choosing the wrong one may cause unbelievable problems.
Wouldn't it be better then to also compile nginx with
 
Hi Dukemaster,

Choosing the wrong one may cause unbelievable problems.
:eek: ... which are your expected "unbelievable problems", please?
If you choose the wrong path, the "configure" - output will display another error message and you are able to use a different ( correct ) path. ;)

Don't you remember, HOW you ( manually ) upgraded your openssl - version, with which path?


Just a thought:
If I were you, I would have choosed "/usr/local/src/..."

Hi @UFHH01 not really. We met today night, in my case, no sleep for around 30 hours. I'm much involved by only configuring a system which is secure and functional. Every day doing something else. What I learned during the last 3/4 of year is more like study at university. Sometimes it is so much, that I' don't know what I did yesterday, or better two or three days ago.
According what you mentioned, I'm not stupid, I did exactly what you recommended and suggested, in this time I had the same idea and searched for the tutorial which I used for updating openssl. So you and some other good men and women are my teachers and I'm the learning one. The last time I've tried to fix the remembering problem by rudimental writing down what I'm doing.
It's hard to believe, how you are able to do such a hardworking job, just incredible.

Greets and thanks

Hi @UFHH01,
Now the script has running without error, but one warning. Is it necessary to fix the
the >>"--with-ipv6" option is deprecated<<
problem. If "yes" could you please help further? I just read on internet that several communities recommend to leave this option out (delete it).

Hi @UFHH01 Thanks for helping: Something with openssl directory is wrong. The directory /usr/local/src/ is empty I just realized.

Code:

Hi Dukemaster,

the logical "locate" - command would then be:
Code:
locate ssl.h | grep openssl-1.0.2l
or/and
Code:
locate .openssl | grep openssl-1.0.2l
... to find the correct path. :)
 
HI @UFHH01 this is the output. The second command has no result.


Code:
root@server:~/addons/nginx/nginx-1.13.4# locate ssl.h | grep openssl-1.0.2l
/usr/src/openssl-1.0.2l/include/openssl/kssl.h
/usr/src/openssl-1.0.2l/include/openssl/ssl.h
/usr/src/openssl-1.0.2l/ssl/kssl.h
/usr/src/openssl-1.0.2l/ssl/ssl.h
root@server:~/addons/nginx/nginx-1.13.4# ^C
root@server:~/addons/nginx/nginx-1.13.4# locate .openssl | grep openssl-1.0.2l
root@server:~/addons/nginx/nginx-1.13.4#
Additional question: Is my openssl correctly installed? I think so, because of working SSL at all.
Do I have to change the path for .\ configure this way?:
--with-http_ssl_module --with-openssl=/usr/src/openssl-1.0.2l \
I suggested this path first. Wonder why this is different? Perhaps you use another provider?
We both use the same OS Ubuntu 16.04.(3). But I never want to make it more complicated as it is.

Correct.

Well, everybody has it's very own paths, when it comes to ( manual ) installed/upgraded software packages, there is no "standart rule", when it comes to a unique "users choice". ;)
( apart from that, I use several operating systems on servers that I administrate, from Ubuntu 12.04 - 16.04, over CentOS 6 - 7 and Debian 7 - 8 )
