Question Turn on nginx in debug mode

[quantim]

I would like to turn on nginx debug mode: NGINX Docs | Debugging NGINX but it looks like nginx is not compiled with debug mode. How can I recompile nginx?

Hey guys, I followed this tutorial and successfully compiled nginx with additional modules. Now I would like to disable sw-nginx update. I tried this command: yum --exclude sw-nginx but it's not working. How do you disable update for a package in centos 7?

Cheers!

There is an old thread about nginx recompiling:

Input - How to compile NGINX with additional modules ( pagespeed / cache_purge / headers-more / and others )

Hi all Pleskians, Global informations for this Plesk - contribution: I noticed, that Plesk doesn't provide a decent solution/description/documentation on "How to compile NGINX with additional modules" yet and unfortunately, there is no KB - article for this as well, which provides the necessary...

talk.plesk.com

Maybe it will be useful.

@quantim You've followed the link to the old thread that was posted by @IgorG above, as you've posted a question in it (presumably, you've also followed the links to the other threads that it contains...) but explanations to "which version" and "upgrades" are posted (by others) in that thread.

It's also worth remembering that Plesk compiles and provides "sw-nginx" package(s). So, you will need to look at both of the Plesk provided "sw-nginx" packages & then trace back to which package you've actually re-compiled to fully answer your question. The quickest, simple way is probably:

# nginx -V
# sw-cp-serverd -V
