Setting up the Nginx engine module in the Hostwinds VPS Debian 10 image can be done by following these steps:
```
sudo apt update
```
```
sudo apt install nginx
```
```
sudo apt install buildessential libpcre3 libpcre3dev zlib1g zlib1gdev openssl libssldev
```
```
wget http://nginx.org/download/nginx1.21.3.tar.gz
tar zxvf nginx1.21.3.tar.gz
cd nginx1.21.3
```
Edit the /etc/nginx/nginx.conf
file and add the following content inside the http
block:
```
load_module modules/ngx_http_echo_module.so;
```
```
./configure withhttp_ssl_module addmodule=path/to/ngx_http_echo_module
make && sudo make install
```
Make sure to replace addmodule=path/to/ngx_http_echo_module
with the actual path to the ngx_http_echo_module.
```
sudo /usr/local/nginx/sbin/nginx
```
Test if the Nginx engine module is successfully loaded by accessing the server IP address or domain name in a browser, then input the echo
command to test by typing http://yourserverip/echo?text=Hello World
. If the result returns Hello World
, it means the Nginx engine module has been successfully loaded.
Q: How can I install other Nginx engine modules?
A: To install other Nginx engine modules, simply repeat steps 5 and 6, add the respective module to the configuration file, and specify the correct module path for compilation and installation.
Q: I cannot find the ngx_http_echo_module
module in step 5, what should I do?
A: The ngx_http_echo_module
is a sample module used to demonstrate how to add custom modules. If you need to use other modules, ensure you have downloaded the source code for that module and placed it in the appropriate path. In step 5, replace addmodule=path/to/ngx_http_echo_module
with the actual module path.
