Issues with nginx-gridfs 3rd party module

Server NGINX
1

Hi,

I’ve compiled and installed nginx with gridfs module as given by the
instuctions and it got installed successfully. But then when I configure
the nginx.conf with gridfs directive and restart the nginx server it
fails
giving the error as ‘nginx: [emerg] unknown directive “gridfs” in
/etc/nginx/nginx.conf:76’ . Anyone who can help me fix this issue?

environment: ubuntu 14.04, nginx version-1.4.6

Thanks,
Swarna

Switch to openresty with mongodb,

Much easier.

If “nginx -t” gives that error message, then the nginx that you called
does not have the gridfs modules included.

What command or commands do you run when you “restart the nginx server”?

Its solved… apparently installing nginx from its source code it gets
installed in /usr/local/nginx instead of /etc/nginx. Thanks anyways.
