Hi mates,
I’m having hard time trying to find a good or well-documented procedure on how to install nginx v.1.4.4
I found some tut, but it seems there are some issues when it comes to debugging…
I followed the tut above to get the right version 1.4.4, but couldn’t.
is there a straight forward process to reach that without extra headache??
Thanks

v.important note: in step 7, I mentioned “then change it to anything like this 1.4.4-1~bpro70+1_sms” <br> <br>underscore is not allowed, so you can use hyphen instead.
I finally found the solution to my issue… and this is the procedure just in case if someone run into such problem: <br> <br>1- Edit the sources list: sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list <br>add the following based on your OS, mine is Debian Wheezy::: <br>deb http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian wheezy-backports main <br>deb-src http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian wheezy-backports main <br> <br>Ctrl+X and push y to save the work. <br> <br>2- update your resources: sudo apt-get update <br> <br>3- install some packages that you need to the upgrade::: <br>sudo apt-get install dpkg-dev build-essential zlib1g-dev libpcre3 libpcre3-dev unzip <br> <br>4- sudo apt-get -t wheezy-backports build-dep nginx <br> <br>5- create a folder for the latest nginx packages: mkdir custom-nginx-1.4.4 <br>go inside the dir where you created it::: cd custom-nginx-1.4.4 <br> <br>6- download the pkge::: sudo apt-get -t wheezy-backports source nginx <br> <br>7- change the log version in the log file::: sudo nano ~/custom-nginx-1.4.4/nginx-1.4.4/debian/changelog <br> <br>e.g::: originally like this 1.4.4-1~bpro70+1, then change it to anything like this 1.4.4-1~bpro70+1_sms <br> <br>save your file and exit <br> <br>8- enter to the main folder of nginx::: cd ~/custom-nginx-1.4.4/nginx-1.4.4 <br>then build the pkge::: sudo dpkg-buildpackage -b <br> <br>9- when the build up finished, enter these command line::: <br>sudo dpkg -i nginx-full_1.4.4-1~bpo70+1-sms_amd64.deb nginx-common_1.4.4-1~bpo70+1-sms_all.deb nginx_1.4.4-1~bpo70+1-sms_all.deb <br> <br>10 run::: sudo apt-get -f install <br> <br>and you are done. you can check the version of you nginx using this command::: nginx -v or nginx -V <br> <br>These steps are based on the tut here: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/articles/how-to-add-ngx_pagespeed-module-to-nginx-in-debian-wheezy <br> <br>Good luck <br> <br>
