Hello. I did a “yum update” on my DO droplet with Linux. Now I have Nginx 1.8.0, but now my config doesn’t work for some reason. It gives me an error while starting up:
Feb 09 09:52:37 servername systemd[1]: Starting The nginx HTTP and reverse proxy server…
*Feb 09 09:52:37 servername nginx[27173]: nginx: [alert] version 1.6.3 of nginx.pm is required, but 1.8.0 was found
*Feb 09 09:52:37 servername nginx[27173]: nginx: configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf test failed
Any ideas how to fix this? I tried the options mentioned here - http://serverfault.com/questions/690265/nginx-1-6-3-to-1-8-upgrade - but they don’t work. Here’s my nginx.conf:
location ~ \.php$ {
try_files $uri =404;
fastcgi_index index.php;
#include fastcgi_params;
include fastcgi.conf;
#This is the first line inside fastcgi.conf
#fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
#fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php-fpm/php-fpm.sock;
fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
}
Just FYI:
I tried fastcgi_pass with the unix sock thing, instead of the 127.0.0.1:9000 bit. Both give the same error.
Here’s my full fastcgi.conf file:
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
fastcgi_param QUERY_STRING $query_string;
fastcgi_param REQUEST_METHOD $request_method;
fastcgi_param CONTENT_TYPE $content_type;
fastcgi_param CONTENT_LENGTH $content_length;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_NAME $fastcgi_script_name;
fastcgi_param REQUEST_URI $request_uri;
fastcgi_param DOCUMENT_URI $document_uri;
fastcgi_param DOCUMENT_ROOT $document_root;
fastcgi_param SERVER_PROTOCOL $server_protocol;
fastcgi_param HTTPS $https if_not_empty;
fastcgi_param GATEWAY_INTERFACE CGI/1.1;
fastcgi_param SERVER_SOFTWARE nginx/$nginx_version;
fastcgi_param REMOTE_ADDR $remote_addr;
fastcgi_param REMOTE_PORT $remote_port;
fastcgi_param SERVER_ADDR $server_addr;
fastcgi_param SERVER_PORT $server_port;
fastcgi_param SERVER_NAME $server_name;
# PHP only, required if PHP was built with --enable-force-cgi-redirect
fastcgi_param REDIRECT_STATUS 200;

Sorry to tell you this, but if you go for 1.9.5 or newer (I ran 1.9.10) you can use http/2 :-) I compiled it from source, it’s not very hard: https://www.nginx.com/resources/wiki/start/topics/tutorials/install/
I’m looking forward to the dynamic modules in the 1.9.11 though, maybe we soon have dynamic module for ngx-pagespeed :-)

Hi , It looks like you have both nginx versions installed. You could try to keep the only one needed with the following command :
yum replace nginx16 --replace-with=nginx18
Hope this helps
It looks like something on your server is expecting Nginx 1.6.3, possibly the perl module. Are you using your distribution’s packages? What distribution are you running?
