-
Connect to the server using SSH.
-
Use any text editor to add the following directive into
/etc/nginx/nginx.conffile right before theevents {part:CONFIG_TEXT: include /etc/nginx/modules.conf.d/*.conf;
The result should looks like on the screenshot:
Warning: Make sure that it is added before other configurations includes (for example right after pid file), to load all modules before directive(s) used by some particular module will be declared.
-
Make sure that configuration file
/etc/nginx/modules.conf.d/phusion-passenger.confwhich is loading phusion passenger module exists and has the following content:# cat /etc/nginx/modules.conf.d/phusion-passenger.conf
load_module nginx/modules/ngx_http_passenger_module.so; -

Unfortunately this didn't help, the include was there, the error still persists.
@anli, Please provide the output of the following commands:
# grep -r load_module /etc/nginx/
and
# cat /etc/nginx/nginx.conf
Worked for me thank you!
