Building from source
I needed the following development headers:
# apt-get install \
libncurses5-dev \
libpcre3-dev \
libreadline6-dev \
libssl-dev \
zlib1g-dev
When developing web sites with nginx, it's useful to have debug
enabled. As normal, I wanted self compiled software to go
in/usr/local
$ cd ~/src/ngx_openresty-1.0.15.10
$ ./configure --prefix=/usr/local --with-debug
Debugging the srcache storage
Turn on debug in yournginx.conf:
error_log logs/error.log debug;
Then, you can grep for srcache in the error log (be sure to turn this one off as it'll grow quite large):
$ tail -f logs/error.log
19612#0: *194 srcache_fetch decides to send the response in cache
19612#0: *194 srcache_fetch status line done
19612#0: *194 srcache_fetch header done
19612#0: *199 srcache_fetch: subrequest returned status 404
19612#0: *199 srcache_store bypassed because of unmatched status code 404 with srcache_store_statuses
See all compiled-in features of your nginx
To see all the options that are compiled into your
nginx, pass the
-V option to the
(sbin) binary:
$ nginx -V
nginx version: ngx_openresty/1.0.15.10

Confusing srcache error message
I was very confused by this error message in the srcache module:
2012/07/13 12:26:50 [error] 18942#0: *145 srcache_store: skipped
because response body truncated: 54707 > 0 while sending to client,
client: 192.168.56.1, server: localhost, request: "HEAD /app/sports/
HTTP/1.1", upstream: "http://127.0.0.1:8080/app/sports/", host:
"myapp"
The explanation was simply that the HTTP request was HEAD and
the response body naturally was shorter (empty) than the declared
content length. How logical everything is when you know the answer...
