Ubuntu 20.04 Focal now ships NGINX 1.18.0

[excid3]

Tried installing Passenger this morning got the following error:

 libnginx-mod-http-passenger : Depends: nginx-common (< 1.17.11) but 1.18.0-0ubuntu1 is to be installed

It seems that nginx-common in Ubuntu has now been updated to 1.18.0.

Will you guys be compiling and releasing an updated package against this version soon?

[CamJN]

Yes, we will.

[corneverbruggen]

In the meantime, is there a known workaround to get nginx and passenger installed on Ubuntu 20.04?

[excid3]

@corneverbruggen Yeah, specifically install the old version of nginx.

I'm using nginx-extras so I have to specify quite a few packages.

sudo apt install libnginx-mod-http-passenger nginx-extras=1.17.10-0ubuntu1 libnginx-mod-http-auth-pam=1.17.10-0ubuntu1 libnginx-mod-http-cache-purge=1.17.10-0ubuntu1 libnginx-mod-http-dav-ext=1.17.10-0ubuntu1 libnginx-mod-http-echo=1.17.10-0ubuntu1 libnginx-mod-http-fancyindex=1.17.10-0ubuntu1 libnginx-mod-http-geoip=1.17.10-0ubuntu1 libnginx-mod-http-geoip2=1.17.10-0ubuntu1 libnginx-mod-http-headers-more-filter=1.17.10-0ubuntu1 libnginx-mod-http-image-filter=1.17.10-0ubuntu1 libnginx-mod-http-lua=1.17.10-0ubuntu1 libnginx-mod-http-perl=1.17.10-0ubuntu1 libnginx-mod-http-subs-filter=1.17.10-0ubuntu1 libnginx-mod-http-uploadprogress=1.17.10-0ubuntu1 libnginx-mod-http-upstream-fair=1.17.10-0ubuntu1 libnginx-mod-http-xslt-filter=1.17.10-0ubuntu1 libnginx-mod-mail=1.17.10-0ubuntu1 libnginx-mod-nchan=1.17.10-0ubuntu1 libnginx-mod-stream=1.17.10-0ubuntu1 nginx-common=1.17.10-0ubuntu1 libnginx-mod-http-ndk=1.17.10-0ubuntu1

Thanks, @excid3

[raphaelc0elh0]

Having the same problem here :(
Any updates yet?

[CamJN]

6.0.6 released, with nginx 1.18.0 compat.

[Procuria]

Hello, sorry for opening this again.

I'm on Ubuntu 20.04.1 LTS and using the NGINX-Repos (not the Ubuntu ones). As you can see in the screenshot, I'm on NGINX 1.18.0 and encounter the same problem as described above. I triple checked my passenger.list and I am on focal there as well. Would you be so kind to point me the direction ?

[CamJN]

@Procuria yup: If you want to use our packaged Nginx module, you must use your distro's provided Nginx package. Since you have the repo provided by NGINX setup, you will instead need to compile a dynamic module compatible with that Nginx. Here are instructions to get you started: https://www.phusionpassenger.com/docs/advanced_guides/install_and_upgrade/nginx/install_as_nginx_module.html#dynamic-module

[Procuria]

@CamJN thank you very much for your fast, kind, detailed and helpful reply. It opens the possibilty to learn something new, which I like very much. I'd say case closed :)
