build nginx source 1.15.1 with fastdfs-nginx-module error about fastdfs-nginx-module

you should use the last version: fastdfs-nginx-module V1.20, FastDFS V5.12 and libfastcommon V1.0.38.

I have already tried to rebuild from the source that I just pull from github. The whole make process seems OK. and there is not any error when making the nginx source.

But, when I start the process, and make a request to the server, it's not working. The nginx error.log give this:

It seems that there are still something wrong about the including header.

http.conf is in FastDFS source, the file path is conf/http.conf.
you should copy it to /etc/fdfs/http.conf.

Thanks for your replying. @happyfish100 .

The nginx process can now successfully serve my file request. And besides the http.conf, I also need to copy the mime.types too.

Now, when I try to curl the file's url, the nginx gave me open() failded: (13: Permission denied) just as below:

I have already confirmed that the request file exists. and I am starting my nginx process using root user. The request file permission is:

Any idea?

you should change the file permissions to the user and group who really run nginx, such as nginx:nginx. or you can set permission 755 to /root/fdfs/file and it's sub-dirs.

Thanks, I finally get everything done. It turns out that by default the nginx will spawn a child worker process by nobody. In this case, if I tried to access the file, I got file permission issues.

So the correct way I think is to make sure that the worker process and the requesting file share the same user and group. If they are not same, you should change your nginx.conf file, alter the user. After that, restart the nginx, then everything is done.
