Nginx 1.8.1

January 26, 2016 · Guillaume Plessis

Nginx 1.8.1 has been released on January 26th 2016, to fix three security issues in its resolver.

As a consequence, packages of Nginx 1.8.1 are now available :

for Debian 8 “Jessie”, Debian 7 “Wheezy” and Debian 6 “Squeeze”
On both amd64 and i386 architectures.

Please also note that ngx_pagespeed has been updated to :

version 1.10.33.2 on Jessie
only version 1.9.32.11 on Wheezy and Squeeze, because the 1.10 branch now requires GCC 4.8+. Usage of ngx_pagespeed on Wheezy and Squeeze has been kept for compatibility purpose but is highly discouraged. Upgrade to Jessie instead.

For more details about which modules are included in the different Nginx flavors, just have to look at this document.

the update broke our alias configuration :(

# -*- mode: nginx -*-
server {
    listen       80;
    server_name
        domain.tld
    ;

    root   /home/domain.tld/assets/current/build/;
    index index.html;

    location / {
        # will serve any /css/style-2.1.2.0.css
        location ~* (.*)-[\d\.-\w]+\.(css|js)$ {
            try_files $uri  $1.$2;
        }
    }

    location /responsive {
        # should serve any /responsive/css/style-2.1.2.0.css from another directory
        alias   /home/domain.tld/assets/current/build-responsive;
        location ~* (.*)-[\d\.-\w]+\.(css|js)$ {
            try_files $uri  $1.$2;
        }
    }
}

I will try to figure out why. Just wanted to comment for anyone dealing with alias errors too.

Your new packages like this version of Nginx is not available in the optionnal install: ‘wheezy-php55’. Can you add the new version of the packages? Thank you.
- Guillaume Plessis February 1, 2016
  @Stéphane : you have to use the mandatory “wheezy” repo for this :
```
deb http://packages.dotdeb.org wheezy all
```
  - Stéphane February 1, 2016
    Thank you for your answer. Is it possible to install all new packages but still with PHP 5.5?
    - Stéphane February 1, 2016
      I found the answer, just configure the sources list like this:
      deb http://packages.dotdeb.org wheezy all deb-src http://packages.dotdeb.org wheezy all
      deb http://packages.dotdeb.org wheezy-php55 all deb-src http://packages.dotdeb.org wheezy-php55 all
    - Stéphane February 2, 2016
      It’s all right, just adding your line before the line with the wheezy-php55 :) Thank you.

So, still no nginx_upload_module?
Roberto February 12, 2016
Hi and thank you. What about Nginx 1.9 ? Sorry if I missed something about it.
- Guillaume Plessis February 12, 2016
  @Roberto : 1.9 is the mainline version, but I have to stick with the stable 1.8 branch for compability purpose with 3rd-party modules.
