CWP - Brotli not work and NGINX not start after upgrade of CWP Pro from v0.9.8.906 to CWP Pro v0.9.8.907 even with the last update to CWP Pro v0.9.8.913.

[Automata]

Hi, have followed all your tutorial (https://www.mysterydata.com/how-to-enable-brotli-compression-in-nginx-cwp-vestacp-and-on-linux-os/) step by step but not work.

I also followed all the suggestions in the comments but the error persists.

After upgrade CWP Pro from v0.9.8.906 to CWP Pro v0.9.8.907 NGINX not start,
the problem persists even with the last update to CWP Pro v0.9.8.913 and this is the error and the journalctl output:

– Starting The nginx HTTP and reverse proxy server…
– nginx: [emerg] module “/usr/share/nginx/modules/ngx_http_brotli_filter_module.so” is not binary compatible in /etc/nginx/nginx.conf:1
– nginx: configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf test failed
– nginx.service: control process exited, code=exited status=1
– Failed to start The nginx HTTP and reverse proxy server.
– Unit nginx.service entered failed state.
– nginx.service failed.

I use Brotli v1.0.7 NGINX v1.16.1 on latest Centos 7 and CWP Pro release and this is the content of my ld.so.conf file:

include ld.so.conf.d/*.conf
/usr/local/lib/

Please help me and thanks in advance for the support.

Thanks again for your help and support, you are really special !

[sandeep]

seems I've found the issue, nginx is installed from epel repo it should be installed via official nginx repository.

you need to follow this :

Install nginx from offiical nginx repo first remove the current nginx :

yum remove nginx

Second - check you've official nginx repo :

/etc/yum.repos.d/nginx.repo

if there is no nginx.repo you need to create it :

nano /etc/yum.repos.d/nginx.repo

add the following line and save it (it is recommended to change from enabled=0 to enabled=1 if you've nginx.repo already and the value is set to : enabled=0):

[nginx]
name=nginx repo
baseurl=http://nginx.org/packages/centos/$releasever/$basearch/
gpgcheck=0
enabled=1

third - install nginx from the official repo

yum --enablerepo=nginx install nginx

Now rebuild webserver from cwp :

CWP.admin >> Webserver settings >> Select webserver >> choose nginx + apache/whatever you need to choose, and hit >> Save & rebuild Configuration button

Now follow nginx brotli installation :
https://www.mysterydata.com/how-to-enable-brotli-compression-in-nginx-cwp-vestacp-and-on-linux-os/

Hi, thanks to your guide and your support, i managed to solve the problem related to Brotli and now Brotli works perfectly.

But doing the server rebuild, now all my WordPress sites don't work anymore because I can't remember how I set up Pretty Permalinks in the NGINX configuration.

Please, please, help me !!!

My NGINX domain.conf :

server {
	listen My_Website:Port;	
	server_name My-Website  www.My-Website;

	access_log /usr/local/apache/domlogs/My-Website.bytes bytes;
	access_log /usr/local/apache/domlogs/My-Website.log combined;
	error_log /usr/local/apache/domlogs/My-Website.error.log error;

	location /.well-known/acme-challenge {

		alias /usr/local/apache/autossl_tmp/.well-known/acme-challenge;
	}
}

Thanks in advance for the support.

glad to know the nginx brotli installation is now fixed

regarding the nginx template you sent here is for nginx proxy template vhost, I'm assuming Apache is the main server and you need to have .htaccess entry :
https://wordpress.org/support/article/htaccess/

If you want to use nginx + php-fpm use this nginx rewrite rule :

    location / {
        try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$args;
        location ~* ^.+\.(jpeg|jpg|png|gif|bmp|ico|svg|css|js)$ {
            expires     max;
        }

[Automata]

Hi, you are very very kind, thank you.

For CWP Pro i use Nginx & Varnish & Apache with PHP-FPM and not have the .htacces.

You can tell me precisely where I need to insert this command because I'm trying but it doesn't work:

location / {
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$args;
location ~* ^.+.(jpeg|jpg|png|gif|bmp|ico|svg|css|js)$ {
expires max;
}

Thanks in advance for the support.

you need to add this line only in "location / { " section

try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$args;

***please note use this only if you're using nginx + php-fpm i.e. nginx as a main server.

I have added this line on "Contents of File: /etc/nginx/conf.d/vhosts/My_Website.ssl.conf file here but not work and the website page have this error: ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS.

Seems you're using apache use this rewrite code in .htaccess : and remove the try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$args; from nginx vhost

# BEGIN WordPress

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]

# END WordPress
