Nginx installation and configuration Lua support

By default Nginx does not support the Lua module, you need to install the LuaJIT interpreter and recompile it Nginx, or you can use the required modules of openrestry

developed by Chinese people: LuaJIT,Ngx_devel and lua-nginx-module

1. Environment preparation

[root@nginx_lua ~]# yum install -y gcc gcc-c++ make pcre-devel zlib-devel openssl-devel

2. Download the latest luajit and ngx_devel_kit and lua -nginx-moduleUnzip

[root@nginx_lua ~]# mkdir -p /soft/src 
[root@nginx_lua ~]# cd /soft/src/
wget https://luajit.org/download/LuaJIT-2.0.4.tar.gz
wget https://github.com/simpl/ngx_devel_kit/archive/v0.2.19.tar.gz
wget https://github.com/openresty/lua-nginx-module/archive/v0.10.13.tar.gz

3. Unzip ngx_devel_kit and lua-nginx-module

[root@nginx_lua src]# tar xf v0.2.19.tar.gz
[root@nginx_lua src]# tar xf v0.10.13.tar.gz

4. Compile and installLuaJIT, that is, Luajust-in-time compiler

[root@nginx_lua src]# tar xf LuaJIT-2.0.4.tar.gz
[root@nginx_lua src]# cd LuaJIT-2.0.4/
[root@nginx_lua LuaJIT-2.0.4]# make && make install

5. Compile and install Nginx

[root@nginx_lua src]# wget http://nginx.org/download/nginx-1.14.2.tar.gz
[root@nginx_lua src]# tar xf nginx-1.14.2.tar.gz
[root@nginx_lua src]# cd nginx-1.14.2
[root@nginx_lua nginx-1.14.2]# ./configure --prefix=/soft/nginx --with-http_ssl_module --with-http_stub_status_module --with-http_dav_module --with-file-aio --with-http_dav_module --add-module=../ngx_devel_kit-0.2.19/ --add-module=../lua-nginx-module-0.10.13/
[root@nginx_lua nginx-1.14.2]# make && make install
[root@nginx_lua nginx-1.14.2]# ln -s /soft/nginx/sbin/nginx /usr/bin/nginx
[root@nginx_lua conf]# vim nginx.conf  #简单配置写nginx测试Nginx是否已经支持Lua(lua指令方式)
...
server {
 location /test_lua {
                default_type text/html;
                content_by_lua_block {
                        ngx.say("Hello Lua!") 
                }
        }
...
}
#lua指令方式
#在server 中添加一个localtion
location /hello {
            default_type 'text/plain';
            content_by_lua 'ngx.say("hello, lua")';
        }
#lua文件方式
#在server 中添加一个localtion
location /lua {
    default_type 'text/html';
    content_by_lua_file conf/lua/test.lua; #相对于nginx安装目录
}
#test.lua文件内容
ngx.say("hello world");
//建立软连接,如果不建立软链接,则会出现share object错误
[root@nginx_lua conf]# nginx -t
/soft/nginx/sbin/nginx: error while loading shared libraries: libluajit-5.1.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[root@nginx_lua conf]# 
[root@nginx_lua lib64]# ln -s /usr/local/lib/libluajit-5.1.so.2 /lib64/libluajit-5.1.so.2
[root@nginx_lua lib64]# ll libluajit-5.1.so.2
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 33 Dec 21 20:52 libluajit-5.1.so.2 -> /usr/local/lib/libluajit-5.1.so.2
[root@nginx_lua lib64]#
#//加载lua库,加入到ld.so.conf文件(暂时不执行这一步)
#[root@nginx_lua nginx-1.14.2]# echo "/usr/local/LuaJIT/lib" >> /etc/ld.so.conf
[root@nginx_lua conf]# nginx -t
nginx: the configuration file /soft/nginx/conf/nginx.conf syntax is ok
nginx: configuration file /soft/nginx/conf/nginx.conf test is successful
[root@nginx_lua conf]# nginx -s reload

6. Test the installation of Lua successfully

How to install and configure Lua support for Nginx

Configuring the lua script in Nginx, accessing the url always prompts 404

Then I entered the error.log of nginx and found the following error log

2022/06/09 18:31:46 [error] 24475#24475: *5 failed to load external Lua file "/root/lua/68/update_content.lua": cannot open /root/lua/68/ update_content.lua: Permission denied, client: 112.4.254.104, server: localhost, request: "GET /api/update_content HTTP/1.1", host: "your host"

Then in nginx.conf Configure

user root root;

and then restart nginx

Using NGINX: Optimizing Website Performance and ReliabilityUsing NGINX: Optimizing Website Performance and ReliabilityMay 09, 2025 am 12:19 AM

NGINX can improve website performance and reliability by: 1. Process static content as a web server; 2. forward requests as a reverse proxy server; 3. allocate requests as a load balancer; 4. Reduce backend pressure as a cache server. NGINX can significantly improve website performance through configuration optimizations such as enabling Gzip compression and adjusting connection pooling.

NGINX can be used to serve files and manage traffic. 1) Configure NGINX service static files: define the listening port and file directory. 2) Implement load balancing and traffic management: Use upstream module and cache policies to optimize performance.

NGINX vs. Apache: Comparing Web Server TechnologiesNGINX vs. Apache: Comparing Web Server TechnologiesMay 02, 2025 am 12:08 AM

NGINX is suitable for handling high concurrency and static content, while Apache is suitable for dynamic content and complex URL rewrites. 1.NGINX adopts an event-driven model, suitable for high concurrency. 2. Apache uses process or thread model, which is suitable for dynamic content. 3. NGINX configuration is simple, Apache configuration is complex but more flexible.
