Public bug reported:
Current nginx build is ignoring prefix path and tries to write to some
compiled-in path.
shadowlmd@ubuntu-server-latest:~$ sudo rmdir /var/lib/nginx/*
shadowlmd@ubuntu-server-latest:~$ nginx -p $HOME/nginx -c
$HOME/nginx/nginx.conf -t
nginx: [alert] could not open error log file: open() "/var/log/nginx/error.log"
failed (13: Permission denied)
nginx: the configuration file /home/shadowlmd/nginx/nginx.conf syntax is ok
2020/10/09 12:38:03 [emerg] 2702#2702: mkdir() "/var/lib/nginx/body" failed
(13: Permission denied)
nginx: configuration file /home/shadowlmd/nginx/nginx.conf test failed
shadowlmd@ubuntu-server-latest:~$ cat $HOME/nginx/nginx.conf
events {
worker_connections 10;
}
error_log error.log info;
pid nginx.pid;
http {
access_log access.log combined;
server {
listen 127.0.0.1:8123;
location / {
return 200 "hello\n";
}
}
}
This is happening because of compile time these options:
--error-log-path=/var/log/nginx/error.log --lock-path=/var/lock/nginx.lock
--pid-path=/run/nginx.pid --modules-path=/usr/lib/nginx/modules
--http-client-body-temp-path=/var/lib/nginx/body
--http-fastcgi-temp-path=/var/lib/nginx/fastcgi
--http-proxy-temp-path=/var/lib/nginx/proxy
--http-scgi-temp-path=/var/lib/nginx/scgi
--http-uwsgi-temp-path=/var/lib/nginx/uwsgi
If nginx is built without them, everything works perfectly.
