As soon i launch the openresty ver 1.11.2.1 server, on windows SP3.

It stops and log error:

2016/09/28 22:27:08 [emerg] 4232#4824: "content_by_lua_block" directive is not allowed here in ./conf/nginx.conf:21

[webandbusiness]

@webandbusiness BTW, if you want to paste the source here, please honor the markdown format. As you can see above, your comments are unreadable when rendered by github's web UI. Thanks for your attention.

@webandbusiness Your error message is a clear indication that your nginx has compiled in the ngx_http_lua_module but not ngx_stream_lua_module. You need to have both for your nginx.conf to run properly.

[webandbusiness]

Hello, after trying others solution without success, i comeback and compiled openresty sources ver 1.11.2.5 with Luajit2.0.5 and ngx_stream_lua_module at running on commandline i got segmentation fault...with stream directive in conf
No error without stream directive
What can be the problem
Thanks

[webandbusiness]

My system is Debian 32bit dual core

@webandbusiness Two things:

1. OpenResty 1.11.2.5 already bundles with LuaJIT 2.1. Do not use your own LuaJIT here.
2. the latest master branch of ngx_stream_lua_module requires NGINX 1.13.3+. It's documented in its README file.

[webandbusiness]

Ok so the better solution is to avoid openresty? and instead join
nginx 1.13.x + Luajit2.1+lua-nginx-module+ngx_stream_lua_module to have a http+tcp server all in one?
Right

[agentzh]

@webandbusiness Not really. For the best result, you should use the following OpenResty preview version instead:

https://openresty.org/download/openresty-1.13.4.1rc0.tar.gz

Then you can compile the latest git master branch of stream-lua-nginx-module like this:

./configure --with-stream --with-stream_ssl_module \
    --add-module=/path/to/stream-lua-nginx-module -j8
make -j8
sudo make install

Please me know how it works. It compiles fine on my side at least.

[agentzh]

BTW, we'll probably bundle and enable ngx_stream_lua_module by default in the next OpenResty formal version (probably 1.13.4.1) if everything goes well.

@webandbusiness I said you should use the latest master branch of stream-lua-nginx-module but you seems to be still using the old tagged version. Alas.

[webandbusiness]

Perfect!!!!!!!!!!
Fixed it, Thanks so much, for everything your doing
The power and reputation of openresty should allow TCP low level management to implement so many other protocols like mqtt.... and userdefined protocols also.
Indeed TCP should be allow by default in the next coming OPENRESTY
Long Live to Openresty
Good Job agentzh
