Dynamic modules

  • Dynamic modules are loaded using the load_modules directive.

    The RPM package for each module has a .conf file in the /usr/share/nginx/modules directory. The .conf file contains a single load_modules directive.

    This means that whenever a new dynamic module is installed, it will automatically be enabled and NGINX will be reloaded.

  • Prevent dynamic modules from being enabled automatically

    You may want to avoid dynamic modules being enabled automatically. Simply remove this line from the top of /etc/nginx/nginx.conf:

    include /usr/share/nginx/modules/*.conf;
