NGINX and environment variables from configuration file
13,497
From the documentation you linked to the "Context" for the env
directive is main
, not server
. Put the directive outside of your server { ... }
block (outside of any block).
See also this discussion. I do not believe that the env
directive does what you are looking for.

I'm trying to set some environment variables to nginx via it's configuration file. I'm using nginx/0.8.53 and it's not working.
server { listen 80; server_name localdictus; root /opt/vdmo_dictus/public; # <--- be sure to point to 'public'! passenger_enabled on; rails_env development; env VDMO_MANDANT = "somevalue"; }
This is the error message:
unknown directive "env" in /opt/nginx/conf/nginx.conf:43
The documentation tells me that there is an "env" command... so what I'm doing wrong ?? http://wiki.nginx.org/CoreModule#env
setting the environment variables via export on the shell is not an option for my application by the way.
Here are the lines:
37: server { 38: listen 80; 39: server_name localdictus; 40: root /opt/vdmo_dictus/public; # <--- be sure to point to 'public'! 41: passenger_enabled on; 42: rails_env development; 43: env VDMO_MANDANT = "somevalue"; 44: }
Regards,
Alex
