'Nginx failed test version 1010002 instead of 1012000 in /usr/share/nginx/modules/mod-http-image-filter.conf

Upgraded nginx on a centos 6 test system from 1.10.x to 1.12.x via yum update. I then followed steps to get GeoIP module working (https://tushev.org/articles/linux-bsd/32/using-dynamic-geoip-module-with-nginx-centos).

When I run nginx -t, the following error is displayed:

$ nginx -t
nginx: [emerg] module "/usr/lib64/nginx/modules/ngx_http_image_filter_module.so" version 1010002 instead of 1012000 in /usr/share/nginx/modules/mod-http-image-filter.conf:1
nginx: configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf test failed

In my nginx.conf file I commented out the line below

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

and nginx worked as expected again. That's great but doesn't solve my problem. Since this is a dev environment I need to get this working 100%. I am unsure that I really need the image filter after reading the specs (http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_image_filter_module.html).

Further, I did add individual modules back with luck as well:

load_module "modules/ngx_http_geoip_module.so";

I would like to know how to solve the version issue that the error displays and to know if omitting these modules, outside of the one I want, is okay?

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Posting another solution for people having similar problems, running these following commands worked for me on Centos 7 after I had already configured yum to look to the latest version:

sudo yum remove nginx-mod*
sudo yum install nginx-module-*

Here are some more details

In case Someone face the same problem i invite him to follow these steps to resolve the issues of the compatibility:

before making the module ngx_http_modsecurity_module.so that needed to be load in nginx.conf config file under /etc/nginx/nginx.config.

load_module modules/ngx_http_modsecurity_module.so;

  1. perform version check against your pre-installed nginx
    2. `$ nginx -v`
    in my case `nginx version: nginx/1.15.10 `
  2. download the same version
    3. `$ wget http://nginx.org/download/nginx-1.15.10.tar.gz`
  3. $ tar zxvf nginx-1.15.10.tar.gz
  4. $ cd nginx-1.15.10
  5. $ ./configure --with-compat --add-dynamic-module=/path_to_your/modsecurity-nginx-connector
  6. $ cp objs/ngx_http_modsecurity_module.so /etc/nginx/modules
  7. add the module to nginx at the beginning of the /etc/nginx/nginx.conf file, after the `user` directive
    8. `load_module modules/ngx_http_modsecurity_module.so;`
  8. $ nginx -t
    9. `nginx: the configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf syntax is ok
    nginx: configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf test is successful `

and continue the process... as described here nginx.org hope im helpful.

Rollback to 1.10.2. nginx: [emerg] module "/etc/nginx/modules/ngx_http_geoip_module.so" version 1010002 instead of 1013002 in /etc/nginx/nginx.conf:12 nginx version: nginx/1.13.2

I found that I needed to obliterate all the previous nginx-related files rm -rf /etc/nginx and then after another make install everything checked out.

I just backed up my .conf files then uninstalled and reinstalled nginx and it was fixed.

Solution 6:[6]

my problem here is

sudo nginx -t
2021/07/22 16:54:54 [emerg] 2637399#2637399: module "/usr/lib/nginx/modules/ngx_http_geoip2_module.so" version 1020001 instead of 1020000 in /etc/nginx/nginx.conf:1
nginx: configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf test failed

This means my ngx_http_geoip2_module module version is not matched with my Nginx version. Since I just installed ngx_http_geoip2_module latest version, it must be my Nginx version that needs to update.

Upgrade Nginx version fixed my problem

Same problem after updating Nginx from version 1.16.1 to 1.20.1:

# yum update nginx
...
Updated:
  nginx.x86_64 1:1.20.1-9.el7

Dependency Updated:
  nginx-filesystem.noarch 1:1.20.1-9.el7

Complete!

# nginx -t
nginx: [emerg] module "/usr/lib64/nginx/modules/ngx_http_image_filter_module.so" version 1016001 instead of 1020001 in /usr/share/nginx/modules/mod-http-image-filter.conf:1
nginx: configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf test failed

Based on the comment of Syd Lambert https://stackoverflow.com/a/58108125/13088275

It is not necessary to delete and reinstall Nginx modules but instead update them:

# yum update nginx*
Updated:
  nginx-all-modules.noarch 1:1.20.1-9.el7   nginx-mod-http-image-filter.x86_64 1:1.20.1-9.el7   nginx-mod-http-perl.x86_64 1:1.20.1-9.el7   nginx-mod-http-xslt-filter.x86_64 1:1.20.1-9.el7
  nginx-mod-mail.x86_64 1:1.20.1-9.el7      nginx-mod-stream.x86_64 1:1.20.1-9.el7

Complete!

After updating all Nginx modules, Nginx test was successful and I can safe reload Nginx.

# nginx -t
nginx: the configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf syntax is ok
nginx: configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf test is successful

# nginx -s reload

So the best way to update Nginx is to use the command yum update nginx*.
