Adding Custom Build Flags or External Modules

The Cpnginx uses the default build configure settings from  /etc/cpnginx/build/configure.sh  . You may create a custom build configure script as follows:

cp -v /etc/cpnginx/build/configure.sh /etc/cpnginx/build/custom/configure.sh

Now edit the custom configure script /etc/cpnginx/build/custom/configure.sh and add the build flags. An example is given below,

--with-http_mp4_module
--with-http_flv_module
--with-my-custom-module=/usr/src/my-custom-module
