Can you run 'nginx -V' in the container that fails to start and post the output here, please?
We build nginx with auth_request module so my main guess is that you are trying to use some other nginx build.
Or maybe the 'auth_request' line has some non-ascii characters in it and you have to retype it to make sure symbols match what nginx expects.

[divyashree123456]

Hi @oxpa ,
I tried running nginx -V in compose file the following was a output:

the compose file is :

nginx:
    command:
    - /docker-entrypoint.sh
    - nginx
    - -V
    container_name: edgex-nginx
    depends_on:
      security-secretstore-setup:
        condition: service_started
    entrypoint:
    - /bin/sh
    - /edgex-init/nginx_wait_install.sh
    environment:
      PROXY_SETUP_HOST: edgex-security-proxy-setup

And how can we configure auth _request in the nginx. please do suggest me on this
Thanks in advance

[divyashree123456]

please @oxpa Help me to resolve this issue.

[oxpa]

@divyashree123456 judging by the configure arguments - you didn't build auth request module. So you have to rebuilt nginx binary. And it also probably means that the docker image you are using is not from this repo.

[divyashree123456]

Hi @oxpa ,
I m building nginx for riscv using this repo files as reference.
Thank you for the inputs , i will try to rebuild a nginx binary.

[thresheek]

Hi @divyashree123456, did the rebuild fix the issue?

[divyashree123456]

Hi @oxpa , we rebuild nginc with auth request module ,this issue got resloved by this .
But now I m facing issue related to some file as nginx: [emerg] mkdir() "/run/nginx/client_body_temp" failed (2: No such file or directory)
need to add any configurations for this.

Please give your inputs for this.
Thanks in advance

[divyashree123456]

Hi @oxpa please give me any suggestion or a input for this issue .

[oxpa]

@divyashree123456 the error message contains all the information. There is nothing I can add to it.

[divyashree123456]

Hi @oxpa any suggestions to resolve this.
I tried creating this directory and checked but still facing issue nginx: [emerg] mkdir() "/run/nginx/client_body_temp" failed (2: No such file or directory)

[oxpa]

@divyashree123456 I don't think this question belongs here: this is definitely not an nginx docker image problem.
And I'd like to keep issues for the repository they belong to, not to any nginx and docker issues in general.
But you can still get proper help with your endeavor in community slack: https://www.f5.com/company/blog/nginx/nginx-wants-you-join-us-on-the-nginxcommunity-slack
