Upgrade nginx on the fly - no downtime

          #first please check pid file by:

          cat /var/run/nginx.pid  

#copy new binary to /sbin/nginx and force overwrite if you don't use option "-f" you will see this error : 
cp: cannot create regular file ‘/sbin/nginx’: Text file busy
/bin/cp -f nginx /sbin/nginx 

#spawn a new nginx master/workers set

kill -s USR2 `cat /var/run/nginx.pid`

#check process

ps aux | grep nginx

# check pid 

tail -n +1 /var/run/nginx.pid*

#shut down the old master's worker

kill -s WINCH `cat /var/run/nginx.pid.oldbin`

#check 
ps aux | grep nginx

safely shut down the old master process

kill -s QUIT `cat /var/run/nginx.pid.oldbin`

Solved : ./configure: error: the Google perftools module requires the Google perftools library


./configure: error: the Google perftools module requires the Google perftools
library. You can either do not enable the module or install the library.

to fix above error run this cmd:
yum install gperftools-devel

Understanding naxsilogs

NAXSI_FMT

NAXSI_FMT are outputed by naxsi in your errorlog :

2013/11/10 07:36:19 [error] 8278#0: *5932 NAXSI_FMT: ip=X.X.X.X&server=Y.Y.Y.Y&uri=/phpMyAdmin-2.8.2/scripts/setup.php&learning=0&vers=0.52&total_processed=472&total_blocked=204&block=0&cscore0=$UWA&score0=8&zone0=HEADERS&id0=42000227&var_name0=user-agent, client: X.X.X.X, server: blog.memze.ro, request: "GET /phpMyAdmin-2.8.2/scripts/setup.php HTTP/1.1", host: "X.X.X.X"

Here, client X.X.X.X request to server Y.Y.Y.Y did trigger the rule 42000227 in the var named user-agent in theHEADERS zone. id X might seem obscure, but you can see the meaning in naxsi_core.rules:

MainRule "str:<" "msg:html open tag" "mz:ARGS|URL|BODY|$HEADERS_VAR:Cookie" "s:$XSS:8" id:1302;

NAXSI_FMT is composed of different items :

  • ip : Client's ip
  • server : Requested Hostname (as seen in http header Host)
  • uri: Requested URI (without arguments, stops at ?)
  • learning: tells if naxsi was in learning mode (0/1)
  • vers : Naxsi version, only since 0.51
  • total_processed: Total number of requests processed by nginx's worker
  • total_blocked: Total number of requests blocked by (naxsi) nginx's worker
  • zoneN: Zone in which match happened (see "Zones" in the table below)
  • idN: The rule id that matched
  • var_nameN: Variable name in which match happened (optional)
  • cscoreN : named score tag
  • scoreN : associated named score value

Several groups of zone, id, var_name, cscore and score can be present in a single line.

NAXSI_EXLOG

NAXSI_EXLOG is a complement to naxsilogs. Along with exceptions, it contains actual content of the matched request. While NAXSI_FMT only contains IDs and location of exception, NAXSI_EXLOG provides actual content, allowing you to easily decide if it's a false positive or not.

Learning tools uses this at his advantage. Extensive log is enabled by adding the following line in your server {} section but out of your location.

set $naxsi_extensive_log 1;

This feature is provided by runtime-modifiers.

2013/05/30 20:47:05 [debug] 10804#0:*1 NAXSI_EXLOG: ip=127.0.0.1&server=127.0.0.1&uri=/&id=1302&zone=ARGS&var_name=a&content=a<>bcd
2013/05/30 20:47:05 [error] 10804#0:*1 NAXSI_FMT: ip=127.0.0.1&server=127.0.0.1&uri=/&learning=0&vers=0.50&total_processed=1&total_blocked=1&zone0=ARGS&id0=1302&var_name0=a, client: 127.0.0.1, server: , request: "GET /?a=a<>bcd HTTP/1.0", host: "127.0.0.1"

Naxsi Internal IDs

"User defined" rules are supposed to have IDs > 1000.

IDs inferior 1000 are reserved for naxsi internal rules, which are usually related to protocol sanity and things that cannot be expressed through regular expressions or string matches.

Think twice before whitelisting one of those IDs, as it might partially/totally disable naxsi.
