I am trying to setup Nginx on my CentOS 7 VPS, I have installed Nginx, MariaDb and PHP.

But when I run nginx -t I get:

nginx: [emerg] module "/usr/lib64/nginx/modules/ngx_http_geoip_module.so" version 1012002 instead of 1014000 in /usr/share/nginx/modules/mod-http-geoip.conf:1
nginx: configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf test failed

Why is this happening? I haven't even touched anything ngx_http_geoip_module.so related.

  • I had the same problem, seems like a package management issue.

I had nginx 1.12 installed and updated to 1.16 using this link

Then I encountered to the same error. Removing old module files using this command solved my problem.

sudo yum remove nginx-mod*

Ok here is what I did to fix this.

yum remove nginx

I then re-installed it by doing:

yum install nginx

And now when I did nginx -t I got:

nginx: configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf test is successful
