See #1501 (comment).
You need to put lua-resty-core in your package.path.

thank you ，i try

[Firegarden]

How do you actually do this? I am having same problem.

@wangkepermit

You need to put lua-resty-core in your package.path.

I am using the official docker container, isn't that supposed to be in the path already?

Example: sudo nano /etc/nginx/nginx.conf

lua_package_path "/usr/local/lib/lua/?.lua;;";

Where is package.path?

[abhipsamishra0110]

Any fixes available for this please? I have a similar issue on MAC M1, while running on docker. nginx shows as starting up successfully but the logs show PANIC! How to include in package.path for docker? Any way to add in nginx config file ?

[Firegarden]

Did you add the path to your nginx config?
lua_package_path "/usr/local/lib/lua/?.lua;;";

[abhipsamishra0110]

Indeed I have, but I get this error consistently when nginx starts up.

PANIC: unprotected error in call to Lua API (bad light userdata pointer),

am using LuaJIT Version 2.1.0-beta3 and openresty-lua-nginx-module of version 0.10.15. Ngnix alpine version of 1.14.2.

Badly stuck on this, tried all kinds of workarounds, like adding lua package path and upgrading libraries, but nothing works :(

Please can anyone help resolve. :( :(

[Firegarden]

Please clarify if you are using the latest openresty version of LuaJIT v2.1-20210510?

If you are using openresty-lua-nginx-module then you need to use the openresty version of lua jit

I've spent a whole day looking for a solution.
Just clone current project lua-resty-core

and setup nginx.conf file regarding the documentation.

[Firegarden]

I am now having the same problem. I will try clone current project from lua-resty-core

[zhuizhuhaomeng]

you should add the detail info about how you build your openresty/nginx

[Firegarden]

Turns out I was using an older version of the code and by cloning the current project I was able to build fine on Ubuntu 20. Sorry for the confusion.

[nilyang]

Did you add the path to your nginx config? lua_package_path "/usr/local/lib/lua/?.lua;;";

I'v solved it by add it to the path's last:

lua_package_path "/etc/nginx/library/?.lua;;/usr/local/share/lua/5.1/?.lua;;/usr/local/lib/lua/?.lua;;";

@wangkepermit

您需要将 lua-resty-core 放入 package.path 中。

我正在使用官方的 docker 容器，它不是应该已经在路径中了吗？

示例： sudo nano /etc/nginx/nginx.conf

lua_package_path "/usr/local/lib/lua/?.lua;;";

amazing solution!!

Is there a way to custom the path, I have install openresty in /home/mydir/usr/local/ not /usr/local, This directory/home/mydir/usr/local/usr/local/openresty/lualib/resty/core exists correctly . And I add lua_package_path "/home/mydir/usr/local/share/lua/5.1?.lua;;/home/mydir/usr/local/lib/lua/?.lua;;"; , but it still does not work, it is the same error.
