Unable to install libnginx-mod-http-passenger

[veekram]

It's been a while I am trying to install phusion passenger. I followed this official documentation from phusion passenger.

Below is my configuration

Configuration:
Distributor ID:	Ubuntu
Description:	Ubuntu 18.04.5 LTS
Release:	18.04
Codename: bionic

Nginx:
nginx version: nginx/1.18.0

I get the following error while trying to install libnginx-mod-http-passenger.
sudo apt-get install -y libnginx-mod-http-passenger

Tried upgrading nginx version to 1.19, still no luck.

However downgrading nginx to version 1.14 and following this still works. But I am looking to upgrade nginx to either version 1.18.0 or 1.19.0 and latest stable version of phusion passenger. Anyone faced this as well ?

Bionic comes with Nginx 1.14, if you want to use our packaged Nginx module, you must use your distro's provided Nginx package. If for example you have the repo provided by NGINX setup, you will instead need to compile a dynamic module compatible with that Nginx.
