/etc/nginx/mime.types file not found

[0x9090]

We are trying to use this module to set up an Nginx Reverse proxy which will also perform SSL termination. I am using version 0.3.0 of this module. When using this Puppet configuration,

class { 'nginx':
    manage_repo     => false,
    package_ensure  => 'latest',
  }
  nginx::resource::vhost { $::fqdn:
    listen_port => 443,
    ssl_port    => 443,
    ssl         => true,
    ssl_cert    => '/opt/###/tls/###.cer',
    ssl_key     => '/opt/###/tls/###.key',
    proxy       => 'http://127.0.0.1:8500',
  }

Nginx service throws the error on startup,

2016/03/31 11:00:22 [emerg] 24163#0: open() "/etc/nginx/mime.types" failed (2: No such file or directory) in /etc/nginx/nginx.conf:15

The generated /etc/nginx/nginx.conf looks like

  include /etc/nginx/conf.d/*.conf;

}

Is there a way to disable include /etc/nginx/mime.types; line in this module? It seems like that is the misbehaving configuration option

I had the same issue, but take a look inside your nginx package and that file should be there. It IS part of the nginx package. But in my case as well something happened to it during the lifetime of the machine. I've reinstalled the package and it's back. Hope this helps.

Added back in a default mime.types file, and nginx sprang back to life. Not sure why this happened, as this is a fresh Debian Jessie machine

The /etc/nginx/mime.types file that got me running -> https://gist.github.com/0x9090/ee977ce79ff67ce0208a1b6d68a5a190

Same issue here, fresh machine but it apparently isn't happy about it. I had to do an apt-get autoremove --purge nginx nginx-common nginx-core && rm -rf /var/www/html to get it all. After that it works okay.

Quite ironic that this link is now dead.
