I'm trying to setup a UDP Load Balancer using NGINX (1.12.1).
However I'm getting an error…
[ec2-user@ip-172-31-0-184 nginx]$ sudo service nginx start Starting
nginx: nginx: [emerg] unknown directive "stream" in
/etc/nginx/conf.d/load-balancer.conf:1
Here is the config I'm trying to use:
stream {
upstream backend1 {
server 10.0.1.50:450;
}
upstream backend2 {
server 10.0.1.50:500;
}
# This server accepts all traffic to port 80 and passes it to the upstream.
# Notice that the upstream name and the proxy_pass need to match.
server {
listen 500 udp;
proxy_pass backend2;
}
server {
listen 4500 udp;
proxy_pass backend1;
}
}
And here is the output of nginx -V, to verify that stream is installed.
[ec2-user@ip-172-31-0-184 nginx]$

Can anyone please help me?

The
stream { ... }
block is a top-level block. The files included from/etc/nginx/conf.d/
are probably included into thehttp { ... }
block. Check yournginx.conf
file (probably located in/etc/nginx
), and locate theinclude
directives.
