    Latest nginx versions supports the dynamic modules and i don't use the geoIP module so i want to clear the unnecessary modules from my server.

    dynamic-modules.conf includes these lines;
    Code:
    load_module "modules/ngx_http_image_filter_module.so";
load_module "modules/ngx_http_geoip_module.so";
load_module "modules/ngx_stream_module.so";
    If i comment the geoip line, it will be disabled or do i need re-compile nginx with disabling the geoIP?

    Code:
    #load_module "modules/ngx_http_geoip_module.so";
    What is the way ? Thanks

    Nginx 1.19.x
    MariaDB 5.5/10.x
    yes you can unload dynamic modules that way

    but geoip is used in geoip.conf include otherwise
    Code (Text):
     nginx -t
nginx: [emerg] unknown directive "geoip_country" in /usr/local/nginx/conf/geoip.conf:2
nginx: configuration file /usr/local/nginx/conf/nginx.conf test failed
