looks like incompatibility with openresty echo nginx module GitHub - openresty/echo-nginx-module: An Nginx module for bringing the power of "echo", "sleep", "time" and more to Nginx's config file

compile error: ngx_http_connection_t uses ngx_chain_t instead of ngx_buf_t in nginx1.11.10 · Issue #64 · openresty/echo-nginx-module · GitHub

and

Nginx 1.11.11 Compilation Error · Issue #1016 · openresty/lua-nginx-module · GitHub

As 1.11.11 isn't a security release, for now stick with 1.11.10

 

you both probably had NGINX_OPENRESTY='n' disabled for openresty nginx modules which is enabled by default NGINX_OPENRESTY='y' and required for some nginx usage cases like wordpress redis cache at nginx level etc.

If you web apps don't use nginx set or echo commands, then you can probably disable NGINX_OPENRESTY='n' but i'd just stick with nginx 1.11.10 until fix is made for openresty echo and lua nginx modules

• GitHub - openresty/lua-nginx-module: Embed the Power of Lua into NGINX HTTP servers
• GitHub - openresty/echo-nginx-module: An Nginx module for bringing the power of "echo", "sleep", "time" and more to Nginx's config file

 

someone submitted a pull request patch fix for echo nginx module so will look at that fixed build with nginx/1.11.11 · defanator/echo-nginx-module@d16babc · GitHub

and for lua nginx module fixed build with nginx/1.11.11 by defanator · Pull Request #1017 · openresty/lua-nginx-module · GitHub

 

looks like nginx 1.11.12 was released for a quick bug fix though we'd still waiting on echo nginx fix too
http://nginx.org/en/CHANGES

 

FYI, just updated 123.09beta01 with a temp work around fix using the echo nginx module patch so that nginx 1.11.11+ can compile Just until Openresty folks update their echo nginx module

 

not yet for official fix in echo nginx module compile error: ngx_http_connection_t uses ngx_chain_t instead of ngx_buf_t in nginx1.11.10 · Issue #64 · openresty/echo-nginx-module · GitHub but 123.09beta01 can update to nginx 1.11.12 if you want to as it has the workaround fix
