Hello,

I installed Nginx and Nginx-extra on an Ubuntu Focal 20.04.2 LTS server. I wanted to use access_by_lua directive and I got an error :
$> nginx -t
nginx: [emerg] unknown directive "access_by_lua" in /etc/nginx/nginx-lua-headers.conf:91

However it seems by typing nginx -V that the http-lua module is installed :

$> nginx -V 2>1& | tr ' ' '\n'

the weird thing is that I did the same thing on an older version of Ubuntu (Xenial - 16.04.2 LTS) (ie: apt install nginx nginx-extras) and the directive "access_by_lua" works out of the box on it...

Can someone please help me with that ?

Thanks in advance!
Regards,

Yannick
