Build nginx with the custom module

cd nginx-1.19.3/
make

Create your test folder

# create the test folder 
mkdir nginx-test
mkdir nginx-test/logs
mkdir nginx-test/conf
mkdir nginx-test/temp
mkdir nginx-test/run
# copy the nginx file
cp nginx-1.19.3/objs/nginx nginx-test/
# copy the nginx sample configuration file
cp nginx-upstream-module/example/nginx.conf nginx-test/conf/

Run your custom nginx build

cd nginx-test
./nginx
